On the main battlefield, 2 new fleets have been added.
Although the number of warships in these two fleets is very small, they are not worth mentioning compared to the Fourth Fleet and the Oaks Empire Fleet in the fierce battle.
But the key thing is that through Liang Xingchen's layout, the Oaks Empire's fleet is now completely unable to move and can only keep moving in a circle.
When the two fleets were in position and deployed in formation, they revealed their deadly fangs.
"Report, the fleet has been deployed, and the Oaks Empire's fleet will enter our fire circle in one minute."
"Very good. Once they enter the fire circle, fire immediately and convey this order to the fleet on the other side!"
"yes!"
After Lin Fan issued the order, he continued to look at the virtual tactical panel. The two reinforcement fleets A and B were currently located on the left and right sides of the Four Snakes' Tail Biting Formation. Therefore, the Fourth Fleet and the Oaks Empire, a total of four fleets, would take turns starting from the two fleets. Passing in front of the reinforcement fleet, and when passing by, its side will be completely exposed to the reinforcement fleet.
At this moment, the more than 2,400 battleships led by Lin Fan are facing the rear of the five squadrons of the Fourth Fleet. When they pass, the Oaks Empire fleet chasing behind them will appear, and it will be time for the reinforcement fleet to open fire.
One minute later.
"Fire!"
When the main force of the Fourth Fleet passed through, Lin Fan decisively gave the order to fire, and more than 2,400 warships poured firepower frantically towards the side of the Oaks Empire's fleet.
The side is the most vulnerable place for a fleet, and it is also the weakest position. Therefore, the battleship led by Lin Fan not only has a high hit rate, but also has a considerable number of sinkings!
On the other side, the Oaks Empire's main fleet also entered the firepower range of reinforcement fleet B, and was also violently attacked from the side, suffering heavy losses!
Ten minutes later, the two Oaks Empire fleets finally broke away from the fire circle on the side, but the battle damage made Cody collapse.
"Commander, in the previous round of attacks, the main fleet lost 4,800 warships, and the squadron also lost 3,200 warships. If this continues, we will be finished in just 3 or 4 rounds."
"Well, all we have to do is give it a try. The next time we pass through the fire circle of the two fleets, the entire fleet will immediately turn and attack directly in the direction of the human reinforcement fleet. As long as we are fast enough and break into their array, we can avoid flanking them. Attacked by the human fleet from behind."
At this time, Cody was ready to give it a try, because if he didn't take a chance now, if he continued to maintain the four-snake tail-biting formation and then made three or four turns, his entire army would be wiped out, and there would be no possibility of turning defeat into victory.
But the risk of this fight is also quite high. If you don't break into the opponent's reinforcement fleet in time, you will be caught on the side by the human fleet behind you.
That's not more than 2,000 warships, but nearly 10,000 warships. Once the side is exposed to them, the entire fleet will be defeated in a very short time.
But does Cody have a choice? No, not at all, just give it a try.
Ten minutes later, when he saw that the two fleets were about to enter the fire circle of the human reinforcement fleet again, Cody gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"The fleet maintains speed, turns to the right in an arc, and begins an assault. The target human fleet is to reinforce the fleet."
"yes!"
The two fleets immediately began to turn to the right, drawing an arc in the void, heading towards the two human reinforcement fleets.
"Report, the Oaks Empire's fleet has begun to turn. It should be that it wants to break into our array to avoid being hit from the side."
"Well, as expected, the opponent will definitely want to fight at this time. However, they turned around and did not have time to form a special assault formation. They still maintained a one-line formation, so the only warship that can fire is its snake head part. , less than 10%.”
"Should all the fleets be moved closer together to increase the thickness of the fleet to prevent the other side from attacking?"
"No, if we do this, we will not have very few warships that can fire. Even if we can block the opponent's intrusion, the losses will be huge."
"That?"
"Adjust the fleet formation. Arrange 1,400 warships in the middle array, and place 500 warships on the left and right sides respectively. They are distributed in an inverted shape to form a cross-fire network in three directions against the enemy's front warships! Inform Fleet B of this tactic as well. .”
"yes"
At this moment, Cody's fleet has turned its head and is aiming at the human reinforcement fleet.
"Commander, the human reinforcement fleet has changed its formation!"
"not good!"
Cody was also shocked when he looked at the battlefield scene.
The human reinforcement fleet was directly divided into three pieces. The largest piece was located in front of its own fleet, and the two smaller pieces on the left and right were located on both sides, facing itself at an angle of 20 degrees.
It is completely a layout to maximize firepower. It is obvious that humans do not want to deepen the thickness of the fleet to prevent themselves from breaking in, but directly use maximum crossfire to directly block their own route of advancement.
If the opponent has a thickened formation, Cody is not worried. After all, if the formation is thickened, there will be fewer warships that can fire. He just needs to lead the fleet and crash directly into it.
However, the opponent did not choose to thicken the formation. Instead, they deployed a three-directional crossfire to block their own route with the maximum firepower that 2,400 warships could unleash.
You know, we are not in a tight assault formation now, but in a straight line. There are only about 500 warships at the front of the array that can fire at the same time. How can we withstand the crossfire of the opponent's 2,400 warships
Stop and form an assault formation before moving forward? It's even more impossible. What we compete for now is speed. Once we stop, we will immediately be bitten on the side by Liang Xingchen's nearly 10,000 battleships. Then we are really doomed.
It seems that the only option is to charge hard and escape as much as possible, and then go to the asteroid belt to rely on terrain to block and stall for time, waiting for Lord Adams' follow-up fleet to arrive!
Cody made up his mind and immediately ordered the fleet to attack without regard to casualties.
At the same time, inside the flagship of the Fourth Fleet.
"Lin Fan is really clever. If it were me, I might just thicken the array and trade some casualties for the purpose of delaying the opponent!"
Liang Xingchen watched Lin Fan's changes and couldn't help but sigh. This kid's tactics were always so imaginative, just like the trick he showed in the graduation examination, which made him suffer a lot at that time.
"Adjutant, the first half of the fleet is heading to 045 and bites directly behind the opponent's right side. The second half of the fleet is heading to 020. After traveling 10 million kilometers forward, we want to turn to 090 and bite the opponent's tail. We will cooperate with Lin Fan to encircle him on three sides. , also inform the 1st to 5th Squadrons to do the same."
"yes!"
Jiang Hai had to admire Lin Fan at this moment. This kid was only 20 years old and he planned the entire war.
After this war is over, as long as he doesn't die, he will probably be promoted to lieutenant general and command a squadron based on his military exploits.
