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.
