The warriors of Lingnan had come to understand that they were on a path of no return.
In such a situation, they had to fight their way out; only then could they secure a chance of survival for their families.
Because of this, their charge was exceptionally fierce.
A large number of warriors, fearing no death, charged directly at the Qin soldiers.
This fearlessness indeed inflicted some damage on the Qin soldiers.
Many soldiers, caught off guard, were struck by those from Lingnan and then fell, poisoned.
While they might not die, their incapacitation at this moment certainly gave the people of Lingnan an opening.
After they fell, the people of Lingnan began to push outward rapidly.
Their primary objective was not to kill, but to break through the encirclement.
Therefore, after gaining a slight advantage, they did not linger in battle but continued to push outward.
However, due to the overwhelming numbers of the Qin army, even with a slight advantage, they had not reached a point where they could simply charge out.
Because of this, their charge became even more ferocious.
"Faster, faster! The Qin army is about to encircle us, we must break out quickly!!"
"Let's go, everyone, hurry, don't stop for anything, this is our last chance!!"
"Kill! We'll fight them with all we've got, it's time for us to risk our lives!!"
These people of Lingnan understood that if they couldn't break out, they would all die here.
For behind them, the Qin army was closing in.
They might have had some ability to resist the army before them, but they had no chance of resistance before the main Qin army arrived.
Therefore, at this moment, they were like cornered beasts making their final struggle.
This final struggle was, naturally, extremely intense.
They used every means of combat, desperately trying to fight their way out.
This desperation also had some effect on the Qin soldiers.
When faced with truly fatal danger, they would still retreat slightly.
Because earlier, Lin Tian had already told them to cherish their own lives.
In such circumstances, they naturally had to value their lives and not expose themselves to unnecessary risks.
Because of this, the people of Lingnan felt a glimmer of hope.
They believed that some Qin soldiers were afraid of death, and this group of fearful soldiers was their opportunity to break out.
Upon realizing this, they hesitated no longer and charged with even greater ferocity.
At the same time, many among them became extremely excited.
"Kill! Charge faster, now is the best time for us to break out!!"
"Warriors, if we can't break out now, we'll be trapped here forever, so we must break out no matter what!!"
"Kill, for our families, everyone fight with all your might!!"
They shouted battle cries, hoping to escape this place quickly through their ferocity.
However, before they could break through the Qin army's encirclement, they discovered that the Qin army was already surrounding them from behind.
Lin Tian had no intention of letting them go easily, so Lin Tian led his army to appear.
His appearance caused panic among the warriors of Lingnan.
They found that many Qin soldiers were charging at them like berserkers.
This ferocity was different from what the people of Lingnan had anticipated.
Because of this, many of them were terrified.
"This is bad, the Qin army is surrounding us, the Qin army is charging!!"
"Quick, everyone, faster, let's escape this place!!"
"Damn it, these Qin people don't intend to let us go, fight, everyone, fight hard!!"
With Lin Tian and his forces appearing, the people of Lingnan were thrown into disarray.
They were terrified that they wouldn't be able to break out and would be completely annihilated by the Qin army.
Fortunately, their numbers were not small, with tens of thousands of warriors.
Although they also had many old, weak, women, and children with them, it had to be said that their combat strength was still formidable.
After they carved out a gap, they hesitated no longer, continuously fighting their way towards that opening.
Their fierce charge was naturally aimed at finding a path to survival for themselves.
However, while this thought was noble, the reality of their struggle was different from what they had imagined.
As they continued to charge, a large number of their warriors were left on the battlefield.
The Qin army was not to be trifled with. Although they were charging outwards with ferocity, this charge had its limits.
The price that needed to be paid had to be paid.
In normal times, these people of Lingnan would not have been willing to suffer such immense casualties.
But now, they could not afford to care.
After all, behind them, the Qin army was in pursuit.
Under such circumstances, any slight hesitation could result in them being captured by the Qin army.
Therefore, they could not concern themselves with anything else but escape.
It was precisely because of this mindset that they paid no heed to their rear and pressed forward relentlessly.
After paying a heavy price, they finally saw the way forward.
Ahead of them, a light appeared, the light that Lin Tian had left for them.
Upon seeing this light, the people of Lingnan became ecstatic.
"There's hope, we have hope, we're about to break out!!"
"Brothers, charge! If we break out, we will live!!"
"Just a little more, just a little more and we can break out, everyone, don't hesitate, charge with me!!"
Seeing the light, the people of Lingnan charged out without a second thought.
However, it was easy for the first person to charge out, but it was not so easy for those behind.
The first to break through was the hope Lin Tian had given them.
Those who followed had to endure the fierce battle of the army to get out.
This battle left many people of Lingnan on the battlefield.
Many clearly saw the hope of escape right before their eyes, yet they were still unable to break through.
In the end, only five thousand people truly managed to break out.
Furthermore, among these five thousand, most were warriors from other tribes.
The losses for Lingnan in this battle were immense.
