You’ve got to be kidding when you ask this question, right?

Again, the context of the invasion following the Exodus was that God would
drive out the previous peoples little by little, over several generations,
not all at once (c.f. Exodus 23:30, Deuteronomy 7:22). Therefore the
suggestion that Joshua would lead the fight to finish the occupation is
nonsense.
