But the overcautious Halleck soon settles into a siege around Corinth, wishing to avoid repeating the bloodletting of Shiloh and thus allowing Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard time to try and evacuate his forces from the Army of Mississippi out of Corinth before they are surrounded and destroyed.
