After the nighttime offensive and defensive training concluded, Li Rufeng decided to initiate military formation training, which was the key to defeating the enemy and winning on the battlefield. He knew very well that a neat, uniform, and seamlessly coordinated military formation could unleash combat power far exceeding the sum of individual efforts. Therefore, on a sunny day, he summoned the recruits to the spacious parade ground.
Dressed in bright battle armor and holding a command banner, Li Rufeng stood imposingly on the high platform and shouted in a booming voice, "Starting today, we will conduct military formation training! Military formations are the fundamental basis for deciding victory on the battlefield, and not the slightest bit of carelessness is permitted! Give me your utmost alertness and focus!" The recruits all straightened their backs and responded in unison, "Yes!"
Li Rufeng turned his head to look at Chen Wu, an experienced veteran standing beside him, and said, "Chen Wu, take everyone through the Square Formation drills and make sure they master the essentials as quickly as possible." Chen Wu cupped his fists in acknowledgment, turned to face the recruits, and announced loudly, "Listen up, everyone! First, form the simplest square military formation. The front rank holds shields, and the rear rank holds spears. Follow my commands!"
