Chapter 218: Features

Talking about these things like construction and engineering before the wedding, even if you have experience several times, it is really difficult to guarantee that you will not be a little nervous, a little panicked, and a little overwhelmed when the wedding comes.

Under careful preparation, the ceremony of the wedding is so simple. In the early morning of the wedding, Ye Tao put on his battle armor, stepped on the night star who seemed to feel the special atmosphere and was excited, and went to a hunting ground near Ningyuan City, accompanied by many elders and important guests who came to watch the ceremony.

chose the wedding ceremony on the grassland, that is, to choose some rather troublesome items for Ye Tao. According to the rules of the grassland, he needs to hunt a prey on the same day, plus the gifts prepared in advance to send to the woman's home, and then have lunch with the woman's parents to obtain the consent of the woman's parents. After that, he can take the bride with him.

The rite of the steppe is to bring the bride back to her tribe and then introduce the bride to the tribe at the dinner. After the feast, the wedding is over, and the groom can take the bride into the cave room. Due to the different distances between the various tribes of the steppe tribes, both parties can repent before the groom brings the bride back to his own tribe and has a banquet. In fact, it often happens that the groom or bride "trys" the other party and returns the goods because they are not satisfied with each other, and on the grassland, everyone pays more attention to reproduction than chastity. Naturally, this custom will not appear in weddings with political connotations.

When Ye Tao first led the Blood Qi Army to the battle, he once relied on a big stone hammer to crisscross the city in Baishi City, and won the title of "Hammer General" for himself from Sergeant Xiling. Indeed, this is not a majestic title, nor is it comparable to his title of "military general", but at least it shows that Ye Tao can still fight in some aspects.

Ye Taodi's armor is naturally carefully crafted by the Ye Clan's workshop with the most elite technical force. Undoubtedly, the most technologically advanced armor in this space-time. Both in terms of aesthetics and protection. The armor is divided into two layers, the inner and the outside, both of which are stamped by the press as a whole. The inner layer is completely made of tungsten steel, because the color of tungsten steel is dull, it does not look beautiful enough, and it is not suitable for weddings that need to show off. Smooth as a mirror, it is finished with a pine-scented oil specially formulated for this armor. The inner layer of armor is made of a double layer of thick cashmere fabric to keep warm, and in the summer, this layer of cashmere fabric can be removed and replaced with a highly breathable linden fiber fabric. Naturally, with Yip's workshop's extremely sophisticated ergonomic design ideas and rich experience in armor design, there are specially thickened pads in the areas where the skin is easy to wear when wearing armor. All have a natural sponge cushioning layer...... In fact, in this time and space, there is really no artificial sponge.

The overall design of the armor was different from the original cavalry armor infantry armor, and in general, because this armor could be done at a cost. There are two layers of cushioning, and the two layers of stamping make the material thinner, and the weight of the armor is about the same as the weight of the cavalry armor used by the original Blood Qi Army, but the protection is more thoughtful and reliable. As for the decoration of the armor. Although few elements are used, the shoulder blades, chest belt, skirt armor, and calf armor are extremely intricate and intricately carved, and the carved grooves are filled with subtle and gorgeous silver materials, so that the armor presents delicate and warm lines under the light. Since Ye Tao is a commander, he needs good vision and the opportunity to talk to the officers around him and issue orders more than the soldiers and non-commissioned officers who rush to the front line. The helmet does not have the design of being integrated with the visor, but rather the design of the detachable visor. And Ye Taodi's helmet, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like the helmet style of a certain general in the Three Kingdoms game.

