Probably a DC based on X+the current Attack/Defense value. So the higher their value the harder it is for the PC's to affect them. I was also considering adding in a morale check, say a DC 10 and they roll a d20+(Lower of Attack or Defense) once one of those numbers hit negatives. And then PC's could boost that with Bluff, Intimidate, Diplomacy checks. If the unit routs the PC's would have one chance to recover them at a higher DC and if not then the unit is 'destroyed'. If they do recover then probably go back in action at half A/D. Routed units tend to rout again after all. That kind of thing is what I was thinking about. Also do remember this is just an initial "How could I do this?" kind of idea, it might completely suck in practice.
