reattack
Charge once more
To reattack is to attack again, typically after an initial assault has been repelled or has failed to achieve its objective.
The term appears most often in military contexts: The battalion regrouped and reattacked at dawn.
It can also describe renewed criticism or aggression: Critics reattacked the policy after new data emerged.
