Don't be ridiculous, you don't lay siege to an office building.
"Lay siege" and "attack" are basically the same thing. The Texans did not lay siege to San Antonio, the Mexicans did. The Texans were the defenders.

Yes, it's the simple past of the verb - to siege (or more usually - to lay siege to, or to besiege), but it can be a noun as well - a siege.
Vicksburg, Mississippi
Richmond and Petersburg
After failing in several assaults, he dug fifteen miles of trenches and settled down to a siege, knowing that he could starve them out.
The Greek expedition was a looting one. A rich trading city like Troy was their primary target, but without a siege train they could not breach the walls, and they did not even have the resources to lay siege and starve it out. So after their initial assault failed, they went off looting the eastern Mediterranean coast for the next nine years. After they had taken the best pickings, they returned in the 10th year for the richest prize - another attempt on Troy. Again they failed to capture the city, and the legend says that they got a party inside the city wall by the wooden horse ruse, opened the gates and captured the city.
The siege of Petersburg a city in Virginia was the main factor in the fall of Richmond. Petersburg lay south of the Confederate capital of Richmond. By laying siege to this city it began to cut off the railway supplies to Richmond.
