Chapter 49 Attack and Defense 2

"The company's intention is very clear, requiring us to stabilize the front line of Xihuo Town. We... can't retreat!"

Although she felt that this order was difficult to complete, Eva did not intend to be conditional, but did not hesitate to accept it, nor did she intend to discount it when it was implemented.

But what is Li Ruiliu thinking about?

It has been so clear that the first idea is to continue to retreat, so what else do you need to do?

Eva is still young. When she said this, there was already an unsitant look on her face.

As the temporary appointed commander-in-chief of Ai Liyun, she is absolutely capable of influencing the decisions of Ai Liyun and others.

Compared with other employees of the company, the upper class of the company - that is, these people who set up Yong Bowen's team - trust the yin and yang soldiers and girls more.

Li Ruiliu also knows this very well.

If Eva is not satisfied with him, his fate will return to its original position and continue to be locked up and waiting to be dealt with.

However, Li Ruiliu did not change his words, but explained, "That's because the above doesn't understand the situation on our side. Xihuo Town is located on the plain. There is no danger to defend, the building is simple, and we don't have enough troops at hand. The enemy's leading troops alone have more than a thousand machine puppets, and their firepower is strong. More importantly, we don't know how many troops are behind them. Since as a leading force, we can collect evil spirits to form a machine puppet department in wartime. Team, I believe that most of the machine puppet troops defeated in the canyon will definitely be recruited and relegated by the enemy. We will face not only the more than a thousand leading troops, but also a large number of enemy troops, including hundreds of thousands of machine puppets! Forcing the establishment of a defense line here in Xihuo Town is simply looking for a dead end! Ten thousand steps back, even if we can repel the attack of the enemy's leading team and gather troops in time to stabilize the defense line of Xihuo Town, but the enemy can completely bypass Xihuo Town and contain us with part of our troops. Most of our troops will continue to attack backwards, and then we will be trapped here. It's meaningless!"

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

Although she was a little annoyed, Eva met his request and returned the laptop that Li Ruiliu carried with him when he fought.

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

"This is the map drawn by scouting along the way when I led the advance team to the west. Look..." 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 for renovation. The reason why he chose to build here is that it is the most stable geological position within more than 300 kilometers nearby. The surrounding area is not flat and stable. Any seam can complete the front line in the shortest time. After the enemy restrained us with some troops, we can completely bypass the West Fire Town from the side. We don't have the ability to fully control this hundreds of kilometers now!"

"So my opinion is..." Li Ruiliu's hand moved backwards along the highway, crossed four settlements in a row, and finally knocked on the settlement called Huoxia Town on the map. "Step back, directly give up these settlements and establish a defense line in Huoxia Town. While retreating, we can deploy traps along the highway, slow down the enemy's attack, and order nearby troops to gather in Huoxia Town!"

"At the bottom of Huoxia Town, there is a dark fire crack. The ground seam is long and stretches to both sides. Although the width is not very large, the fire is the natural enemy of the indigenous people of hell and evil spirits, enough to rely on a natural defense line! At the beginning, Huoxia Town was completely built above this seam, with a pure steel frame to fix the foundation. We can build the defense line behind Huoxia Town. Once the war is not smooth, you can also blow up Huoxia Town and cut off the passage through the crevices to slow down the enemy's attack!"

Eva questioned: "How can the enemy move forward honestly along the road line? What if, as you said, bypass the surrounding wilderness and disperse multiple attacks?"

Li Ruiliu said confidently, "At least this will never happen in a short time!" Xihuo Town is undefable because the geological state is stable, and the vast areas of the wilderness are unstable geological belts. Most of them are covered with dark fire and densely, which is not suitable for large troops to march. This is also the reason why the hell 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 zone. The situation here is simply black. After crossing the Ghost River, as long as they investigate a little, they will understand the geological state here, and then attack along the highway we have built. Strike is their only choice! Time is the key! They should also be afraid that we will organize a large-scale counterattack and want to rely on a rapid attack to fool us and delay our counterattack! So our battle must be fought along the highway!"

Confidence comes from strength.

Since Li Ruiliu was assigned to the westward pioneering force, Yong Bowen has been leading the leading detachment for most of the front stations. The whole road line was established with his footsteps. He is very clear about the geographical situation along the road, and has deliberately collected and sorted out the relevant information. Unlike those combat mages who only focus on robbing the top, Li Ruiliu, who is well aware of the company's goals, focuses on all aspects of information collection in the area he has passed through. At this time, it finally came into use.

Eva was persuaded by Li Ruiliu's confident explanation. Michelle also whispered behind her that she should believe Li Ruiliu's opinion. However, she was still a little hesitant: "But the above order is to stabilize the front line of Xihuo Town. We have made such a big step back..."

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 her eyes and felt that she couldn't keep up with Li Ruiliu's thoughts. Michelle patted Eva thoughtfully, signaling her to listen.

"After the last riot in the pioneering city, the world actually has a serious skeptical attitude towards our company. They can't recognize the security of the colonies. If it hadn't been for the strong support of Chairman Yu, I'm afraid that the industrial parks in the pioneering city would not have been able to be established now. If the news of the collapse of the western war spreads back, to the pioneering city's Development must be a big blow, and those hesitant companies will probably withdraw from the world as soon as possible. Therefore, Mr. Ai will never want the war in the west to affect the development of the pioneering city, so the results of the battle on our side are crucial. Even if the relevant news is circulated back, it should be inspiring, not adversely affected!"
