A besieged army can't retreat and can't be reinforced by Muster dice; it can only sortie. Five units is the limit in the Stronghold, and units beyond that are removed when the siege starts. The besiegers can bring in new troops as a normal move. An outside army can attack the besiegers from an adjacent region without entering the Stronghold.