In fact, these basic designs still can't show the craftsmanship level of Ye's workshop, and what is even more jaw-dropping is the design of some auxiliary functions of the armor, first of all, the armor is at the back of the waist, there is a uniquely designed interface, and when you don't need it, you can install a piece of armor to cover it, and when you need to use it. Two different devices can be installed. One is a water bladder. A drinking hose can be connected to make it easy to drink water while riding, which is in the same vein as the design of heavy infantry armor. The other device is a heater. The metal piece that was wanted to be connected to this interface protruded a total of sixteen copper pipes between the two layers of armor, that is, heat pipes that would be widely used to dissipate heat in computer CPUs for a long, long time, carrying heat to all parts of the body, making the entire armor slightly warmer. This unique design, combined with the cashmere compartment inside the armor and the cloak on the outside of the armor, will make it possible to survive even the harsh winters in the more northern. On this cold and missionary morning, this unique design can also ensure that Ye Tao will not tremble and shoot arrows......

Of course, Ye Tao will not tremble, but it does not mean that his archery skills are good. From the moment he began to know the rituals of weddings, he tried to improve his archery skills in a short period of time with a lot of training, especially mounted archery. But after all, he was a strategic envoy of Yunzhou, and he really couldn't spare so much time to do this kind of training, so he had to give up in the end.

"Virtuous nephew, it's up to you now." Even Dai Shiheng made a special trip from Ningyuan to see how this Ye Jingluo dealt with those cunning guys in the hunting ground.

Naturally, everyone knew Ye Tao well, and the many friends of the Blood Qi Army present, even Chi Yun and Chi Lei, as well as almost the entire Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion's senior officials and senior staff, were all present to appreciate Ye Tao's heroic appearance in obtaining prey. In fact, everyone knew it and tacitly came with a respectful expression, but they did not hide the purpose of coming to see Ye Tao's joke. And Ye Tao could only shrug his shoulders about this. This is not bad, put it until the original meeting, and the hole room will be endless, even if it is compared to the cumbersome etiquette when he and Tan Weixin got married, he almost made himself ugly, today's wedding is really simple and clear. And the protagonist of the wedding, in Ye Tao's impression, seems to be originally entertaining everyone.

The Blood Qi Army and Tie Yun Cavalry did not really let Ye Taoce run all over the hunting ground, but surrounded the entire hunting ground from the beginning, constantly squeezing the space of those prey in the middle of the hunting ground from the two wings to the middle. Finally, they converged into a V-shape in the middle of the hunting ground, driving a large pile of prey to a corner of the hunting ground. In the corner of the hunting ground, a group of centaurs had already formed a formation, helping to gather the prey in a triangular space, leaving only a gap in the middle. The first prey that ran out of this gap, or the first prey that could be shot by Ye Tao, would become a gift that Ye Tao brought into Ning Yuancheng and dedicated to Dai Shikui.

In this hunting ground where woodland and plain meadows are mixed. There are really a lot of interesting creatures, and among the prey that has been driven out, there are naturally relatively gentle animals such as deer, dwarf wild horses, and wild asses, but there are also fierce beasts such as wolves and jackals, and even, due to the search and driving tactical actions of the Iron Cloud Rider and the Blood Qiqi Army, which are really well executed and thorough, there is also a bear inside. Which one will run out of that gap first, everyone knows the bottom. And according to the customs of Yunzhou. Today, only Ye Tao can shoot the first arrow...... Everyone couldn't help but be a little worried, what would happen if the bear ran out.

It's not getting that bad, but it's not much better. Be the first to notice the shouting. Running back and forth, the cavalry deliberately left a gap in their mouths and noses, a wolf that was extremely sensitive to all kinds of threats, and a wolf with more than a dozen subordinates.

In this head is slender. The moment the well-built head wolf burst out of the gap, he had been standing majestically in the cold wind for a long time, and the hooves of the night star, which was pleasantly meeting the eyes of the people around him, moved slightly. And Ye Tao also shot the first arrow after an instant, and the arrow missed......

As if he had foreseen the route of the arrow, the wolf took a daze, and moved two positions to the side, although it lost some speed, it made Ye Tao's arrow fall between a patch of long grass.

Ye Tao secretly screamed badly. He hadn't expected such a tricky thing to happen today. Originally, he thought that even if the sergeants who helped drive away the prey did not release the water, they would not embarrass themselves too much, and it was estimated that they would just let a dwarf wild horse or wild ass come over, and let themselves shoot a few arrows to show their ugliness. Unexpectedly, the sergeant who drove the prey and Ye Tao were not too well prepared.

