Wishlist: Set Battle Orders : More Options

Movement order doesn't work as you suggest. But you still have a chance of stopping him with your approach.
Assuming one of your 5 armies is coming from the province he's attacking, there is a decent chance they will fight in his starting province. Your other armies will have no effect on his movement, but if the fight does take place in his starting province they will join in.

Movement between friendly provinces takes place first. Then all movement into hostile territory takes place simultaneously. When armies would pass each other (A->B and B->A) there is a chance they will fight in either province or a smaller chance they will miss each and swap provinces. These chances appear to be based on the size of the armies.
