Encircle and blockade (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

besiege

(Other definitions for besiege that I've seen before include "Surround - harass" , "Invest" , "Surround (a stronghold)" , "Encircle as a military tactic" , "Surround (a place) with hostile intent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
