No. Think seige. It's not a seige, but think general. It can't be more obvious

Dagor Bragollach is the only one where the battle was started due to an army breaking a siege, rather than marching on an enemy stronghold?

-dagor bragollach is started when Morgoth breaks the long siege of the elves.
-helms deep enemy sets off towards Helm's Deep
-Pelennor, enemy marches to Minas Tirith
-Azanulzibar dwarves set off towards Moria to fight
-Gondolin, enemy marches on Gondolin

It's kind of hard to see what I'm getting at, but if it's right you'll know perk!

No, you already have the answer. BTW, it's the Battle of Azanulzibar! You had the answer. Just find another way to phrase it! The answer contains seiging, but it isn't a seige itself. Woops. Did I give it away. Oh well, you've basically had it all the time. Just follow the hints and you'll get it and slap yourself in the head.

Battle of five Armies
Scouring of the Shire
Battle of Pelennor fields
Battle of helm's deep

Lots and lots of possibilities in this game! But I think mine is pretty obvious...
