Patient tactic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

siege

(Other definitions for siege that I've seen before include "Persistent attack" , "Act of surrounding a town or fortress" , "seat" , "Military operation ringing a town" , "Action that isolates and attacks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
