Ein viel grösseres Problem bot die für eine wirksame Verteidigung der Talsperre erforderliche Truppenzahl.

Vorsichtige Schätzungen ergeben einen Sollbestand von rund 2500 Mann.(1499/1500 hat sich gezeigt, dass 1000 Mann nicht ausreichten, um die Festung als Ganzes zu behaupten.)

Zudem konnten sich die grossen Höhenunterschiede in der Topographie von Bellinzona nachteilig für die Verteidigung auswirken, indem die stufenförmig abgesetzten Ring und Verbindungsmauern mit ihren schmalen Wehrgängen und steilen Treppen eine rasche Verschiebung von Reservekontingenten erschwerten.

The walls, however, were relatively weak and would not have resisted artillery fire ; the Milanese were well aware that it was practically impossible for the confederates to transport heavy assault cannon over the St. Gotthard Pass.

The most serious challenge was the huge number of troops needed to efficiently defend the barrage in its entirety. a cautious estimate would suggest that 2500 men were the minimum requirement (in 1499/1500, it was recognised that 1000 men were insufficient to keep the stronghold).

Another disadvantage was the topography of Bellinzona; the varying levels of the terrain meant that the gradient of the connecting castle walls, with their narrow battlements and steep flights of steps, hindered the progress of reserve troops.
