Yeah, but was with an army or something that could pass as one. Trying to maintain a siege of a large castle fortification is nigh impossible since you only have one siege weapon that requires a good deal of men that are vulnerable to getting killed or the siege engine getting disabled. About 40% of his forces are meant to fight on horseback and are going to be pretty useless in siege warfare for the most part since Baldwin and his forces will refuse to take the field when they lie in the superior position. I could see Badlwin letting forces out at night and then having them retreat back as soon as the other opponents begin to mobilize and wear Timur down. I never said he wasn't good, I just said his loadout is better for open combat against knights in more expansive terrain not in a castle where his lightweight and quick gear is more of a hindrance. Baldwin can station about 12-13 men on each wall to defend. 12-13 men trying to block a castle is barely a remotely sizeable force and completely ineffective at trying to maintain a siege especially when 5 or more of those men have to run a siege engine and are left in the open going to get hit.
