I’ve started reading some posts here on siege warfare during the renaissance, but haven’t been able to find much information on how the attackers deployed their troops, so here’s what I’m wondering:
Would soldiers scale walls?
If yes, would they use siege towers, ladders or something else?
How would pike formations be employed by the attackers?
Were there any infantry formations that fared better than pike-squares?
Would infantry storm breeches?
Were there different tactics from what I’ve mentioned in getting your infantry to the enemy?
How would arquebusiers / musketeers be employed by the attackers?
Did cavalry ever contribute in these battles - if so, how?
While you wait, you might want to look at my past answer here, which focuses more on the 17th and 18th centuries than the renaissance.
