I might have misunderstood what you said....
But.. you don't have to make all the armies around an enemy attack it...
As long as there are friendly armies (or allies) in the 8 squares around the enemy army to are attacking then they are automatically drawn into the battle.... All you have to do is move the units next to the target and then select the stack you want to actually control and perform the attack with that...
I have found a useful thing to do in a siege is to not actually surround the enemy but to place the reinforcments for my seige force immediately behind the siege force, perferably in a fort without a general... This means that when/if the enemy sally the backup troops are available as reinforcements without having to walf around the settlement...
If I follow this thread it would also be a good idea to ensure the reinforcment army is the stronger one...
