Chapter 150: The Princess Heals Late, Barbarian Cavalry Arrives Again
After the transaction, Wei Liangping immediately took people to "recover" the guards along the way.
These 500-plus people cannot be reduced in number.
He followed Wangjiacun but was always worried.
Worried that some barbarian might catch up.
These five hundred guards are the foundation of his livelihood. If his entire family is killed.
No matter how much money you leave behind, it will be useless.
After replenishing their water supply, the guards stood up again and walked back to the caravan.
Wei Liangping looked at the lifeless guard team and felt anxious:
"Everyone, today I, Wei, and a group of key members of the Chamber of Commerce spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy water, just to have a clear conscience."
"I hope you all can live with a clear conscience."
The sound was so loud that it echoed in the ears of all the guards.
After hearing this, the guards widened their eyes:
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, to buy water?"
"How much water do I need to buy? Why don't I see it?"
"You're not saying that the water we almost drank up was bought with 100,000 taels of silver?"
"Hiss... It seems like President Wei really spent a lot of money."
"..."
As everyone discussed, their morale increased significantly.
It's no longer as lifeless as before.
Seeing this, Wei Liangping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting, they had to endure thirst and run forward for hundreds of miles until the sun rose the next day, and then go to the village or county town to replenish water.
......
The words are divided into two parts.
The scouts sent out by Shen Qian were right behind them.
Fifteen kilometers away, a group of people were marching quickly with a large banner bearing the word "late".
When the scout saw this, he had an idea.
The princess...is here with her troops!
"Da da da!"
The scouts rode their horses and quickly rushed towards the big flag with the word "late".
Chi Yu, who was marching quickly, saw a horse galloping towards him.
His brows were furrowed.
He glanced back and confirmed that the big flag with the word "late" was raised high.
In addition, the other party was coming from the direction of Liangdu, and he thought to himself: Could they be soldiers from the nearby county?
Or someone from Liangdu?
Just as I was thinking about it, the other party was approaching.
When he was still dozens of steps away from him, he suddenly slowed down.
By the time it arrived in front of him, the warhorse had already turned around.
shouted loudly:
"Scout Qiu Yun, greetings to the princess!"
After hearing the other party introduce himself, Chi Yu finally reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be the scout that he had given to Sister Shen before.
If I meet him, does that mean I am not far away from that Sister Shen?
Thinking of this, Chi Yu asked Qiu Yun:
"How long have you been here?"
"Two quarters of an hour." Qiu Yun answered truthfully.
Princess Chi Yu thought for a moment after hearing this, and then shouted to the messenger beside her:
"Speed up the march."
"Try to meet up in half an hour."
"Yes!" After hearing the princess's order, the messenger immediately galloped towards the rear.
This elite force was accompanied by a large number of young and strong men, and they also brought enough marching supplies.
It was enough to feed and drink these thousands of people for more than a month and a half.
About half a minute later, Qiu Yun rushed back to report to Shen Qian.
However, the scouts sent by Princess Chi Yu to gather information returned in a hurry.
Turning around, Chi Yu saw his scout whipping the horse hard to speed it up.
Her brow furrowed, and she didn't need to speak until the scouts came closer.
The scout hurriedly reported:
"My Lady, we've spotted a group of barbarian cavalrymen approaching us fifteen miles behind us. They number about five hundred!"
Upon hearing the news, Chi Yu frowned.
In a battle on the plains, her thousands of soldiers were simply unable to stop the charge of the barbarian heavy cavalry.
And the difference between the two is only fifteen miles?
Now that they were stopped there, it would definitely be too late for them to set up camp.
We can only march quickly to Sister Shen's camp and join forces... maybe we will have a better chance of winning against those barbarians?
Otherwise, if they were defeated, Sister Shen would have a hard time stopping so many barbarians.
After thinking about this clearly.
Princess Chi Yu gave the order again:
"All troops, move quickly. The sooner we meet Lord Shen, the higher our chances of defeating those barbarians will be!"
"Yes!" The messenger galloped on his horse again to deliver the message.
The princess riding on the horse in front also quickened the pace of the horse.
But the further she went, the more frightened she became.
The scouts sent out kept passing on the news:
"My Lady, the barbarian cavalry is still twelve miles away from us!"
"Ten miles!"
"Five miles!"
Hearing the distance of the last five miles, Chi Yu's heart beat violently with nervousness, and he even felt a little desperate.
Suddenly, she saw the personal guards following her, and a plan came to her mind.
He ordered:
"Royal Guard Cavalry, go to the rear to harass and intercept them. Be sure to buy us enough time."
Chi Yu waved the command flag in his hand.
The accompanying cavalry guards had no complaints and immediately turned around.
He walked to the back of the team, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and harassed the barbarian cavalry horses.
Their purpose was very simple, just to cause chaos in the barbarian cavalry camp and delay some time.
As for being caught up by the barbarian cavalry?
Just kidding, the barbarians even wear heavy armor on their horses.
How could they possibly catch up with these unarmored light cavalrymen?
A few minutes later, Chi Yu finally saw the merchant's camp behind him and was delighted.
He shouted loudly:
"Notify them to speed up. Lord Shen is ahead. Let's join forces to stop the barbarians!"
......
At the same time, the scouts she sent out had arrived at Wangjia Village where Shen Qian was.
Looking at the round carts and the simple camp built by the other party, I felt a lot more at ease.
At least with this simple camp, even if the enemy is heavily armored cavalry, the danger of storming the camp is much smaller.
"Princess Chi Yu has given the order. The barbarians are chasing us from behind. Lord Shen, please make arrangements to jointly resist the barbarian cavalry." The scouts sent by Chi Yu could not find Shen Qian, so they had to shout loudly.
His movements naturally alarmed the villagers of Wangjia Village and Shen Qian.
"Call him over." Shen Qian gave the order to the scout beside her in a steady tone.
But she also became nervous in her heart.
If the enemy only had a hundred or so heavily armored cavalrymen, I think a county lord wouldn't have to join forces with her own troops to resist.
The number of the other side must be quite large.
Heavy cavalry, if their number exceeds a thousand, even ten thousand infantry will be like paper in front of them.
Maybe I should also slip away first as a sign of respect.
The scouts sent by Chi Yu were quickly "invited" to the front of Shen Qian's carriage.
Before he could speak, Shen Qian asked:
"Barbarian, how many troops do you have?"
"About five hundred." The scout reported truthfully.
After hearing this, Shen Qian was still shocked.
Five hundred is not a small number.
How could they possibly hold the fort with just a few thousand men and no formal barracks? Shen Qian was shocked, her mind racing.
She was surrounded by members of the Wang family. After all the time they had been together, she couldn't just abandon them and live on her own.
"Order the Wang clan to pile all vehicles in front to form three lines of defense."
"At the same time, we will shrink the area of our camp so that there are no vehicles blocking the way on all sides."
"Order all heavily armored infantry to don their armor and prepare for battle."
"Notify the wealthy businessman Wei Liangping to bring his men to join the Wang camp and hand over the command of the guards to me." Shen Qian took a deep breath and conveyed her arrangements to the scout.
