Perhaps a drawback is that the enemy general might escape, but realistically, a general who's lost his entire army should be running for his life!
Alas, you can't end the battle without losing it if there is still a standing foe on the field.

And if I was a general who has lost his whole army, I'd be likely to make a bloody end of myself rather than escaping and facing dishonnor.
