I know this is a irl scenario but caravan's don't keep moving when they are under attack and leave their guard behind, because they might be going into a trap where everything will be lost.

edit: also the fact that if it kept moving and took you awhile to kill the attackers then you would have to hunt down where the caravan went to and catch up... so that's why they have them stop so it is at the pace of the player, or party.
Very true as an irl situation. However the not-realistic situation often happens in other movies and games and makes it more exciting.
The cart stopping could get quite difficult though, if the enemies spawned at a constant rate the players would have to fight harder and faster to drive them off and continue, this could be good or bad, depending on how many players are involved...
