As for Meng Dashan, a man with a coarse exterior but meticulous within, he called over twelve captains and likewise gave instructions. Xiao Tian and other captains, energized, accepted their orders and returned to their positions to command their subordinates in forming up.
Jiang Shaohua surveyed the scene and spoke clearly, her melodious voice reaching everyone's ears: "Today's military exercise will be conducted by the beat of the war drum. After the first drum begins, after the second drum sounds, all must stop. During military exercises, you will defeat your opponents but must not maliciously harm anyone."
Saying this, she personally beat the drum.
Thud, thud, thud!
