**** happens, especially when random numbers are involved.

If your moral was low then even a few losses can make them run. Also tier 2/3 is the same as most bandits, so you need to help troops out if you're even or outnumbered. Even just running behind the bandits and getting some of them to turn around to split them up on approach is a big help. And if it's forest bandits, they will just shoot everyone to death.

Bandits are tiers 2, 3, and 4. Example -- Sea raider is T2, Sea Raider Warrior is T3, and Sea Raider Chief is T4.
You didn't just have a morale issue. Your T2 and T3 Aserians were outclassed.
They were regular level 1 bandits .... Read.
Looters?

Oh, you mean Looters. There's a big difference. Learn it.
And you read this -- If you can't handle Looters, you need to maybe find an easier game.
I bet his 23 T2-T3 soldiers maybe just got swarmed, some of them possible died from stones before they even could fight back.
If his soldiers would have some working armor though...
It´s not impossible to lose against looters if they outnumber you early game. It doesn´t make sense to me but that´s the way it is since release.

Bit unlucky really, I never really seem to have this problem - in part because my morale is always high! Just ensure you keep a check on the morale and be careful going into battles if it is too low.
Unfortunately, this game isn't Warband. Armor doesn't work and T2/T3 units will pretty much trade evenly with looters. Thus, if your troops are outnumbered 3:2 -especially in smaller scale engagements, be prepared to watch your guys lose quite badly.
It sucks, but Bannerlord is pretty much just a logistics and numbers simulator, not the visceral personalized experience its predecessor was.

It is sad. The game could become even more elaborate than its predecessor with mods. This game would conquer the world of games on this subject. And we got a recourse.

Jokes on you. I remember in my current Ironman playthrough my 12 T2/3 units went against 10 looters. 5 looters came after me afterwards.
Bannerlord is slightly different game. You can legit get full army of T3/4 units by just going around villages. In Warband you had to lvl them from recruit unless you had high relationship with villages. So yeah it's faster to get and loose troops and T7 units are really packing a punch. However melee infantry ... and cavalry ... Well. Just stick to Fian champs, they are only viable high tier unit.
Have you tried the RBM yet?
Realistic Battle Mod
This mod makes combat more realistic and improves AI. Armor and damage is reworked according to experimental data and physics. Units try to survive. AI uses proper formations and new custom culturally

Bannerlord: F1+F1 ranged spam afk-while-I-go-make-coffee simulator (pretty much less interactive than a mobile game)
Warband: Actual riveting gameplay

F1 > F3 with your cavalry. Win literally every encounter on open/forest/w.e map.
This isn't the Warband which enemy either stood on a hill or advanced towards you in a long straight single line, is it?
Yes! It's actually the very same Warband! You know, the Warband in which armor worked correctly, where there was a tangible difference between troop tiers, and unit power scaling followed a logical progression. That very same Warband which also offered a variety of fun immersive features like feasts, belligerent drunks, hired assassins, late night bandit town/village ambushes, and unique companions with distinct personalities.
It doesn't matter if the formations AI is slightly more "nuanced" if the core gameplay is hollow and lacking in depth.
