"The company's meaning is very clear, requiring us to stabilize the front line in Xihuo Town, we ...... Can't go back! ”

Although she felt that this order was difficult to complete, Eva had no intention of saying conditions, but did not hesitate to accept it, and did not intend to discount it when it was carried out.

But what is this Li Ruiliu thinking?

has said it so clearly, the first idea is to continue to retreat, so what do you want to do?

Eva was still young after all, and when she said this, a look of uncertainty appeared on her face.

As the temporary commander-in-chief appointed by Aliyun, she definitely has the ability to influence the decisions of Aliyun and the others.

Compared with the rest of the company's employees, the upper echelons of the company - that is, the people who started the team - trust the girls of the Yin and Yang soldiers more.

Li Ruiliu also understands this.

If Eva is not happy with him, then his fate will be returned to its original place, and he will continue to be locked up and awaiting treatment.

But Li Ruiliu did not change his words, but explained: "That's because the above doesn't know much about the situation on our side. Xihuo Town is located in the plain, there is no danger to defend, the building is simple, and we have insufficient troops at hand, the enemy is the vanguard force alone is more than a thousand puppets, the firepower is strong, and more importantly, we don't know how many troops there are behind them, since as a vanguard force, we can recruit the evil ghosts to form a puppet army in wartime, then I believe that the vast majority of the puppet troops that are defeated in the canyon will definitely be surrendered by the enemy, and we will face more than just the more than 1,000 vanguard troops, There are also large forces of the enemy, including hundreds of thousands of puppets! Forcibly establishing a defensive line here in Xihuo Town is simply self-defeating! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we can repel the attack of the enemy's vanguard and gather troops in time to stabilize the defense line of Xihuo Town, but the enemy can completely bypass Xihuo Town, contain us with a part of the force, and continue to attack and advance backwards, then we will be trapped here, meaningless! ”

"Can you bring me my computer?" When Li Ruiliu said this, he suddenly made a request.

Although a little annoyed, Eva complied with his request and returned the laptop that Li Ruiliu had brought with him during the battle.

Li Ruiliu used a blank wall as a screen, turned on the projection function of the computer, and called up a map.

"This is a map that I made by reconnaissance along the way when I led the advance team to the west. Please look at ......" Li Ruiliu stood in front of the wall and pressed his hand on the location of Xihuo Town on the map, "Xihuo Town was only a temporary settlement built for repair, and the reason why it was chosen to build here is because it is the most stable location in the geological conditions within more than 300 kilometers in the vicinity, and the surrounding area is not flat and stable, without any ground cracks, and the battle line can be completed in the shortest time. After the enemy pins us down with some of his forces, it is completely possible to bypass Xihuo Town from the side, and we do not yet have the ability to fully control the range of hundreds of kilometers! ”

"So my opinion is......" Li Ruiliu's hand moved backwards along the highway line, crossed four settlements in a row, and finally knocked on the settlement named Huoxia Town on the map, "retreat in great strides, directly abandon these settlements, and establish a defensive line in Huoxia Town." While retreating, we can set traps along the highway to slow down the enemy's attack, and order the nearby forces to assemble in Huoxia! ”

"Below the town of Fire Gorge, there is a Yin Fire Ground Crack, the ground crack is long, stretching to both sides, although the width is not very large, but the Yin Fire is the natural enemy of the natives and evil spirits of hell, enough to rely on a natural defense line! Originally, Huoxia Town was completely built on top of this ground crack, and the foundation was fixed with a pure steel frame. We can set up a defensive line behind the town of Fire Gorge. If the battle doesn't go well, you can also blow up the town of Huoxia and cut off the passage through the guò crack, so as to slow down the enemy's attack! ”

Eva questioned, "How could the enemy honestly advance along the road line, and what if they bypassed the surrounding wilderness and scattered the attack from multiple directions, as you said?" ”

Li Ruiliu said confidently: "At least in a short period of time, this will never happen!" Xihuo Town is undefensible because the geological state is stable, and the vast majority of the wilderness areas belong to the unstable dìng geological zone, with many cracks and fires, which are dense in vertical and horizontal, which is not suitable for large army marches, which is why the hellish natives in the wilderness live on natural floating platforms and refuse to land. According to my previous information, the Fire Tree Dynasty has not been able to cross the Ghost River on a large scale, calling the east bank of the Ghost River a wild area, and they are completely blind to the situation here, after crossing the Ghost River, they will understand the geological state here as long as they investigate a little, so attacking along the highway line we built is their only choice! Time is of the essence! They should be equally afraid that we will organize a massive counterattack, and they will want to rely on a quick attack to confuse us and delay our counterattack! So our battle will definitely be along the road line! ”

Confidence comes from strength.

Since Li Ruiliu was assigned to the westward development troops, Yong Bowen has always led the leading contingent to be the front station for most of the front, and the entire highway line has been established in his footsteps, and he is extremely clear about the geographical situation along the highway, and has specially collected and sorted out the relevant information. Unlike those battle mages who only focused on looting, Li Ruiliu, who was well aware of the company's goals, focused his attention on gathering information on all aspects of the area he passed. This is when it finally comes in handy.

Eva was persuaded by Li Ruiliu's confident explanation. Michelle also whispered behind her that she should trust Li Ruiliu's opinion. But she was still a little hesitant: "But the order from above is to stabilize the battle line on the front line of Xihuo Town, and we are retreating in such a big stride......"

Li Ruiliu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I think I can understand what Mr. Ai means!" Our current defensive operations are not only at the combat level, but also at the political level. ”

Eva blinked, feeling a little unable to keep up with Li Ruiliu's train of thought. Michelle, however, patted Eva thoughtfully, motioning for her to listen.

"After the last time the city was opened, the human side actually had a strict attitude of skepticism towards our company, and could not recognize the safety of the colony, if it were not for the strong support of Chairman Yu, the industrial park of the city would not be able to be established now, if the news of the collapse of the war in the west came back, it would definitely be a great blow to the development of the city, and those companies who hesitated would probably withdraw to the world as soon as possible. Therefore, Mr. Ai never wants the war in the west to affect the development of the pioneer city, so the outcome of the battle on our side is very important, even if the relevant news circulates back, it should be inspiring, not adverse! ”
