attacking
Attacking generally refers to initiating aggressive action or hostility towards someone or something, often with the intention to harm, damage, or defeat. It can be either physical such as in combat and sports, or non-physical such as in verbal abuse or cyberattacks. An attack can also refer to a vigorous or determined attempt to overcome, undermine, or destroy something.

Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
attacking
The act of making a general assault or onset for the capture of a post, fort, etc., or the breaking of a body of troops. Previous to an assault on a fortified position, the artillery ought to support the other troops by a combined fire of guns, howitzers, and small mortars, so that, if possible, the fire may be simultaneous, as such diversity of projectiles would tend to distract the defenders, and prevent them from extinguishing any fires among buildings, besides throwing them into confusion at the moment of assault. In cases of surprise, when immediate action is required, this method cannot, of course, be practicable.
