Prior to WWI, routes were the most common way people died on battlefields. It wasn’t during charges into muskets and cannons. It was when one side panicked and literally got stabbed in the back as they tried to run away.
People really don’t like dying and will avoid doing dangerous things that potentially get them killed. But when the panic sets in, they stop thinking and are in pure survival mode. This results in complete disorganization where an organized opponent has an opportunity to do as much damage as possible.
