Congratulations on keeping the chariots at Pylos alive. Other "better" players like Lionheartx10 simply "Jon Snow" them, snuffing them out and having to recruit new units thereafter.
Good job, jumping those two little armies was definetly the right choice. About the morale dip: once a unit routs, it will give all other units around it debuffs to morale as they see their allies running away. Having lots of squishy units, like the archers, in a big blob can be very dangerous that way. They'll take lots of damage quickly, morale drops, they run, the debuff kicks in, another squishy unit wavers and runs, now even the melee guys dip down and sooner or later you have a cascade. You got lucky there, I think.
Yeah. Chain routs were Volound's favourite way of dominating Shogun 2 .... back when he was a strong TW player and not put off by Rome 2. Assassinating the generals also helps in tamping the morale of the foe down and winning the field. JayPixl wobbled a bit at Pylos, but surrounding the enemy warlords and whittling them down was the right call. A pity he could not take the rally points in the acropolis proper, they'd have killed the enemy morale even further.
i actually thought that all my units were about to rout but got lucky for sure. Certainly will make sure i have units good for fighting at that stage, sword or axe units rather than bowmen who have run out of missiles.

Super super lucky!
