After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, the doubts on the faces of the warlords seemed to be less, and the frowning brows eased a little.

If this was said by someone else, maybe they would have to think about it carefully, but Zhang Zhao's prestige among the warlords was very high, and since he said so, others would no longer doubt Xu Kai.

"Okay, since Lao Zhang thinks that Xu Kai has no problem, then let's believe him." One warlord said, "But what are we going to do now?" Do you want to rescue him? ”

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said: "Now Lao Xu is rushing to repair the Houyi cannon, let's wait a little, if the Houyi cannon can be repaired, we naturally don't have to take action, if it can't be repaired...... Maybe we have to come to the rescue. ”

"What are you doing if you can't fix it? It's worthless. Someone said nonchalantly.

"Of course you are saved, do you want to let the Houyi cannon fall into the hands of the enemy? I don't want to be pointed at my head with a Houyi cannon to live! The other immediately shouted.

"Since you want to save it, you should send the fleet over now, otherwise it will be too late!"

"If the fleet is sent over, it will inevitably fight with the fleet of the Colonization Alliance, and the defense here will become weak, I think this is a conspiracy of the enemy, they just want to disperse our forces, and the last resort is not to rescue!"

The opinions of the two factions are somewhat reasonable, and although Zhang Zhao and others are big warlords, they do not dare to make decisions at will on such important decisions of life and death.

Everyone argued for a long time, and no one could come up with a good idea, and then Xu Kai suddenly sent a call request.

"Lao Xu, how's it going?" As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Zhao couldn't wait to ask.

Xu Kai replied with a dejected look: "There is a problem with the converter of the Houyi cannon, and I am afraid that it will not be repaired in a short time." ”

"How can this be ......?" immediately resounded in the conference room.

Zhang Zhao said to Xu Kai: "Old Xu, what are you going to do now?" ”

Xu Kai sighed and said weakly: "What else can I do?" The fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation will arrive soon, and I have at most half a fleet in my hands, and they are all small and medium-sized ships, so I can't defeat the other side at all. I want to retreat as soon as possible, and as for the Houyi cannon, I have to destroy it, so as not to fall into the Colonization Alliance. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but they didn't expect Xu Kai to plan to destroy the Houyi cannon, so that there would be one less big killing weapon, and the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation would probably be even more fearless.

"No, the Houyi cannon can't be destroyed, we can hold the imperial capital now, relying on the Houyi cannon!" Someone objected.

Xu Kai smiled bitterly: "If you don't destroy it, will it be left to the Colonization and Anlian?" ”

"This ...... You can try to hold it, as long as the Houyi cannon is repaired, won't you be able to repel the fleet of the Allians? ”

Xu Kai shrugged and said: "I can't defend this little force, I want to guard you, anyway, I plan to withdraw." ”

"Lao Xu, don't be impulsive, we can discuss it again."

"That is, once the Houyi cannon is destroyed, there will be no second one, so it's better to try your best to hold it."

The warlords persuaded Xu Kai not to destroy the Houyi cannon, but Xu Kai was like eating a scale, and he wanted to destroy the Houyi cannon no matter what others said.

At this time, Zhang Zhao finally spoke: "Lao Xu, I think the Houyi cannon still can't be destroyed casually, after all, this is our most important super weapon, and it's a pity to destroy it like this." Our side will immediately send a fleet to support you, and you will find a way to hold the Houyi cannon and do your best to repair it. ”

Xu Kai didn't answer immediately, pretending to be pensive, and waited for a while before saying: "Okay, you send a fleet to support as soon as possible, I can hold for a while, and I will give up my life here if it's a big deal!" ”

"Don't worry, we will never leave you alone, everyone has blessings and hardships!" Zhang Zhao said.

"Okay, I'll do my best with your words!" Xu Kai finally made up his mind.

After ending the call, Zhang Zhao said to the others: "In the current situation, we have to help Lao Xu no matter what, otherwise we will have one less super weapon." I think we can send two fleets over first, although the defense here is weak, but isn't there a small fleet of the Colonial Security Alliance? So you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Okay, since Lao Zhang has decided like this, let's quickly transfer the fleet to support Lao Xu."

"I agree, so let's do it!"

Under the leadership of Zhang Zhao and others, other warlords also agreed to support Xu Kai and try their best to keep the Houyi cannon, a big killing weapon.

After some discussion, Zhang Zhao and others drew two fleets from the fleet defending the imperial capital and rushed to the launch base of Houyi artillery to support.

A few hours later, the 3rd and 4th fleets of the Colonization and Security Alliance and Xu Kai's fleet began to exchange fire, and the two sides fought very fiercely as soon as they came up, and it could be seen that the fleet of the Colonization and Security Alliance was eager to take the launch base of the Houyi artillery.

The warlord fleet that got the news had to speed up and try their best to rush to the place of engagement, they had to drive Xu Kai's fleet away before it was wiped out, otherwise the Houyi artillery might fall into the Colonization Alliance.

