Often in late game, two of your towns are being besieged at the same time. So you must quickly defend one and leave to help the other. But in vanilla Warband, the maximum number of reinforcement waves the attacker gets in a siege, is just 5. This means that you can only kill ~300 enemies in a single siege defense (out of the total 1500-2000), then they retreat and regroup for a few days - while the siege still continues. You lose time because of this and inevitably lose the other town.
So I just found out that, when you've killed all the enemies in the first siege defense, if you immediately press Tab and retreat (before the message "Battle won! Press Tab to leave..." comes up - this is important), another battle will be forced right away. So you get to kill another 300 enemies, and then can retreat again and get yet another forced battle - until you've wiped out so many that they actually run away from your town and not simply wait and regroup. Which allows you to leave and go help your other besieged town.
