Yeah both are true.

One thing to note is that the reverse is not true for storming. So if you set one army to Storm a castle and move another army into that province, they will not assist in the storm attempt.

Also bear in mind, if the enemy sees you with a large army adjacent to the castle, he may send a small contingent (a single commander or scout set to Move instead of Sneak can work) towards your army that turn, as there is a chance the combat occurs in the other province, and your Break Siege force will do so without their intended support. It's very evil. 8 \

Yeah, but its also useful to do so, or leave one commander not storming.

That way, you will still be sieging the castle if you fail to take it.
