"Hasn't the General Command answered yet?" Zhang Ao, the commander of the temporary fleet, roared at the communicator.

"Still not." The correspondent said with a grim face.

"Go on, and send a request for help until there's a reply!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Ao walked around the bridge with his hands behind his back, exuding a strong smell of gunpowder, which scared everyone else to hide a few meters away, for fear that one accidentally ignited the powder keg.

"Damn! If we don't send any more reinforcements, we're really doomed! Zhang Ao scolded to himself.

At this time, the intelligence officer shouted: "Forty more warships have been destroyed, and there are only four hundred warships left!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ao's eyes showed a vicious and fierce light, and he stomped his foot and said, "Send those ships of the 1st Fleet!" ”

"But those ships don't have enough energy, and many of them have been damaged, so it's useless to send them in." An officer said.

Zhang Ao sneered and said, "Can he only yin me, and I can't yin him?" Even if they want to die, let the people of the 1st Fleet die first, and send these useless ships over, they deserve to be cannon fodder! ”

Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, and said in their hearts: "These people are more ruthless than the other, and they really can't be the commander of the fleet......

Under Zhang Ao's strong order, the ships sent by the 1st Fleet to support were pushed to the front, and these ships had little combat effectiveness, but now they are only sent to death in vain.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for these ships to become a pile of space junk, floating miserably in space.

But for Zhang Ao, the loss of these ships is nothing at all, anyway, it is not his fleet, and it is enough to delay for a few minutes.

The Freedom Alliance didn't know about these intrigues in Diri, and the biggest enemy for them was not the emperor, but time.

Several hours have passed since the start of the war, but the battle has not developed as expected, and the defense system of the imperial capital is more difficult to deal with than expected, resulting in their delay in taking the imperial capital.

If it weren't for the existence of the defense system, the emperor's fleet would have been routed long ago, which made the problem of the Free Alliance gradually revealed.

The lack of energy is the biggest problem, followed by the fear of reinforcements, and if the rest of the Empire's fleet arrives to support, it will be difficult for this battle plan to succeed.

"Give me more firepower, the key to victory or defeat is now!"

"Crush the opposing fleet, and we're half the victory!"

Deng Yuanqing and Cai Qi respectively issued more radical orders to their fleets, and both of them could feel that the other party was almost unable to hold on.

The fleets of Flying Wolf and Lion sent almost all the warships that could fight, and also sent a large number of small ships and mechs to distract each other's firepower.

Zhang Ao, the commander of the temporary fleet, also saw that now the other party has to fight hard with him, and at this time, he just needs to grit his teeth and resist it, otherwise he will be swallowed by the other party in one go.

"Send all the ships that can't be hit, and resist for a minute!" Zhang Ao was ruthless, at this time, he didn't care if it was his own fleet, and it was good to delay for one more minute.

It was a cruel decision to send some of the people to their deaths in order to save the rest, and the criterion was only to see whose ships could continue the fight.

Many of the officers on the bridge wiped their tears from their eyes, after all, these people who were sent to die were their own colleagues, and many of their friends were on these ships, and now they had to sacrifice these people so that those ships that could still fight could continue to fight.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were showing hesitant looks, Zhang Ao couldn't help but scold: "Execute the order immediately!" Do you want to rebel! ”

The subordinates saw that Zhang Ao's eyes were already red, his eyes were bloodshot, and the expression on his face could only be described as hideous.

The crowd did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to convey the order to the warships and let them go up immediately.

As one battleship after another was sacrificed to the front of the formation, it was quickly destroyed one by one, and then the other ships were allowed to continue on top.

At this time, the battlefield has become a giant meat grinder, and a large number of people are killed by the battle every minute, and the rest have to send their companions to the conveyor belt of the meat grinder.

"Reflector No. 1 is ready and has reached the designated position."

In the universe, about thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, an asteroid is slowly moving, and the asteroid has a large circular mirror, very similar to the space station that the Lion Fleet encountered before.

This is the No. 1 reflector of the Houyi cannon, and the huge mirror surface is used to reflect the beam of the ultra-high-energy particle cannon, so as to adjust the shooting angle.

There are more than a dozen such reflectors in the entire Houyi system, all of which are distributed around the Tianhan Star, and through these reflectors, the beam of the Houyi cannon can be reflected anywhere.

However, the real position of Hou Yi Cannon is above the satellite of Tianhan Star, Gaohe Star.

