Yes. History is full of examples where this has happened. However, usually, this only occurs when the big army invades - in this case, the smaller army can use Guerrilla tactics to defeat the bigger army (Vietnam War being a recent case in point). it is much rarer for a small army to defeat a bigger one when the small army is invading. Usually, for this to happen, the invading army will be either very strong and skilled though small, or the big enemy army is weak, poorly led or armed. Often, some combination of those two requirements. There are cases of that happening however. (Charles XII of Sweden's wars against Russia)
