Flags were flying on the open ground. The students were wearing clothes of the same color, holding wooden swords in their hands, with serious expressions, just like two armies facing each other.
The dean and the other teachers stood on the high platform, their expressions were solemn.
"Dear students, this drill will be counted towards the final exam. During the drill, you must pay attention to safety when entering the forest and stop at the designated time. Those who violate the rules will bear the consequences and will be forced to leave the drill immediately. Do you understand?"
"clear!""
"This exercise will last for two days and one night. You cannot lose the territory behind you. If you can seize the opponent's territory, you will win. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
"Okay, let the drill begin!"
At the headmaster's command, the horn sounded.
Both parties entered the forest and arrived at the designated location.
Cheng Jiuyuan is the deputy general of their team, and the main general is a male student named Su Nan.
Several people were gathered together discussing how to fight this battle.
Su Nan used a branch to draw the positions of both sides on the ground: "I suggest that we first figure out the terrain during the day, figure out where we can set up an ambush, gather our strength, and launch a surprise attack at night."
"Maybe the other party thinks so too and is waiting for us to fall into the trap. Besides, we can't even see the road at night. Do you think we can get any benefit?" Cheng Jiuyuan said.
She could see at night, but what about others?
There are not many people who can walk from here to the enemy side at night. Even if they do, the noise they make is too loud and they will be discovered by the enemy before they even arrive, let alone a sneak attack.
And they didn't really want to kill the other person. Although they didn't have real swords in their hands, danger could still easily occur at night.
Su Nan frowned. He was the best at arranging troops among the male students, and he had won several drills he had led before.
Seeing his gloomy face, a student came out to smooth things over: "We should set out before dark and ambush near their camp until dark."
"Yes, Su Nan is very experienced in combat."
Cheng Jiuyuan didn't say anything else. If she objected again, she would be accused of disobeying orders.
Su Nan's expression looked better now. He slowly said, "Sun Qi, Wang Changjun, each of you take five people and go and find out the terrain."
"Zhou Changsu, you guys will be responsible for setting up camp. At twilight hour, all the men will follow me and set out."
Zhu Jin asked: "What about us?"
"You... collect firewood, make fire, cook and guard the camp to prevent the enemy from launching surprise attacks or counterattacks."
The words sounded nice, but everyone knew that he was looking down on women.
"Okay, everyone go do your own thing." After saying this, Su Nan stood up and took a team of people to survey the terrain.
The remaining male students began to set up camp, and a dozen female students surrounded Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Wan.
"Wei Pianpian is on the other side. The Wei family is naturally good at deploying troops. I think a sneak attack at night is unreliable."
"This Su Nan just looks down on us women."
Chu Wan looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Sister Cheng, I think we can't just light a fire and cook, we have to do something else."
"Yes, it's better to let those men see that we are no worse than them, and we may even be better than them."
Cheng Jiuyuan was silent for a moment, "Let's go collect firewood first."
"Cheng Jiuyuan, are you really resigned to your fate?"
Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and walked to the side, and Zhu Jin and others hurriedly followed.
A group of women complained as they collected firewood.
Cheng Jiuyuan stood on the hillside and looked at the dense forest below.
"Sister Cheng, what are you looking at?" Zhu Jin walked over and asked curiously.
"I was thinking that sneak attacks at night are a common tactic used by military strategists. It is impossible that the enemy is unprepared. If Su Nan and his men go over there, they will definitely fall into the enemy's trap."
The female students nearby all came over.
"Doesn't that mean we're going to lose?"
Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head: "Not necessarily, all of you come here."
The female students put down the firewood, walked over and formed a circle, listening to Cheng Jiuyuan's instructions.
At noon, all the people who had surveyed the terrain returned.
Some people covered their stomachs and said they were hungry as soon as they came back.
"Why haven't you started a fire to cook yet? Didn't I say that you women are responsible for cooking?"
"Why should we do it? Don't you have hands?"
These female students grew up in luxury at home. In the academy, they finally adapted to not having to be served by slaves, but they could not accept serving others.
"Men work outside and women work inside. This has been the case since ancient times. While we are out surveying the terrain, you should prepare meals and wait for us to come back. This is called division of labor."
"So what did you find out?"
The male students all shut up.
This is just a small hill, what is there to explore?
"Either make a fire together and cook, or do your own thing, or go hungry. Don't even think that I will cook for you. My father hasn't even eaten the meal I cooked. You're so shameless." Chu Wan said unhappily.
Although she had put aside her status once she entered the academy, Chu Wan was a princess after all, so no one dared to say anything more.
Su Nan was displeased and frowned, saying, "Then the men will be responsible for making the fire."
The ingredients were all provided by the academy, but none of the young masters and young ladies knew how to cook, and Cheng Jiuyuan didn’t want to be in the spotlight.
So after a big pot of stew, both the man and the woman were angry and disliked each other.
The men were led by Su Nan, while the women, led by Chu Wan and Cheng Jiuyuan, were crowded together.
"What's the point of learning the six arts for women? They can't lift anything. Wouldn't it be a hindrance if they participated in this drill?"
"That's right, I can't even cook a meal properly."
"If these people were born in ordinary families, they wouldn't even be able to get married."
Some male students also spoke up to speak a few fair words.
"Since we are all assigned to the same team, we are one team and should work together."
"That's right. Don't look down on women. Take the archery competition for example. Didn't Cheng Jiuyuan and Wei Pianpian both win..."
The woman was also full of complaints, but she was also looking forward to it.
"When night comes, these idiots will realize how powerful we are."
After resting for a while, Su Nan divided the male students into two groups and asked them to take turns guarding the camp to prevent a surprise attack by the other side.
The female students had nothing to do and even went out to pick wild flowers to make wreaths.
This scene even attracted contempt from some male students.
"It's really like an outing."
"Why are you so petty, kid? What's wrong with letting the girl go? Be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future."
A calm afternoon passed like this, and the sky gradually darkened.
Su Nan gave the female students some instructions and then set off with the male students.
