Aragorn didn't need to intentionally get himself surrounded. He could've lured the stupid orcs into a trap in Ithilien or something. He didn't need two groups of 3,000 men surrounded by tens of thousands of orcs.

If Frodo failed to cast the ring in, it would have been an utter disaster. It was far too large of a risk, and even though it succeeded, I think the group should've been nearly completely wiped out. There were no tactics for aragorn to resort to with such a small force. In this case, being outnumbered was horrible. The groups would've fallen back in on themselves and crumbled.

But of course, Ring trumps all, I guess...
