The only way a seige story works is to put a ticking clock on some aspect of it, something that will force an ending one way or another.

For the people under seige, it can be lack of a specific resource - food, ammunition, oxygen, whatever - and once it's gone they're done, they will be defeated.

For the people at seige a good option is usually that "the cavalry" will arrive at a certain time so they have to break through the defence before that happens otherwise they have failed.

Do both and you have a time imperative on both of them to resolve things quickly.
