Sitting outside a wall is not waiting. In Age of Medieval the besieger has as much to decide as the besieged.
Your army eats. The siege bar shows how many days of food the troop has, and when it runs low, men desert. You can send parties out to forage, which feeds the camp and thins it for a while.
You can offer terms. A garrison that is hungry and outnumbered may accept and open the gate without an assault; one that is strong will not, and the offer tells them you are in a hurry.
And the town can strike back. If a lord is sheltering inside, the garrison may ride out under him or under the castellan and attack your camp. Meanwhile your engines are being built. Storm now with a ram, or wait for the trebuchet and hope the food lasts: that is the siege.
