That does make sense, but usually, I do send out cavalry to chase down and cut down routing enemies. Rarely do more than a few get out of the battlefield.

The exception being, they can run faster than my troops can.

The number of men on each side might play a role, as well as the losses caused and suffered, but maybe the units that routed off field (many routers -> many survivors -> not decisive) plays a role as well. In such huge battles you tend to win by routing the enemy, as you don´t have the men to spare to run down all the routers, at least that tends to be the case for me.
