[There's a reason that Ben hasn't left the hospital just yet—just as he's had to pull the pieces of his memories back together, and as his body requires time to heal, his soul has also been fractured in some ways. He can sense the general's feelings, but that's just one small part of his connection to the world's energy.
To put it plainly, Ben hasn't recovered enough to use the Force in the ways he usually could. If his life is truly in danger, it may yet emerge to protect him, but even then he might hesitate. He doesn't want to hurt Armitage, even though the reverse may not be true.
When that blade comes towards him, he reaches a hand out to touch Hux's face, hoping—trusting, though it may be a mistake—that what they have here still means something.]
