Yes, thats true, but that would be unwise for the raiders becuase they would lose TONS of troops and resources for nothing. The whole point of raiding and taking control of a capital is mostly to pillage, but if you have an ally in a war nearby, having a capital would increase your power in the region, and therefore your chances in that fight.

If it is obvious that the raiders are going to be defeated, then the only point of fighting for every block would be if they had reinforcements coming, or if they were trying to weaken them as much as possible for another reason. Otherwise, its just hurting them even further, and nobody ever wants that
