Yeah, just run. The XP/MST from winning the battle is absolutely not worth the risk of being completely annihilated. Techs like SaShu and Deban would probably help by buffing your defense but you won't be getting those for quite a while yet.

Protip: Much later on enemy groups will radically change and you'll be fighting mechanical enemies who will sometimes have high defense, regular melee attacks will do pitiful damage. That's when you start to rely on your gun-wielders (guns ignore defense and do set damage), mages and tech-casting equipment to see you through (you'll start finding those once you're exploring the dams).
