It's also actually pretty hard to behead a human, especially a strong man like Pyrrhus was. Experienced executioner Sanson even wrote entire essay about partially that when he was arguing France should adopt guillotine, and i would assume it was even harder in condition of urban battle than in scenes of execution (though the weapon used was most likely machaira typically used by Greek soldiers back in the day, and it was heavy sword for cutting so it helped).