Zhang Zhao and others also saw the situation of the battle between the two sides through the images transmitted by the military satellite, judging from the intensity of the battle, Xu Kai was indeed desperate enough, and the last doubt in everyone's hearts was dispelled.

However, they didn't know that this matter had already been in Feng Kailong and Xu Kai's plan, in order to deceive the other warlords, Xu Kai had invested heavily and put on his only remaining fleet.

There were no soldiers on these fleets at all, they were all controlled by artificial intelligence, and they were fighting according to established procedures, and although they seemed to be fiercely fighting, in fact, the Albanian fleet did not cause much damage.

The whole battle was actually a real combat military exercise by the fleet of the Colonization and Security Federation, and the final result must be that Xu Kai's fleet was wiped out.

In order to make the battle look more realistic, the Colonists and Anlieus also sacrificed some warships, but these warships are also warships without soldiers, and they are all operated by artificial intelligence.

Only a few people know these insider stories, how could Zhang Zhao and these people know the inside story, in their opinion, Xu Kai really tried his best.

In fact, with the combat effectiveness of the two fleets of the Colonial Alliance, it would not take much time to destroy Xu Kai's fleet, but in order to be able to deceive the supporting fleet, this battle lasted longer than normal.

Seeing that Xu Kai's fleet was running out, the reinforcements sent by Zhang Zhao and others finally arrived.

Now that the situation has completely entered the routine of the Colonization and Security Alliance fleet, Feng Kailong told the admirals of the two fleets not to rush to destroy each other first, and give each other a little sweetness.

The Third and Fourth Fleets, having received orders, began to reduce the efficiency of their attacks, leaving the opposing side with plenty of time to create a stalemate between the two fleets.

Deliberately evaded by the Colonization and Security Coalition fleet, the reinforcements sent by the warlords were able to fully deploy the formation, and the two sides formed their usual phalanxes and began to bombard each other with particle cannons.

Feng Kailong and other senior officers watched the battle situation closely on the flagship, and a staff member said: "My lord, now that the battle has completely entered our imagination, is the next step to let Xu Kai prepare to use the Houyi cannon?" ”

Feng Kailong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Don't worry, let them fight for a while." ”

After speaking, Feng Kailong suddenly said to the herald: "Pass my order, tell the Third and Fourth Fleets, use more force, let the enemy taste the bitterness, but don't beat them too hard, so as not to scare them away." ”

"Yes!"

The Third and Fourth Fleets, which received the order, began to intensify their attacks, and the ordinary shipborne particle cannons that had been used before began to be replaced with ship-breaking arrows.

The counter-fire, which was originally in a balance of power, suddenly changed, and the attack intensity of the Colonial Alliance fleet increased a lot.

Under the bombardment of the ship-breaking arrow, the energy consumption of the opponent's defensive shield was extremely fast, and soon some battleships had insufficient energy in the defensive shield.

"Warning! Warn! The power supply of the shield is insufficient! The same sirens sounded from many warships, and the fleet sent by the warlords began to panic.

The Admiral in command of the fleet had to speed up the rotation of formations in order to alleviate the problem of the defensive shield depleting energy too quickly.

With the acceleration of the rotation of formations, there was inevitably some confusion in the fleet formation, which just gave the Colonization Alliance fleet some opportunities.

"Keep an eye on those warships that are in rotation, their defensive shields must be running out of energy and can't withstand a few shots!" The captains of the Colonization and Security Federation quickly found each other's weaknesses.

The loss rate of the warlord's fleet began to rise rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and one after another the battleships were unable to effectively resist the opponent's broken arrows due to the problem of the defensive cover, and they were bombed into countless pieces.

Seeing that the battle situation was slowly falling into disadvantage, Zhang Zhao and the others, who had been paying close attention to the battle process, began to be a little anxious.

"I didn't expect the opponent's shipborne particle cannon to be so powerful, and the energy consumption of our defensive shield was too fast." The warlords said one after another.

"I don't think it will work like this, sooner or later our fleet will not be able to resist, we must think about what countermeasures there are!" The crowd was talking about it.

At this time, the person in charge of intelligence monitoring suddenly walked into the conference room and said to the many warlord leaders: "The Colonization and Security Alliance fleet has sent another fleet, and it is rushing to the location of the current battle!" ”

"What? At this time, they also sent a fleet, it seems that they are determined to take the Houyi artillery base! Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Zhao and the others also showed a look of surprise on their faces, the fleet of the Colonization and Security Alliance had already taken the advantage, if another fleet was sent to reinforce it, the current fleet of the warlords would definitely not be able to resist.

Everyone looked at each other, only to see Zhang Zhaoyi gritting his teeth and saying fiercely: "We also send reinforcements, since we want to support, we must support them to the end, and Houyi Cannon must not let them go!" ”
