In respect to the history of the USSR in World War II, the 'longest siege' of the conflict was without doubt the siege of Leningrad. Surrounded by German and Finnish forces in the fall of 1941 (September 8th), Leningrad was not securely re-connected to the rest of the country until January of 1944, thereby leading to its remembrance as the '900-day siege' -- one of the longest sieges in all of military history.
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.
Answer The Battle of Champion's Hill, just east of Vicksburg, was fought on 16 May 1863. This battle was fought out in the open and was a set-back for the Confederates. This forced them to return to the defenses of Vicksburg, which began the siege. The siege ended when General Pemberton surrendered Vicksburg on 3 July.
