Although the army would be more careful of actually engaging.
I've actually seen a 900+ strong Egyptian army vacate a province when faced with 3 units of Gothic Knights led by my 9 Dread 4 star Jedi General, who happened to ba a Murderer, a Butcher *and* a Natural Born Killer.

They didn't even hole up in the castle either, they completely left the province. And no, their Sultan was not in that province.
