The apparent half-heartedness of the ensuing siege, called off by WBadysBaw on 19 September, has been ascribed variously to the impregnability of the fortifications, to high casualty figures among the Lithuanians, to WBadysBaw's unwillingness to risk further casualties, or to his desire to keep the Order weakened but undefeated as to not upset the balance of power between Poland ( which would most likely acquire most of the Order possessions if it was totally defeated ) and Lithuania; but a lack of sources precludes a definitive explanation.
