All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 997

The bearing part of the marching carriage is cast with fine iron, the material is strong, and it has a good shock absorption effect. The two horses and four wheels also greatly improve the buffering of the driving, and can take into account a certain degree of stability and safety at high speeds.

The teak carriage has fine wood and high hardness, so it is exposed to the sun and rain, cold in winter and hot in summer.

The hard parts of the walls of the carriage were covered with sheepskins.

Sheepskin has two layers of wool. The outer skin is relatively rough and can withstand the sun and rain, but the inner layer of fluff is soft, elastic, firm and durable, which can play a certain role in shock absorption and avoid bumps and bumps.

A fixed seat is placed in the carriage to firmly fix the person on the seat to reduce the impact and bumps caused by the speedy carriage of the carriage.

There is also a fixed couch with a fence for resting.

It is already in every aspect and everything.

But Yu Youyao was still shaken, dizzy and groggy.

Chun Xiao didn’t feel that the carriage was bumpy. Seeing that the young lady was really uncomfortable, she quickly lifted the young lady to the couch, made her lean on him, took the water bag, and fed the young lady some water.

Xia Tao felt distressed for Miss, and lifted the curtain of the car to look out: “It’s been over two hours, why doesn’t the carriage stop to rest? After a while, it’s lunch time, we can’t let us, ourselves. Let’s settle it in the car, when has the lady ever eaten such a crime?”

After adding spirit dew to the water and drinking some water, Yu Youyao became more energetic: “On the way of the march, how to go and when to rest, His Highness has his own arrangements, we just follow orders and act. There is a saying that military orders are like mountains,” said Here, her tone was a little more serious: “You can arrive in Jinzhou in five days at most, and you can get there after just forbearance. Don’t cause trouble.”

In the last four words, she deliberately accentuated a tone, revealing a little warning, even a warning.

During the march, the most taboo is to miss the military aircraft. Some trivial things can often lead to terrible consequences. They don’t understand war, and they just need to be honest and obedient.

Bringing Xia Tao is because Xia Tao is smart and will have things to do. When she arrives in the army, it can help her adapt to life in the army as soon as possible. This is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

Obedience in the military is the first rule.

The young lady didn’t complain about her own suffering. She was a maid and felt distressed. She didn’t have the right to complain. Xia Tao immediately lowered her head: “Miss, this servant knows.”

Yu You put down his voice: “Ordinary people only eat two meals a day, usually around 9-10am in the morning and around 16-17pm in the afternoon. The army is also making arrangements like this, so the army will not stop. , give us lunch time, some cooked food is prepared in the carriage, after a while, the marching speed will slow down, we will use some to cushion our stomachs first.”

Eating three meals a day is a treat only for dignitaries.

Even soldiers who are marching and fighting have only two meals a day.

Xia Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject: “Miss, how do you know that after a while, the marching speed will slow down?”

Yu Youyao said: “The army walked for two and a half hours. During this period, the marching speed was not constant. The army maintained a high speed for one and a half hours, and for the next half hour, the army was in a state of slow deceleration, waiting for the speed. If it is reduced to a certain extent, the speed of the army will definitely slow down.”

Xia Tao was confused, why didn’t she feel that the marching speed had slowed down?

Chunxiao didn’t quite understand, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Why is this?”

Yu Youyao didn’t understand it very well, but he also had some guesses in his heart: “I think it should be, in order to maintain the marching speed without delaying the journey, and also to preserve the physical strength of the soldiers during the march to deal with some emergencies, after all, the battlefield The world is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that the army will have smooth sailing on the march and retain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers at any time, which is very important.”

Travelling for a long time is a fast-fast-slow marching pattern that no one can bear. During the march, physical recovery is also taken into account.

Xia Tao suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that the carriage really slowed down: “How long will this slow march last?”

“I guess it’s about half an hour.” Yu Youyao was a little uncertain. During the slow march, the soldiers could drink water, eat some dry food, help their physical recovery, and allow them to leave the team and solve some private matters.

At this time, Yin Huaixi’s voice sounded outside the door: “Next, the army will keep marching slowly for half an hour. You can take advantage of this time to eat something, solve some personal affairs, or go outside the carriage to get some air. Camp will be set up before dark.”

Xia Tao’s eyes widened, the young lady was very simple.

At this time, Yu Youyao opened the car window and pulled the curtain.

Four eyes facing each other.

Yin Huaixi sat on a black-headed horse with a thin head and a high neck, long limbs, and a purplish red mane on his forehead, like a burning flame.

A handsome cold-blooded horse.

And the man riding on it is even more heroic and handsome.

Yu Youyao, who was sitting in the carriage, had long hair tucked into a turban, and silver-gray fine mink hair wrapped around her neck, making her face more delicate and small, with a transparent paleness that made her look very fragile.

Yin Huaixi almost regretted it, and promised to take her to Jinzhou: “The road ahead is relatively flat, and the carriage is bumpy and stuffy. Do you want to come down and ride?”

Yu Youyao’s eyes lit up: “Is it okay?”

Yin Huaixi nodded: “It’s natural to march slowly.”

Yu Youyao hurriedly leaned forward, opened the car door, lifted the curtain, and bent over to get out of the carriage, she heard Yin Huaixi blowing a whistle, and after a while, she saw a snow-white and handsome horse rushing over.

“It’s Snow Mountain,” Yu Youyao was excited: “Why did you bring Snow Mountain?”

When Xueshan was still in Liancheng, Yin Huaixi gave her a very noble Xueshan horse. Yin Huaixi asked her to name it. She felt that Xueshan was white and handsome, so she named Xueshan directly.

It’s just that Yu Youyao usually stays in the house and doesn’t ride much.

“Guess you might have a chance to ride it on the road, so I brought it along.” Seeing Xueshan rushing to the side of the carriage, Yin Huaixi turned over and dismounted, and helped Yu Youyao get off the carriage.

Yu Youyao stepped on the stirrup with one foot, gripped the saddle tightly, and with a firm foot, turned over the horse cleanly and neatly.

For the convenience of traveling, she wore a narrow-sleeved beard dress, a pair of sheepskin boots, a drape over her shoulders, and a wind-shielding squirrel mink fur waist-length cloak, which was quite heroic.

Although Yu Youyao was raised in a boudoir, she was not comparable to ordinary women in terms of knowledge and vision. Every move was solemn and polite, and her manners were natural, but she was also open and open.
