In The Art of War, Sun Tzu said "When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard." The logic behind this is that fleeing soldiers trying desperately to escape are easier to kill or capture than enemies with their backs against the wall making a desperate last stand. The Mongols used this tactic against the Hungarians at the Battle of Mohi.

Although there are opposing examples. At the Battle of Cannae, Hannibal managed to encircle the Romans completely, and when that happened the battle quickly turned into a slaughter.
