More generally applicable, perhaps, is that (unless set by the map file...) these devils are units, not commanders. Kill all the leaders first with assassins or spells (and indies never have protective domes, and most types aren't astrally proficient) and the devils will rout instantly since indies won't have province-defense commanders to help.

... and you will lose the possibility to get a soul contract for yourself. Getting them with Staff of Storms is definitely a better idea.
