One of the best ways for a small, defending Army to defeat a much larger one is to pick the battleground. For example, in Ancient Times, King Leonidas of Sparta defeated a much larger Persian army because they fought at the mountain pass of Thermopylae. The spartan men could line the entire mountain pass, however the Persians could only deploy a few men to attack. There is historical question about whether this battle was a true victory for Greece, as the Persians did eventually get past the Greek forces, however I believe this to be a Greek victory, as many Persians were lost. On the offensive, one should use his men wisely, make no sacrifices, and remember it is okay to retreat. Google Leonidas or Alexander the great to see historical examples of tactics beating strength in numbers.

Can you win a war with a small army against a big enemy?
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)
