It seems even if you had bigger numbers, if your army is attacked on multiple sides you lose. Cant soldiers push from a single point strongly to break it? I am thinking of a historic setting, no thecnologically advanced weapons.

Being surrounded means you have restricted access to resources. That makes it difficult to continue fighting, because you can’t restock ammunition, food, etc.
Being surrounded also removes the possibility of reinforcements. Soldiers are people too. They get tired, injured, and otherwise decrease in fighting ability as these things happen. That’s concerning for a battle.
“Pushing from a single point” doesn’t work, because the army that’s surrounding you can attack from behind *and* the side. You can’t push at a single point; that’s one of the primary benefits of surrounding someone.
