Chaotic Frontier: I Picked Up a Peerless Little Wife at the Start

Shui Feiyuan heard Lin Hui return.

He rushed over and hugged Lin Hui.

"Husband, are you hurt?"

Lin Hui shook his head, looking at Shui Feiyuan with a doting expression: "It's alright, go ahead and stew meat for everyone."

Shui Feiyuan nodded and led several village women to stew the meat.

Ling Ziyi, however, was somewhat worried. Coming from a military family, she had a keen understanding of the battlefield situation. She asked Lin Hui in a low voice, "Husband, now that Beikou Pass has fallen, are you really not worried?"

Lin Hui shook his head; in truth, he was more worried than anyone else.

Otherwise, why would they take advantage of the situation to establish the Northern Army?

"How could I not be worried? I know very well what the fall of Beikou Pass means."

"But if we explain the pros and cons to the villagers, they will only become more worried. In that case, they will become divided, busy running away, and become refugees."

"I took the opportunity to establish the Northern Army, procure my own provisions, grow stronger, and gain a foothold on the border."

"Going forward, we need to take in reliable refugees, gather bandits who are willing to surrender, and soldiers who have been defeated on the border."

He looked at Ling Ziyi meaningfully and said softly, "If we want to survive, we have to rely on ourselves. Training them will depend on you. When things are ready, I will let my elder brother and the others go down the mountain."

Ling Ziyi nodded and leaned against Lin Hui's chest.

Both of them looked into the distance at the same time, where the mountains and sea were shrouded in a hazy gray.

It appears that giant beasts are fighting among the clouds.

Over the next few days, Lin Hui and Ling Ziyi led the villagers to renovate the entire Sigou Village according to the standards of military defense, while Shui Feiyuan led several women to take care of the villagers' food, drink, and daily needs.

During the day, Ling Ziyi led everyone in training. Although the entire lightly armed group in Sigou Village numbered only about forty people, Ling Ziyi trained them according to military standards.

At first, some villagers didn't take it seriously. When Lin Hui saw that this wouldn't work, he immediately formulated simple military rules.

The training subjects were also specified in accordance with the standards of the new era.

After a series of actions, everyone started to work hard, and no one dared to slack off. They also began to transform from villagers into soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

Ling Ziyi taught martial arts, archery, and swordsmanship very seriously, and everyone studied diligently.

Within a few days, the Northern Army had taken on the appearance of an army.

After training during the day, everyone worked together to build fences and dig trenches.

As time went on, the fences were built higher and higher, the moats outside became deeper and wider, and more and more barricades were erected outside the moats.

Outsiders who want to get close must first cross the giant horse, then the moat, and finally climb over the high fence to enter the village.

From this point on, Sigou Village is no longer a village, but a military stronghold, a real military camp.

You can tell from a distance that this place is not to be trifled with.

Previously, refugees dared to come to the village, but now, seeing the menacing barricades outside Sigou Village from afar, they know they can't get in and they take a detour, not daring to even approach.

That morning, Lin Hui was watching the Northern Army drills in the threshing ground when a soldier guarding the tower came to report.

"Village chief, a horse-drawn carriage is coming from afar. Judging from its destination, it is heading towards our Sigou Village."

When Lin Hui arrived at the village gate, he saw that it was Sun Sangeng who had arrived.

He didn't expect that Sun Sangeng would finish making all the weapons before the agreed time.

Of course, perhaps because of the rush to finish the work, Sun Sangeng looked unshaven and his eyes were bloodshot, but he was still full of energy.

When he saw Lin Hui, he grinned, revealing his large yellow teeth.

"Brother Lin, I've brought you everything you wanted."

Sun Sangeng lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a whole carriage full of weapons. Just as Lin Hui had said before, all the weapons he wanted were there.

The blade gleamed with a dark, cold light in the setting sun.

Of course, there were also more than ten large axes.

The spears and lances were all polished to a gleaming shine, gleaming coldly.

The light and agile flying feather knife and the heavy horizontal blade are both exceptionally well-crafted, with smooth blades and beautiful patterns that clearly indicate they have undergone countless forgings.

Lin Hui picked up a horizontal knife and walked to a wooden stake not far away.

Lin Hui raised the horizontal sword to begin the test, putting all his strength into the blow.

The blade seemed to carry immense force, slicing through the wooden stake as easily as cutting through something soft.

Upon closer inspection, the cut surfaces of the areas where the blade had struck were as smooth as mirrors.

Next, I tried the light and agile flying feather knife. Although the effect was not as good as the horizontal sword, it was still quite good.

Looking at the blades of the two knives again, after such intense chopping, the blades remain flawless, without even an extra mark.

Lin Huilian sighed.

"A fine knife, truly a fine knife."

Lin Hui was very satisfied with the weapon that Sun Sangeng had made. The more he looked at Sun Sangeng, the more he liked it.

"Master Sun, come inside and have some tea."

Sun Sangeng followed Lin Hui in, and looking at the completely transformed Sigou Village in just a few days, he was full of surprise and asked, "Brother Lin, did you do all this?"

Lin Hui chuckled: "There's no other way. If I don't do this, I won't be able to stop the refugees and the routed troops."

"In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to find a way to organize everyone."

Lin Hui led Sun Sangeng to his own courtyard, where they happened to see the water kite.

"Feiyuan, Master Sun has finished forging the weapons we need."

Just then, Ling Ziyi heard that the weapons had arrived and returned from the training ground immediately.

"Come on, give me a spear and let me try."

Lin Hui chuckled, picked up a long spear, and threw it at Ling Ziyi.

Ling Ziyi reached out and caught it, then weighed it in her hand before moving her feet, the spear whistling through the air in her hands.

He then slashed at the air with all his might, the gunshot piercing the air with an incredibly shrill sound.

Ling Ziyi's eyes are the same.

"That's a really good gun."

Sun Sangeng smiled smugly: "Of course. You don't even know who made the weapon. I dare say you can't find such a good gun in the entire border army of the Northern Frontier."

Ling Ziyi chuckled and didn't refute, because you'll know whether a weapon is good or not once you handle it.

Ling Ziyi was immediately captivated by such a fine gun.

"Alright, this one's mine. I just happen to be without a weapon to charge into battle."

The group entered the house.

Shui Feiyuan brought the tea to the table, while Ling Ziyi poured a bowl of wine for Sun Sangeng.

After finishing two bowls of Thirty Mile Red soup, Sun Sangeng became more talkative.

"Brother Lin, the world has completely changed. Even in the past, with its heavy taxes, at least people could survive. But now, the situation is appalling."

He put down the wine bowl in his hand, and the smile on his face was gone.

"Outside the county town, there are hordes of refugees, starving and freezing, it's only a matter of time before they starve to death."

"I heard that many defeated soldiers retreated from the front lines. They looted many villages along the way, killing some people and leaving the villages empty."

"I dared not look at the road; there were corpses everywhere, which benefited the wild animals in the mountains."

"Right now, wild animals are eating the carcasses, but in a few days, it might be humans and wild animals fighting over them."

"It's hard to survive in this world."
