After a series of exciting and joyful training sessions, Li Rufeng decided to try something new by organizing a mixed offensive and defensive combat drill combining veterans and recruits. With the veterans' rich experience and the recruits' boundless energy, this showdown was destined to be full of comedic moments.
On the day of the training, the sun was shining brightly and flags fluttered across the parade ground. Standing on the reviewing platform, Li Rufeng announced loudly, "Today, veterans will lead the recruits, dividing into attacking and defending teams. Veterans, make sure to pass on your experience and guide the newcomers. Recruits, don't be stage-frightened—show us what you're made of! Do you all understand?" The soldiers shouted back in unison, "Understood!"
The defensive side was led by the experienced veteran Zhang Meng. Looking at the group of recruits around him, he patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Stick with me, and we'll make this fortress as solid as a rock. As for you recruits, learn as much as you can and ask whatever you don't understand." The recruit Liu Erlengzi hurriedly nodded. "Brother Meng, don't you worry. We will definitely learn properly. But how exactly should we defend this place?" Zhang Meng smiled and pointed around the city walls. "First, let's inspect all the defensive equipment. Get the rolling logs and stones ready. As soon as the attacking force gets close, we'll give them a taste of our power."
