How did pitched battles happen in ancient times? I understand the point of warfare is to subjugate an enemy faction into submission by violent means, but if you're a general and your objective is to annihilate the enemy and hit it's core (Capital), why did

How did pitched battles happen in ancient times? I understand the point of warfare is to subjugate an enemy faction into submission by violent means, but if you're a general and your objective is to annihilate the enemy and hit it's core (Capital), why did armies choose a specific place to fight on? Did they just agree on fighting specifically somewhere and at a given time? I think they're all dumb as hell and I'd be a great napoleonic strategist.
