Gao Yang's hopes were shattered, but the outcome was definitely not what the enemy wanted to see.
Anyway, they couldn't run away, whether it was one thousand meters or ten thousand meters from the village, it all meant the same thing. Running further would only waste more energy. Since it was a desperate situation anyway, they might as well go all out.
It was a battle with their backs to the wall, a to-the-death struggle; they were ambushed from all sides. For Gao Yang and the others, it was all or nothing, might as well grapple with the enemy to the end.
There's an idiom that perfectly describes Satan's current situation, which is "a cornered beast will still fight." When it really comes to the last fight, the outcome is still uncertain.
