Artillery assault? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

battery

I believe this is a double definition.

'artillery' is the first definition.
(battery is a kind of artillery)

'assault?' is the second definition.
('battery' can be a synonym of 'assault')

(Other definitions for battery that I've seen before include "Equipment for war" , "Gun emplacement - egg farm" , "Power source; artillery unit" , "Source of charge" , "Personal attack" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
