Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 179 Chapter 179
After rushing for three days, Yuandang came to ask Mu Yu how he was feeling, and if he should slow down and rest for a while.Mu Yu replied that he felt fine.

Yuan Dang nodded and said, "Girl Mu can endure hardships, but those other businessmen are holding back.

I have repeatedly emphasized not to bring too much cargo. These people still brought quite a lot. They couldn’t go fast enough to keep up with the livestock. They couldn’t go on without a good rest.

I thought about it, we can't just let them go to Bazhou just because they delayed the journey, just now we haven't completely gone out of the border of Bazhou, let's continue on our way. "

Of course Mu Yu wouldn't talk about the family affairs of the Yuan family's caravan. Yuan Dang was doing his best to come over and talk to her, and she didn't need to worry about anything else.

It's just that it stopped for half an hour in the morning and left a few small businessmen, and then stopped suddenly in the afternoon, and this time it could faintly hear the sound of panic.

Mu Yu opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, wondering inwardly, could it be that the group of businessmen who had left before encountered some trouble and found them again?

But this atmosphere is not right.

The faces of the surrounding grooms and guards were blank and a little scared, which was not the case when the group of people left before.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a boy beside Yuan Dang running from the front in a panic.

"What happened?"

The boy looked like he was about to run back, but when he heard her question, he stopped abruptly, saluted hastily, and said in a panic,
"I found a bandit in front, and the head of the house asked me to call someone from the Escort Bureau to discuss..."

Mu Yu originally wanted to ask more questions, but when he heard that this was the case, he couldn't afford to delay, so he immediately said, "Hurry up!"

The boy agreed, and immediately ran to the back of the caravan.

She also became nervous, bandits, this is not a small matter, casualties are easy to occur, and if not done, the whole army will be wiped out.

She has never encountered bandits, but Wang has. She has personally seen the tragedy at that time.

Wang Shi was accompanied by about thirty guards and servants, they were very skilled in martial arts, they only protected Wang Shi and did not escape completely, Wang Shi almost fell to his death, and more than half of the guards were killed or injured.

The Yuan family's caravan consisted of more than 100 people, and the few small businessmen who left in the morning and their entourages and horses could still have about 90 to [-] people.

According to what she saw along the way, out of the 90 people, about 30 to 30 belonged to the Escort, and another [-] to [-] were the guards of the Yuan family, and the remaining [-] to [-] were merchants, servants, coachmen and other war scum.

This situation is not as optimistic as Wang's situation at that time.

Four 50 people are definitely not enough to protect three 40 people. If there is anything to do, casualties are almost inevitable.

She frowned and looked ahead of the caravan.

Five people on horseback beat her and went forward.

She thought for a while, and walked over. She must have walked faster than riding a horse. When she arrived, Yuan Dang was telling a few people.

"Be careful when you go here. If there is no other way, we will divert to Bazhou, so as not to lose too much."

Seeing these ten or so strong men leaving on horseback, Mu Yu asked Yuandang, "How is the situation now?"

Yuan Dang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, panted heavily, sat down on the chair, and said slowly after a while,
"The people at the front found the trail of the bandit and didn't dare to get too close, but there were at least ten horses in the trace.

If there are ten people, it's okay to say that bandits of this scale dare not fight us head-on, and generally don't even have to pay much for passing money.

But ten horses is hard to say, there may be a group of bandits behind it. "

Mu Yu frowned, "Most of us are ox carts and horse carts, we don't carry much weight, and we go fast with all our strength, and we can't catch up by running alone. If they only have ten horses, then it might not be difficult for us to run away..."

Yuan Dang smiled bitterly,

"It's not that simple, bandits and bandits are more familiar with the terrain than us, and will set up ambushes on dangerous and critical roads.

If the terrain is good enough and the ambush is ruthless enough, even a few people can kill a caravan of hundreds of people. This kind of thing is not unheard of. "

makes sense.

Mu Yu walked to the empty seat and sat down, continuing to think about ways to break the situation.

Seeing that she was worried, Yuan Dang comforted her,
"Don't worry, I've considered this before taking this road. There is no such place on this road. Ambush may make us suffer, but it is impossible to destroy us.

Even in the worst case, if something happens to me here, then the bandits will have a hard time. Jinzhou Yuan family will spend a lot of money to wipe out all the bandits here! "

Mu Yu looked at him, how could these words be both positive and negative.

"However, I think there is a high probability that things will not reach this stage.

It is not far from Bazhou, and it is close to the official road to Jinzhou. I have never heard of any large-scale bandits. Most of them are small bandits who have fled.

I have already sent people to Bazhou to ask for help, and it only takes an hour to get to Bazhou quickly, and we can be rescued in two or three hours at most.

We just have to get through this time. "

Mu Yu nodded, Yuandang's coping method was perfect, and she couldn't find a better solution for a while.

The servant brought tea, and Yuandang greeted her to drink tea, and then called someone to give instructions, which was nothing more than to make people prepare for the enemy and calm people's hearts.

The two sat for a while, drank half a pot of tea, and suddenly heard panic shouts and fighting sounds from outside, and their hearts froze. Could it be that the worst happened, and the bandits directly called?
Mu Yu walked out of the tent first, and followed the prestige, and saw four or five guards on horseback and a few people who looked like bandits fighting together.

These people also have horses, but they are obviously not as strong as the horses of the caravan.

In addition to the few guards who joined the fight, there were also a few guards who were on the sidelines, guarding against more bandits, and could rush to help at any time.

Yuan Dang stood aside and watched for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief,

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Seeing so many people rushing over, most of them have no brains, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

But it's more likely that they didn't notice us at all and bumped into us unintentionally. From this point of view, there is probably no serious ambush.

The specific situation will be known after catching these people and interrogating them carefully. "

Mu Yu kept carefully watching the direction of the fight, and then Yuan Dang said,
"It's true that these people are not up to the mark, so there is nothing to be afraid of. They should have just robbed another group of people. It seems that they succeeded."

"Oh? How about this?"

"When the fighting sounds first came, I heard the screams of women mixed in, you look at a few people, their clothes are disheveled, a horse is still wearing a begonia-colored skirt, and there are guards watching The direction, I think they just found out that it was wrong and threw people there..."

"Why didn't I hear the woman's scream?
...You are right, it is indeed a woman's skirt, the water red floating brocade, which is the latest style in the southern capital of Jinzhou...

Hey, you guys go up together and take down these bandits for me! "
