Could a Middle Egyptian army defeat a Tang army?

Don't know if I can put this thread in this section, though if it can't be here, just have a mod move it to the corresponding section. A Middle Egyptian army of the time of Senusret III fights a Tang army of the time of Emperor Taizong, both of roughly the same size, in a completely neutral setting (for instance, a completely level steppe field) that doesn't benefit nor hinder either.

If the Middle Egyptian army gets steamrolled, can there be any scenario where an Egyptian army of this period can defeat a Tang army?
 
To add to the above, Egypt in this period had bronze weapons and no chariots. As far as I'm aware, archer chariots weren't part of the Egyptian army until roughly a century after Senusret III. And either way Chinese horses millennia later will be of significantly better stock. Tang armies favored a mix of heavy and archer cavalry.

This is probably a crushing victory for the Tang who have armor, range, and mobility in their advantage.

In other words, the Chinese would have to actively want to lose, and why would they want to do that?
 
Wait, are we even allowed to do this sort of theoretical versus battle (an ASB one at that) on this site, let alone this forum?

I don’t see why not. The Middle Kingdom Egyptians and the Tang Chinese were both imperial powers, but they existed different time periods. In order for them to fight each, would by default require ASB intervention.
 
Tang captain: General! There’s an army of half naked men with bronze spears and no cavalry. They want to fight us!

Egyptian captain: O Pharaoh, reincarnation of Horus, why oh why have you brought us so far from Egypt to die in a remote desert where we cannot reach the underworld?
