The likely outcome of charging forward is either being hit by an arrow or transitioning into close combat where a long spear offers a decisive advantage. Even retreating only prolongs the life that is constantly slipping away, and the relentless pursuers will not let go of this excellent opportunity, and hesitation will only lead to being surrounded.

Just as her tail feathers were about to brush against her opponent, she was scared off by the pursuing aim, and the sparks that fell did not ignite the wooden objects on their bodies.
