If sheer number of men killed in a single go won't cause rout, then the debuff will. Musketeer ashigaru, when firing at troops right in front of them, will simply slaughter whatever is in front, while survivors will be under the debuff effect of firearms to morale.
No Range Like Point-Blank Range is in full effect. The high ranking general is virtually unstoppable killing machine that can't die, unless facing some high-end units. This makes general's bodyguard not only the strongest unit in the game by default, but they are guarding a warrior that can easily put down an army on his own. The game infamously combines general's skill with combat prowess. Taking over the clan's fief from rebels was significantly easier. 
It was possible to wipe out any of the clans by assassinating or killing in battles their heirs and then the daimyo himself, triggering Non-Standard Game Over. The Takeda clan will sometimes start with an heir who has Honour 5-6 in addition to their Daimyo with Honour 6. Kensai with decent Honour/Weapons/Armour can put down whole peasant rebellions, add a few to your uber-general's army and watch them carve everything up, excluding the Heavy Cavalry lead by heirs/Daimyos, Warrior Monks and high level Naginata Cavalry. Even a middling Hojo player could sweep the campaign map before the first European contact. 
They're nearly invincible and can wipe out entire clans if used right.
