try volunteers from Roman lands? There were apparently enough Romans willing to work for other lords, especially deserters or those forced out because of crimes or tax pressure. And if there were enough germanic volunteers to fight for the Romans, there should have been some willing to go the other way..
Mostly though I'd say Attila would starve cities, not besiege them.
