Literal Fulfillment

The language "break in pieces" could be interpreted metaphorically to describe the complete destruction of military power and infrastructure, rather than a precise, physical shattering of every horse, rider, and chariot.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse describes breaking things into pieces, which is a form of dismantling or disarming, not necessarily a complete destruction or perishing in the sense of ceasing to exist.
