Hi,
"We are instructed to leave a direction open, unsieged, when we besiege a city, so that they should have the means of flight. This way we will learn to act with mercy even upon our enemies in war. Also, this is advantageous in opening a path through which they will flee, rather than strengthen themselves against us."
(Ramban to Sefer haMitzvot, Omitted Aseh #5)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
