Chapter 172: Take the initiative and seek a decisive battle
The battle has reached this level, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Jiu must have a situation of losing and not winning this time, and the best way to deal with it now is to immediately bring people back to Jinzhou Island and prepare for the counterattack of the Mixed Yuan Concept.

However, Zhu Jiu seemed to be a little unwilling, and actually organized a third attack and commanded a large number of people to come up.
The morale of Zhu Jiu's subordinates fell to the freezing point, and they kept grinding on the road, and as soon as the gunshots rang out on the side of the Mixed Yuan Temple, they immediately turned around and fled.
This battle was the easiest time for the Mixed Yuan to win, but because the enemy ran too fast, the results were not good.
Li Xian carefully observed the movements on Zhu Jiu's side, and found that several people who looked like leaders gathered together to discuss something, and it seemed that they were still arguing fiercely about something.
Soon after, I saw that the pirates had divided a part of their people, not to attack the Mixed Yuan Temple, but to the nearby fishing village, and after a while, I saw chickens and dogs jumping on the fishing village, a chaotic scene.
Most of the people in the nearby fishing village make a living from whaling, and they are really poor people who have no money and have a life, and at this time more than 50 young and strong men are gathered to fight hard with the pirates who invade the village.
These villagers are brave, but they are outnumbered against the outnumbered pirates.
"What are the pirates doing, do you want to grab something before retreating?" asked Wang Xiaoming, a little inexplicably.
"Oh no, these pirates may be trying to catch the villagers and get through our traps. "Zhao Hu will experience more things and see greater possibilities.
"Still, these pirates are such a bunch of bastards, they can do all kinds of bad things. Only then did Wang Xiaoming react and scolded.
"Company commander, these pirates are fighting in the fishing village, our family is going to suffer, let's go and help them. "Many of the guards are fishermen, and a large part of them come from these fishing villages.
Li Xian didn't speak, he pondered, if he continued to stay in the trench, it would naturally be foolproof, even if the pirates really caught some fishermen to trap and smooth the way, it would only be repelled by the escort.
However, in that case, the people of the fishing village will suffer, and it will not be conducive to bringing these fishermen-born guards in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Xian made a decision.
"Don't make any noise, listen to me. Squad 1, Squad 3, Squad 5, and Squad 7 joined me to fight off pirates and support the villagers.
General Zhao Hu, you stay, and take the rest of the people to hold the position. ”
Li Xian's order suddenly fell silent in the trench, followed by the roaring voice of the guards responding: "Yes, company commander!"
Zhao Hu's face changed several times, and he couldn't hold back what he wanted to say.
Li Xian jumped out of the trench and stood in the open space in front of him: "With me as the benchmark, the four squads will go out of the trench and line up the line. ”
After Li Xian's order, the guards of the four squads all jumped out of the trench and lined up neatly according to their previous training.
"All of them, run and go!" Li Xian knew that the time was urgent, and he didn't waste time, so he directly gave the order to move forward.
The people of the Mixed Yuan Temple would come out of the trench so quickly, and without any delay at all, they would directly move forward, a move that greatly exceeded the pirates' expectations.
"Hurry, hurry, stop them, don't let them rush out of the intersection. "There are also people who understand among the pirates, and they immediately see the crux of the matter, and they are busy directing people to rush forward, trying to block the people of the Mixed Yuan Temple on the narrow path.
However, the swiftness of the convoy and the decisiveness of the attack were much better than the pirates.
Halfway through, Li Xian stopped a squad mainly equipped with rifled rifles on the road and fired suppressively at the pirates who rushed forward.
Of the eight squads under Li Xian, the first and second squads were mainly equipped with rifled rifles, the third and fourth squads were mainly equipped with repeating rifles such as air rifles and pistols, and the other four squads were equipped with smoothbore guns.
The people of the first class took cover under the leadership of the squad leader Wang Xiaoming, but Li Xian himself continued to move forward quickly with the remaining three squads, rushing through the sheep intestine trail area.
When defending, the sheep intestine trail gives the mixed yuan view a great advantage, but when attacking, it becomes a disadvantage.
The pirates on Zhu Jiu's side lacked training, and they were caught off guard, and they were not very neat to deal with, some pirates shot with muskets from afar, and some brave, rushing over with cold weapons such as big knives and spears.
The musket used by Zhu Jiu's subordinates was of poor quality, but it was also a musket, something that could kill people.
Li Xian ran at the front of the team, and he felt several bullets swishing past him, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It's just that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and there is absolutely no room to retreat at this time, and only by quickly passing through the trap area and lining up in the open space in front of them can they suppress the attack of the pirates.
Li Xian's own equipment was very complete, he pulled out the air pistol from his waist, and when he saw the pirates that appeared in front of him, he shot repeatedly, killing five or six pirates who ran to the front at once, and then put the gun back in his waist and held a jungle knife to meet him.
After Li Xian opened up the Jingyuan Sea, his strength improved greatly, and his martial arts were also much higher than before, and he rushed into the pirate herd, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and there was almost no enemy.
In terms of actual martial arts, Li Xian could barely deal with the masters of the early stage of the third order, relying on the advantage of perception and strength, and he was the most suitable for group battles, and he defeated these pirates who were already demoralized to a lot of casualties.
As Li Xian stepped forward to resist, the third squad behind also quickly followed, aiming at the pirates and shooting quickly, emptying a large area at once.
In the original battle, because of the range of the guns, most of these guards equipped with repeating pistols did not play a role, and could only watch the majesty of others, and at this time they finally had a place to use.
The third squad was a repeating gun squad, equipped with air rifles, air pistols, and revolvers, all of which were particularly suitable for melee combat, and killed and injured many pirates who rushed up on board.
The two squads that followed were armed with smoothbore guns, loaded their spears, and rushed up to fight the pirates with bayonets in a neat line according to their usual training.
A fierce battle broke out between the guards and pirates of the Mixed Yuan Temple at the exit of the sheep intestine path, and the situation was at a stalemate for a while.
