Realistically, by causing him to either panic or recognize the futility of continued resistance. Most battles, of just about any size, end when one side's position or situation becomes untenable and they withdraw. See the Battle off Samar for a case of a force losing a battle due to loss of operational control despite still having, by just about any objective measure, an overwhelmingly superior force.
