These runaway slaves were still wondering if it was so difficult to find a way to live.
However, they did not know that they had already been targeted at this moment.
"Those people, they look like runaway slaves!!"
"I can see that too, they seem to be lurking around us!!"
"I've also heard that in other places, there are runaway slaves, and these slaves will instigate others to join them and resist!!"
"Then should we... deal with them directly??"
Upon hearing these words, the Qin soldiers immediately nodded.
Although they didn't know where these slaves came from, they wouldn't show mercy to those who wanted to resist.
Because of this, while these people were still lingering in the vicinity, the Qin army had already found them.
Not only that, but they had quickly surrounded them.
These slaves did not realize this situation at first.
After fleeing for so many days, they had long lost the combat capabilities and vigilance that a regular army should have.
Therefore, they had no idea that someone was rapidly approaching them.
And by the time they realized it, it was already too late.
At this moment, the Qin army had already surrounded them.
At the same time, the flags of the Qin army had already appeared before them.
The appearance of the flags was undoubtedly a terrifying thing for these slaves.
When they saw the flags of Qin, they immediately understood that something was terribly wrong.
"Not good, the Qin army has discovered us, and they are surrounding us!!"
"Damn it, how can these Qin soldiers be so powerful? Why did they surround us so quickly!!"
"These people must have received the news, and they want to eliminate us completely. This time, we are truly finished!!"
Such panicked shouts echoed incessantly.
These runaway slaves truly felt despair.
After all, they had lost too many people on their journey.
They had also witnessed too much terror from the Qin army.
Under such circumstances, they had no courage to fight against the Qin army.
Even before the Qin army appeared before them, they had already collapsed.
Some of them even collapsed and cried.
"Wuwuwu! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Ah! I don't want to die either, I don't want to die!"
"What should we do? What should we do now? The Qin army has surrounded us, and we have no way to live!"
Seeing the Qin army surrounding them, they had no idea how to survive.
In their hearts, they had reached the depths of despair.
Even if they held weapons in their hands, they did not have the courage to raise them in resistance.
Even their leader's face was extremely grim.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, they had no other choice but to fight to the death.
But now, they had to seriously consider the question, was fighting to the death really useful?
Although this question was not asked, many of them already had the answer in their hearts.
They knew that even if they had the resolve to fight to the death, they would all still die.
In fact, not a single one of them would survive.
Under such circumstances, choosing to fight to the death was clearly not a wise option.
The wisest choice, however, was to escape from here.
If they did that, perhaps there would still be a chance to live.
So, their leader hesitated for only a moment, and then issued his command.
"No, we cannot fight them head-on. We must escape, we must flee from here!"
"Escape? Where can we escape to? You know this is all within Qin territory. If we escape to other places, we might still encounter the Qin army!!"
"There's no other way, we must escape. Even if we have to escape into the deep mountains and old forests, we will not hesitate, because only by escaping can we survive!"
Hearing these words, the slaves were filled with immense despair.
However, they also knew that what their leader said was correct.
Although living like that would be very miserable, at least they could live.
Compared to death, they preferred to live.
With this thought in mind, they did not hesitate and began to charge towards a direction, desperately trying to escape.
The Qin soldiers quickly discovered their attempt to escape.
They had originally thought that these slaves would fight them to the death.
To their surprise, these slaves did not even face them and simply started running.
They truly looked down on such slaves.
"These slaves are truly pathetic, they don't even have the courage to face us and just start running!"
"These people are indeed very weak, but I have to admit, their choice is wise!"
"No matter what choice they make, they will die. They have nowhere to escape!"
"Chase, let's chase them!"
Upon hearing the call to chase, the Qin soldiers did not hesitate and immediately pursued the fleeing slaves.
Such a pursuit was undoubtedly fatal for those slaves.
Feeling the pursuit of the Qin army, they seemed even more stimulated.
"No, don't chase me, I don't want to die!"
"Ah! Everyone, run quickly, the Qin army is catching up, they are catching up!"
"Damn it, they really don't want us to live. Everyone, speed up. We will definitely be able to escape from here!"
As the Qin army's pursuit quickened, they lost even more of their will to resist.
At this moment, all they wanted was to escape from here.
With this thought in mind, their escape became even faster.
This escape naturally caused some trouble for the Qin soldiers.
However, the Qin army had something different from them.
That was, the Qin army had warhorses.
So, as they fled, the warhorses rapidly pursued them from behind.
This pursuit was undoubtedly desperate for these people.
Looking at the approaching warhorses, many of them even closed their eyes in despair.
Their speed on foot was not slow, but the gap between their speed and that of the warhorses was too great.
Some of them even felt that the Qin warhorses had already appeared behind them.
The next moment, the Qin soldiers raised their swords high and brought them down heavily.
In an instant, many runaway slaves were cut down on the spot.