The head wolf was followed by three wolves, and the rest of the small wolf pack had been firmly guarded on the other side by the sergeants who had quickly closed the gap. The head wolf was already lagging behind the other members of the pack because of his stagnant body just now, and the two wolves had already pounced on one left and one right when there was no room for action. Ye Tao held the bow in his left hand and slashed at the head of the wolf that pounced on his left. And the famous horse Night Star under the crotch also reacted in time. Nightstar is very impatient to have such a guy who does not have long eyes to challenge himself, and automatically consciously half-turns. A hoof kicked the wolf on the head, and the poor wolf flew upside down at once. Although the wolf that pounced on Ye Tao did not let Ye Tao hit him solidly, he was hit so his stomach and landed on the grass on the other side.

Ye Tao had already circled the horse's body at this time, set up an arrow on the bow, and nailed the wolf that had just landed to the ground with an arrow. Although his archery skills are indeed very problematic, this problem is also relative, at such a close distance, it is a fixed target, and if he misses it, there will be ghosts. The wolf immediately let out a terrible wail.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Ye Tao's quick reaction in this instant also made everyone around him secretly applaud. Or because of customs, everyone can't make a move at this time, but almost all of them with weapons around are ready, especially the guards composed of warriors from Ye Tao's clan, everyone is skilled in bows and horses, everyone draws their bows and puts on arrows, once Ye Tao is in any danger, it is conceivable that everyone will not care too much about customs.

Ye Tao's reaction was faster than everyone expected. The bow he used was also specially made, and the fixed pulleys were installed at both ends to make the bowstring roll faster, so that the bow with not strong pull force could make the initial velocity of the arrow faster, although this kind of speed was at the expense of power, but this kind of bow that was only used on this special occasion and was only used for training accuracy gave Ye Tao a more adequate opportunity to react. It was precisely because the pull of this bow was relatively weak that Ye Tao quickly buckled another arrow and turned around and shot towards the head wolf who had already opened its bloody mouth towards Night Star's ass.

The head wolf actually writhed his body in mid-air and fell to the side, landing on the grass and rolling several times before retracting his momentum. Although Ye Tao's arrow missed again, it also made the wolf's attempt to approach the attack fail. And the last wolf also flew out under the hooves of the night star, which seemed to be very unhappy now.

Now that the head wolf is left, Ye Tao's archery proficiency is naturally unable to shoot in a row, he only reluctantly shoots an arrow before the head wolf jumps up. At this time, the head wolf was still curled up on the ground and did not have time to get up, although the head wolf shook his body, it was still difficult to avoid the arrow inserting into its back. But the head wolf just whimpered lightly, then stood up and pounced towards Ye Tao.

Ye Tao knew that it was too late to shoot arrows, so he quickly pulled out the cavalry sword inserted in the buckle in the saddle. The moment he pulled out the cavalry sword, the night star under his crotch raised his hooves and rushed towards the head wolf, and the sword that Ye Tao leaned down and stabbed towards the head wolf became a relatively standard cavalry-to-infantry stabbing action.

"Good!" Among the people watching this scene from the sidelines, some people couldn't help but cry out. Indeed, this small wolf pack is not strong, and this wolf is not the wolf king who can intimidate the grassland, at most it is only a relatively strong wolf that has always been relatively strong. However, Ye Tao is not a well-known heroic character, but a young court official who is known for his skills who is waiting to see jokes today.

And when the cavalry sword in Ye Tao's hand flickered, pulling a long wound on the back of the head wolf, Ye Tao almost subconsciously showed that all the equipment on his saddle was very useful, and he casually pulled out a new version of the quick-fire rapid-fire folding hand crossbow, and shot an arrow at the back of the head of the head wolf...... This is too distinctive, the cavalry of the Blood Qi Army and the Tieyun Cavalry looked at each other, where is this here to hunt, this is simply demonstrating that these well-equipped cavalry have a complete set of combat methods from Yuan to Near.
