I don't see levies or even 'normal' line troops routing easily.

I do see, as you say, the whole army hanging in there until the general dies, and the whole army has suffered 50% or so casualties.

I do see units suffering up to 90% casualties before routing (and then suffering the other 10% in retreat).
