With an order, Baron Wallin's fleet began to advance, aiming directly at the Thunderhawk!

"Damn! Catch up with them, quick! Catch up with them!"

The entire huge fleet rushed forward, and this move was immediately discovered, and on the frigate, Fili, who was in charge of commanding the main force, was not slow to react, and immediately realized that the opponent's target was the Thunderhawk.

And he naturally can't let the other party get his way, as the flagship of the entire fleet, the Thunder Eagle must not have any mistakes, not only because of its strong combat effectiveness, but also because the status of the flagship cannot afford any mistakes, once the flagship is destroyed in the battle, their morale will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and the damage caused by this heavy blow is more serious than the loss of several warships.

Therefore, under his order, the main forces led by the frigate immediately adjusted their formation, and no longer flew around Baron Wallin's fleet, but directly inserted into the enemy's formation at an extremely fast speed, like a steel cone!

On the surface, Fili's approach was a bit reckless, because it was tantamount to taking the initiative to provoke a melee fight, which made the battle enter the most tragic stage at once.

But there is never a definite form of the battlefield, so if you analyze it in conjunction with the situation on the battlefield, you will find that Fili's decision does not seem to be wrong.

On the one hand, after the previous long-range encirclement and several rounds of bombardment, Baron Walling's fleet has suffered a lot of losses, at least seven to eight reconnaissance ships, of course, in the process Lodge's fleet also suffered a lot of losses, three of the seven old reconnaissance ships around the Thunderhawk were shot down, and the other four were also hit and suffered heavy losses, as for the main force led by Filly, it was relatively better, but two reconnaissance ships were shot down, and even the frigate where Filly was was shot down several times.

But in general, when the battle enters the current stage, the numerical superiority of the enemy is no longer so obvious.

On the other hand, Filly actually didn't plan to fight the enemy to the death, he planned to use the speed advantage of the airship 6 to disrupt the enemy's formation, and divide Baron Wallin's fleet with the speed advantage, as long as he could do this, the other party's idea of eating the Thunderhawk in one fell swoop would not be realized.

The Thunderhawk is a real big guy, and unless it's a flagship-to-flagship, it's impossible to shoot it down with a small number of reconnaissance ships.

Being able to think of such a way to resolve the crisis on the battlefield, Philip is indeed a talent, so in the subsequent, the fleet led by the frigate and the main force of the airship 6 reconnaissance ship quickly approached the enemy, and in this process, the speed advantage of the airship 6 was completely brought into play, and the distance of hundreds of meters was quickly shortened, followed by the two sides entering the stage of dog-tooth staggering.

"Fire!"

With Filly's roar, the gunners on the deck immediately vented their cannon fire on the enemy, because they had already rushed into Baron Wallin's fleet, and the nearest enemy ship was even only a dozen meters away, making the powerful firepower of the frigate truly reflected at this moment!

The two main guns and thirteen secondary guns opened fire in unison, and the powerful firepower network instantly enveloped a reconnaissance ship, which was instantly plugged into a plug, and it exploded directly before it even had time to return fire.

"Hurry forward! Hurry ......!"

While constantly firing cannons, Filly did not forget to direct the battleship to move forward quickly, because his goal was to tear the enemy formation, not to fight the enemy, so the fleet had to continue to advance while carrying out heavy artillery bombardment, otherwise it would be troublesome.

But as soon as he shouted, there was a sudden violent shaking on the deck, which made him fall directly.

Shot!

Although the frigate that broke into the enemy line was able to vent its own fire, it also became the enemy's main target, so while the fire of the magic cannon continued to shine, the frigate's defense net was also shining with speckled lights, indicating that the enemy's fire was concentrated on it.

The defense net of the Scavenger Type 1 can withstand artillery attacks with a magic power of less than 500, while the enemy's reconnaissance ships are all Cheetah 2, and the power of its magic cannon is only 450 points, which is just below 500, so it is theoretically impossible to be injured unless the magic energy of the Scavenger Type 1 is exhausted.

But don't forget, Baron Walling's fleet also has a flagship!

When Philip led the fleet straight into the enemy's formation, the enemy's flagship, the Baron, also began to wield!

As a flagship, the Baron is no worse than the Thunder Eagle in all aspects, if you don't count the rune strengthening, the Baron is even stronger in terms of firepower, with fifteen secondary guns, but five main guns!

So when Filly led the fleet straight into the enemy line, intending to divide the enemy, the Baron aimed all the guns at his frigate, and after a salvo, the Scavenger 1 was directly hit by one of the main guns!

The powerful main gun went straight through the defensive net, and then fell heavily on the hull, easily blasting a hole in the frigate's hull!

At the same time, the reconnaissance ships of both sides also began to fire fiercely at each other, and in the short moment of passing each other, a total of ten warships were shot down on both sides!

This is an air battle, shocking and at the same time extremely tragic!

The dog-tooth melee caused heavy losses to both ships, but it came and went quickly, and the troops led by Fili had an advantage in speed after all, so when he broke into the enemy's formation, he quickly broke through it, although the loss was not small, but after all, the tactical goal was achieved, and the fleet of Baron Wallin was successfully split in two!

In order to accomplish this goal, the losses of the main force led by him can be said to be very huge, and when he led the fleet to cross the enemy's entire formation and rush out again, the reconnaissance ships that followed him had changed from thirteen at the beginning to eight!

That is to say, this time he broke through, he lost five reconnaissance ships! This is also a helpless thing, because the advantage of the airship type 6 is only speed, although the firepower has been strengthened by Orton's runes, but the defense is still too poor, and it is very vulnerable in short-handed combat.

At the same time, Filly's frigate also suffered heavy damage, and was hit by the Baron's main guns twice, resulting in a large hole in the hull, a hole in the deck, and even three secondary guns.

In comparison, Baron Volyn's fleet losses were smaller, losing only three reconnaissance ships in total, and the flagship did not suffer any damage.

In this round of encounters, it was clearly Baron Walling's side that had an absolute advantage.

However, although the losses were huge, Filly's tactics succeeded, and he succeeded in dividing Baron Walling's fleet into two parts and stopping ten reconnaissance ships, so that the enemy who broke through to the Thunderhawk was greatly reduced.

"Damn! Keep rushing! As long as we can destroy the opponent's flagship, we will win!"

The middle-aged man in charge of the command on the Baron shouted.

At this time, there were only seven reconnaissance ships left around the Baron, and the rest of the reconnaissance ships were dragged behind by Fili, which made the middle-aged man in charge of the command have to make a desperate bet and continue to target the Thunderhawk.

He is right in doing this, the war has been going on for so long, and the troops on both sides have suffered heavy losses, at this time it depends on whose large battleships can hold out to the end, and although there are two large warships in Lodge's fleet, they are scattered, which means that as long as Baron Walling's fleet can shoot down the Thunderhawk, then the main force on Lodge's side is only one frigate.

An ordinary frigate faces a flagship, and it is clear that Baron Wallin's side has the better chance of winning.

So even if the troops are divided, the enemy's command still decides to destroy the Thunder Eagle first, as long as the Thunder Eagle can be sunk, then the remaining frigates and the rest of the reconnaissance ships can be eliminated by turning their heads, and then they will win the battle!
