Both. Stupendous amounts of experience make even levies killing machines, not to mention professional heavy infantry like the Neitos. Fighting toe-to-toe with the likes of them is never a good idea. Having your Mori Gaesum in phalanx would've kept the Neitos at a distance for a while, giving you the time to get rid of other nuisances and then concentrate solely on the Neitos, throwing spears, rocks, arrows and small children at 'em.
Edit: Just for the sake of it, Helvetti is Finnish and means Hell. [/Pedantic]
