If you don't start the siege who knows what it would produce in the next turn you don't siege it - Siege stuff asap, and all cav army is perfect for that.
Me too! I have a vanguard of all-cav stacks that sweep over the border and eliminate any enemy field armies before sieging their closest cities.

Then the second wave of invaders is an all-infantry stack full of spears and archers (along with Greek fire if I'm Byz) - they take over the siege from the cavalry commanders who gallop off into the sunset and leave the infantry behind to do the dirty work (once the third wave of artillery arrives to break down the walls and smash the towers.)
