или surrounded by a blockade

помимо войск - unbeknown to the troops?

No, Chris, "помимо" means "apart/aside from".

Igor Yurchenkoadded a comment 9 years ago

"unbeknown to somebody" would be something like "без ведома кого либо"

Thank you both! Are the troops inside or outside the blockade, or have I completely misunderstood?

Igor Yurchenkoadded a comment 9 years ago

inside. roughly: "not only the troops, but the citizens were surrounded"
