When the battle between armies is simulated, there is a long tail where the weaker army is already almost completely decimated, but continues to fight on. The weaker side's losses get ever smaller, since they are somewhat proportional to its strength. The combat strength graph usually resembles two declining exponential functions.
But IRL combat does not work that way. When the strength disparity growths, the weaker side usually takes more losses, while the stronger side takes less. And IRL 100k men are not stopped for weeks by a 1k residual force of a once 150k strong army.
