The speed of ships in this era was very slow, and when Wang Xiaoming found that there were ships on the sea, these ships were still more than ten kilometers away from the port, and then it took two hours to reach the port, and then a large number of people went down from the ships to the port.

During this time, it was enough for Li Xian's side to get the news, and then secretly wake up all the escorts, enter the position, and prepare to meet the enemy.

"This Zhu Jiu is not good, he can actually bring more than 500 people over. Li Xian looked at the monoculars for a long time at a hidden observation point before he nodded and handed the telescope to Zhao Hu next to him.

"Zhu Jiu's strength has always been inferior to Hai Yanluo, how can there be so many people?" After reading it, Zhao Hu felt a little incredible, Zhu Jiu brought too many people this time.

"First of all, Zhu Jiu has been hiding clumsily all these years, obviously his strength has surpassed that of Hai Yanluo, but he has not revealed it, and he wants to make a splash one day, but this possibility is very small.

The second possibility is that he recruited other pirates as helpers, and maybe even got some outside help.

It was noted that those with firearms did not, and that they were clearly divided into two groups. Li Xian analyzed.

The people brought by Zhu Jiu were well equipped, and there were more than 200 people with firearms, and even four artillery pieces.

However, judging from the position of their personnel and the way they acted, it was clear that they were divided into two groups.

I don't know what the quality of their firearms is, but at least the number is far greater than that of the escort team, and there are no serious cannons on the side of the Mixed Yuan Sect, only four whaling cannons temporarily modified into wooden carts.

Zhao Hujiang licked his lips, his palms were full of sweat, and he just wanted to subconsciously ask Li Xian if he could win, but he finally remembered that it was inappropriate to ask this now, so he couldn't help it.

Li Xian looked at the strength of Zhu Jiu's side far beyond the previous estimate, but his heart was very calm, and he didn't know if it was because he had experienced enough battles, and now Li Xian found that the more he came to the moment of battle, the more he could maintain peace and sobriety in his heart.

In a sense, this kind of self-adjustment is more useful than any other ability.

It seems that Zhu Jiu's side has also done a lot of preparatory work in advance, and the landing site chosen is just far away from the nearby fishermen's settlement, which will not alarm people, and the terrain is flat, which is suitable for deploying large-scale troops.

It's just that Zhu Jiu's subordinates are all pirates after all, and they can't do the order and ban at all, more than 500 people are on the beach, and the sound is noisy, which can be faintly heard on the side of the Mixed Yuan Temple.

The relationship between the nearby fishing village and the mixed yuan view is good, and Li Xian has been giving money to some well-connected fishermen in the fishing village, asking them to help pay attention to the movement on the beach.

They were relieved to find that the Mixed Yuan Temple had already prepared.

It took Zhu Jiu nearly an hour to get the team in order, and then most of the people slowly pressed towards the side of the Mixed Yuan Temple, but there were more than twenty black shadows, but they took advantage of the night to quickly sweep towards the side of the Mixed Yuan Temple.

Li Xian thought it was a scout sent by Zhu Jiu at first, but he found that these twenty or so people were extremely athletic, and their running speed at night was three points happier than that of ordinary people running at full speed, and he couldn't help but be moved.

"All of these people are masters above the advanced level, and at least four of them are masters of the Grandmaster Realm. "Zhao Hu's martial arts are not very good, but he has experienced many battles in his early years and has rich experience, and he can see at once that these people are not weak martial artists.

"It's three Grandmaster Realms and one Second-Order Peak, eleven Second-Order and twelve First-Order Peaks. Li Xian saw it much more clearly than Zhao Hujiang, and even faintly felt that the figure and light jumping method of the second-order peak were somewhat familiar.

If the people of the Mixed Yuan Temple were not equipped with firearms and were not vigilant enough, then these masters alone would be enough to slaughter the escort of more than a hundred people.

"All snipers, repeating gunners, and gunners, attack the four Grandmaster-level masters who are running in the front as soon as possible, and the smoothbore gunners will attack the ordinary masters in the back first. Li Xian whispered to General Zhao Hu and the guards around him, and these people whispered to the people beside him, passing the order out little by little.

Li Xian didn't know how to fight a defensive war, but fortunately, he still had basic military knowledge, and knew that the best way to defend was to use trenches, so he dug two circles of trenches outside the Taoist temple, and set up hiding holes, sniper positions, and whaling gun positions.

The convoy now numbered about one hundred and twenty men, and its armament consisted of twenty-three rifled guns, twenty-two bar repeating guns (including air guns and revolvers), six whaling guns, and more than sixty smoothbore guns.

The six whaling cannons were originally intended to be installed on a modified fishing boat for whaling, but after receiving the warning, Li Xian felt that it was too unsafe to hunt whales in the malicious sea, so he postponed the establishment of the whaling fleet and fixed the whaling cannons to wooden carts so that they could be used in case the enemy attacked.

There was a path in front of the gate of the Mixed Yuan Temple that led to the beach, but around this path, Li Xian led a group of hunters, dug countless traps, and installed countless traps.

Some of them install traps after digging pits, some put a large number of iron and wooden sticks under the bottom after digging, and a few put grenades inside, and then install trigger devices to make improvised mines.

This kind of mine made of grenades, Li Xian didn't have much chance to use it after using it in the Tianbao Mountain trial, and it was all arranged around the trail at this time.

The path from the Mixed Yuan View to the beach was originally relatively straight, but then it was changed by Li Xian to be extremely winding, if someone kept coming up along the path, they would be exposed to the multiple firepower of the Mixed Yuan Temple, and if they wanted to rush directly from the open space next to the path, they would have to suffer from these traps.

Li Xian himself is a master of traps, and the hunters in the escort team have learned how to dig pits and catch beasts all their lives, and they shoot together, these traps are insidious and hidden, and those who don't know will definitely suffer a big loss.

The more than twenty masters below moved extremely fast, followed the trail to the trap area, but stopped, and then sent people to carefully investigate the environment around the trail.

"Well, after all, there are masters among these people, and they won't be so easy to fool. Li Xian nodded secretly.

It's better for those traps to be used to deceive ordinary people, but the perception of martial artists is far beyond that of ordinary people, and some people even have special reconnaissance exercises and Dao types, so it is not difficult to find that the situation around the trail is different.

It's just that these traps are Yang Mou, even if you realize that this place is full of traps, you can either turn around and go back and let the large army remove the traps, or continue to go up and continue along the winding path, there is no other choice.
