I can't destroy a city

[DSpawn]

Hy everyone,

I have a problem.... I have been playing civ 5 for a few days... and 2 days ago I decided to concur a city next to mine... since then I've been attacking it endlessly... with catapults and everything.... the city's life is at minimum but it's not destroyed, when my term comes, I fire with the first catapult the city life goes -1, but that's it, when I fire with all the other catapults and archers, etc... no life is being taken from the city...

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks....

You can't completely eliminate City States and Civ capitals.

Siege and ranged units cannot destroy a city from distance. You need to attack the city directly from melee range. Move another unit onto it's position.

Earlier in the game I concurred a city very easy, why this one is more special ?
If I can't concur the city, what can I do ? I can't make him to give me money or anything...
