In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

"Do as the lord says and fully cooperate with his orders." Liu Sheng shouted loudly to the soldiers and merchants' guards.

But the soldiers and guards were obviously frightened.

If you encounter cavalry on the plains, especially the barbarian heavily armored cavalry, you have no chance of winning at all!

Seeing that they moved slowly, Liu Sheng frowned.

Just about to yell.

Then a cold but elegant voice came from the sedan chair:

"Those who died in battle will receive a compensation of 100 taels and be sent home."

"Thirty taels for the disabled!"

"Kill a barbarian, fifteen taels!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Now even staying alive has become a luxury, so Shen Qian naturally has to set a high price. This is different from running a company in later generations. When a company faces financial difficulties, it may first think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. This is a battlefield, and a little more fighting spirit may very well affect the final result.

Besides, don’t we still have Mr. Liu and those wealthy businessmen?

At that time, they will naturally have to pay for the compensation of their soldiers and guards themselves.

"Your Excellency is merciful!" A guard couldn't help but praise Shen Qian after hearing the high reward she offered.

He even took the lead and walked to the front, using his body to block the heavy armored infantry.

He could even foresee that he would surely die if he went to this station!

But he decided to stand here anyway.

Just for the one hundred taels of silver that Shen Qian promised.

With this money, perhaps his family will have a chance to survive this winter.

Since leaving their hometown in Beiyang County, they have been missing their families all the time and want to go back to see their parents, wives and children at any time.

If parents, wives and children were among those fleeing famine, they might also be as thin as those unrecognizable people, and look like unrecognizable people.

When thinking about this, no filial person would feel good.

"I hope you can find my family and give them the compensation." Another loud shout was heard, and the second person stepped forward and walked in front of the heavy armored infantry.

Shen Qian listened and agreed:

"The Shen family will definitely not let you down for protecting their lives."

With her guarantee, thirty or forty people were stacked in front of the heavy armored infantry, covering the heavy armored infantry tightly.

The morale of the more than 300 people was high.

The same goes for the heavily armored infantry brought by Shen Qian.

Stand at the back of the team and prepare to face the enemy.

Old Mrs. Lin and her family had been following from a distance before.

I don’t know what’s happening in Wangjia Village.

He didn't even know that there were barbarians chasing him.

At this moment, approaching the white corn outside Wangjia Village, Old Lady Lin looked confused and asked her son who was already exhausted:

"Why are they resting like this today?"

In response to his mother's question, Lin Ze frowned and looked towards Wangjia Village.

He was very observant and saw the soldiers and officers at the edge at a glance.

From their wary looks, Lin Ze sensed a crisis!

"Mom, come over here quickly!" Lin Ze shouted, picked up one of his nephews, and moved towards Shen Qian and her group.

Although Old Mrs. Lin didn't understand why Lin Ze was so anxious, she didn't slow down.

Then he picked up another grandson and followed Lin Ze.

Only her second daughter-in-law was left there, pushing the cart and chasing after him.

Halfway through the run, Lin Ze felt the ground behind him shaking.

cavalry!

There are cavalry approaching! Lin Ze was terrified.

He had read books, and even though he had never seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine the sound of thousands of horses galloping behind him from the expressions of the soldiers who were ready for battle.

The enemy that could make Shen Qian and her group show such vigilance must be a barbarian.

"Mom, hurry up, run faster!" Lin Ze turned his head and glanced at Old Lady Lin. He found that Old Lady Lin was already standing with her hands on her hips, moving towards him with steps as heavy as lead. He immediately became impatient.

He put his little nephew down and went to pull his mother, Old Lady Lin.

As for his sister-in-law at the back, he couldn't take care of her!

I didn't even expect it.

Because there were no villagers from Wangjia Village in front of them, only soldiers and guards, naturally no one cursed or drove them away.

As they rushed to the soldiers, they ran directly to the side.

He went straight under the carts and ox carts that the people of Wangjia Village had piled up.

After hiding inside.

Only then did Mrs. Lin react.

He suddenly turned his head back.

They discovered that the second son’s wife was actually some distance away from them.

But she saw a group of dark shadows approaching her rapidly.

In a hurry, Mrs. Lin shouted:

"The second one's!"

"Leave the cart behind and come straight over here!"

"Run faster!"

Because the soldiers and guards were very nervous and did not make any sound, her voice could still be heard dozens of meters away.

Hearing the sound, the woman's tears rolled down her cheeks.

But he continued to push the cart with great strength and rushed towards them.

This is all the family property.

If it was destroyed, even if their family survived this time, they would die of thirst and starvation in the near future.

With her last bit of strength, she finally pushed the cart to her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and crawled limply under the cart.

The three of them gathered together, gasping for breath.

not far away.

When the barbarians saw that the other party had stopped to wait for them, the leader burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"An unexpected gain from tracking the scouts!"

"These Liang people didn't even disperse and flee, but gathered together to wait for us to wipe them out. How foolish!"

"Kill them all!"

"Roar!" the leader finished speaking.

The barbarian cavalry suddenly let out a roar like wild beasts.

At the front, the leader of the charge repeated the same behavior he used to deal with the scouts. He ran quickly and shot arrows with his bow!

With a "whoosh!" an arrow flew out of his hand.

Rushing towards the crowd ahead.

'puff! '

The arrow hit the chest of the person in front accurately.

He looked up in disbelief and knelt on the ground with weak legs.

One hand grabbed the arrow and pretended to pull it out.

But...an arrow is stuck in the heart.

He couldn't exert any strength at all.

The brain also loses consciousness in a very short time.

Only a pair of unwilling eyes stared straight ahead.

"Kill all these two-legged sheep!" The barbarian leader who successfully shot and killed one person became even more excited. He swung the two knives in his hands, which made the barbarians behind him more powerful.

On the contrary, when the soldiers on Shen Qian's side saw that a soldier in the front was shot dead without even touching their face, tension and panic quickly spread.

If it weren't for Shen Qian's high reward, I'm afraid I would have been afraid to fight.

"Line up and retreat to the left and right!" A loud shout came from the mouth of a heavily armored infantryman in the middle of the team.

In an instant, the soldier standing in front of them was stunned for a moment.

By the time they came to their senses and tried to move their bodies, the barbarian cavalry had already arrived in front of them.

Some of them didn't even have time to swing their weapons at the barbarians before their heads were easily chopped off by the scimitars in their hands!

The horrifying bloody smell instantly spread throughout the camp.
