barraged
Overwhelmed with attacks
Barraged means subjected to a barrage—a concentrated, sustained outpouring.
Originally military (an artillery barrage), the word now typically describes being overwhelmed by questions, criticism, requests, or information: Reporters barraged the spokesperson with questions.
The sense is of relentless, often unwelcome bombardment from multiple directions at once.
