Sieges could last many weeks or months, depending on the quality of the siege artillery, the usage of siege towers and scaling ladders (both of which did not require destroying defences before invasion) as well as supplies for the attackers and the defenders.
Attrition due to a lack of food supply or disease were often reasons for sieges to last a much shorter time than they would have done otherwise.

A siege is when a castle, fort, walled town or city is surrounded and nothing is allowed to get in or out.