Gao Hexing is an uninhabited planet with the emperor's secret base, and many secret weapons are researched from here, and Gao Hexing is a natural weapon testing ground.

At this time, in Gao Hexing's secret base, Hou Yi Cannon was making final preparations before launching, only to see dust on the desolate land, and a crack appeared on a mountain, as if someone had split it in the middle.

The crack grew bigger and bigger, and the whole mountain split into two halves from the middle, each moving to the left and right. From under the moving mountain, a huge deep hole with a radius of several kilometers was revealed, and it was pitch black and I don't know how deep.

It turned out that deep underground in the mountain was the emperor's secret base, and this huge hole was the launch port of the Houyi cannon.

"The Houyi system has been activated, the charge has reached 90, and it is expected to be ready for launch in 5 minutes."

The staff in the base closely watched the various indices of the Houyi system, and now the sub-systems were ready, and they could be launched immediately after the energy filling was completed.

"Charge complete, ready to launch!" The system finally gave a prompt, and the crew immediately pressed the button for firing preparation.

The data was transmitted back to the headquarters of the imperial capital in real time, the indicator light lit up green, and a hint of launch preparation appeared on the big screen at the same time.

Huang Ding and the others applauded excitedly when they saw that they could finally launch, everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Ding, and the noisy hall suddenly quieted down at this moment.

Huang Ding came to the console with a calm step, he looked around first, and saw countless expectant eyes looking at him, and in an instant Huang Ding felt that a heavy burden was pressing on his shoulders.

Huang Ding took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his finger and pressed it steadily towards the launch button.

"Launch begins, countdown one minute!" The system gives a hint.

At this time, everyone held their breath and watched intently at the rapid countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7......

When the countdown number changed to 0, an incomparably bright huge beam of light suddenly shot out from the emitter of Gao Hexing, and the beam of light stood like a giant pillar on the land of Gao Hexing, connecting the dark world with the barren earth.

The huge beam of light was shot all the way to the No. 1 reflector, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away, and after reflection, the beam was directed to the No. 2 emitter, and after several reflections, this terrifying beam of light would shoot in the direction where the lion fleet was located.

At this time, the lion fleet and the flying wolf fleet had achieved overwhelming superiority, and only two or three hundred warships remained in the temporary fleet on the opposite side that was still struggling to support it.

"If you work harder, you'll be able to annihilate the enemy in no time!" Cai Qi sat on the bridge and shouted excitedly.

With his encouragement, all the ships of the Lion Fleet that could fight pressed on it, and launched a final attack on the enemy with all weapons.

At the same time, Deng Yuanqing, the commander of the Flying Wolf Fleet, also constantly encouraged his subordinates that as long as they continued to attack, the temporary fleet would not have much time to be destroyed.

At this time, the early warning system suddenly sounded the alarm: "A high-energy reaction has been detected, preliminarily judged to be an energy weapon, which is expected to arrive in a minute." ”

Cai Qi, who heard the warning sound, immediately thought of what happened before, and the whole person seemed to be doused with ice water from head to toe, and he froze in his chair and stopped moving in an instant.

The ultra-high-energy beam of the Houyi cannon bounced off and shot from the side of the lion fleet, covering an area that could envelop almost a third of the lion fleet.

The similar attack encountered by the Lion Fleet before was the predecessor of the Houyi Cannon, the ultra-high-energy particle cannon attack, and the Houyi system has been improved on the basis of the original.

The irradiation time of the Houyi cannon is not only longer, but the angle can also be adjusted when irradiating, so the lethality and killing range are greatly improved compared with the original.

I saw a huge beam of light shining on the area where the lion fleet was sitting, and in an instant, a large number of warships were heated to crimson, and then turned into red steam.

However, the Houyi cannon did not end there, while the beam was still moving, and the entire fleet was swept by the huge beam from beginning to end.

In just a few seconds, the fleet, which was about to be victorious after many hardships and unremitting efforts, completely disappeared from this world, leaving only a cloud of steam floating in the universe.

It wasn't just the lion fleets that detected the high-energy reaction, and all fleets discovered such a huge amount of energy almost at the same time.

At this time, no one knew what kind of weapon it was, not even the emperor, and everyone was stunned by the huge energy that suddenly appeared.

Among them, the most shocked people were the physical personnel of the temporary fleet, the enemy fleet that was still frantically attacking them, suddenly disappeared from front of their eyes, and there was not even a trace of dregs left.

"Oh my God! What just happened? Could it be that the enemy has jumped somewhere else? An officer screamed in startle. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
