Xie Jun's side had relatively fewer numbers, but the overall level of genetic evolution was higher, with powerful individual combat strength. However, since Xie Jun was the aggressor, his resolve in the duel was not as strong.
This is like on the grassland, where a lion wakes up hungry in the morning and chases the antelopes. The antelopes must run for their lives, while for the lion, even though it tries hard, it's ultimately just for a meal. If one antelope gets away, it can chase another or a different animal altogether.
Thanks to Yang Xiao's "One Finger Splitting Earth" causing massive group damage, the situation between the two sides was pretty much dead even; neither could overpower the other.
Especially Xie Jun's previously proud assault rifle squad got disarrayed by several consecutive "One Finger Splitting Earth" from Yang Xiao, in complete disarray, not even knowing where they dropped their guns.
