And remember, even in most fantasy, a hero rarely manages to alter the outcome of a battle by killing a ton of enemies in pitched combat. Usually they use some sort of magic, use the terrain, (say, triggering a rockslide) or take out an enemy commander, usually the last of the three. Rarely do you get a hero that can stand up to even ten enemies on his own. I'll also point out that these heroes are also rarely targetted by hostile magic and that, when they are, it's frequently a struggle to survive.
This is not always true. In many fantasy, heroes do take on and triumph over literally hundreds of men.

In fact, such is the case in even quasi-historical fantasies in the Far East: e.g. The Three Kingdoms novel.
