As soon as they heard of the surrender, the whole conference room was immediately silent, and the eyes of all the officers were turned to the courageous officer, some were angry, some were disdainful, some were admired, some were encouraged, all kinds of eyes were intertwined, and even the commander of the fleet, Angel, had a solemn expression.

When the major officer named Saya saw this, he stood up very honorably and said proudly: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, as a naval officer of the Spanish Empire, I am ready to sacrifice my life for the empire at any time, but even if we die, we have to think about the empire, our Far East Fleet was temporarily established, there are 35 warships, tens of thousands of soldiers, are they all buried in the Far East?"

The warship is gone, and it can be rebuilt, but tens of thousands of skilled sailors and brave soldiers are difficult to replenish in a short period of time, and the most urgent thing in the empire now is the strength of troops, so I ask Your Excellency the Commander to consider it carefully. ”

Angel groaned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Could it be that surrender will guarantee that all the soldiers will return to Manila alive?" As a soldier, if you are in a desperate situation, I will not ask you to make senseless sacrifices, but surrendering without a fight is a shame for a soldier and a shame for the empire"

With that, Angel stood up and said: "Our fleet is not at the point where there is no way out now, we can divide the fleet into two formations, one to defend and one to move, a thousand yards away alternately, although slow, but safe, do you have different opinions?" ”。

As soon as this proposal came out, all the officers immediately discussed that the enemy's fleet was at a distance of 800 yards for both attacks, and the 1,000-yard movement alternately, and the range of artillery over 12 pounds could reach 1,800 yards.

This plan can be said to be the most secure method at present, if the enemy fleet wants to attack them, it can only fight hard with them, and they are not afraid, but what they most desperately want.

Saya stood up and retorted: "Your Excellency, Commander, when will our fleet return to Manila after sailing like this, thousands of nautical miles?" Besides, for such a long time, the supply can't keep up. ”

"We need supplies, doesn't the enemy need supplies?" Angel said coldly, then got up and walked to the bulkhead, pointed to the large map hanging on the bulkhead, and said: "Everyone, pay attention, we don't have to sail thousands of nautical miles, from Penghu to the Laovu town at the top of Luzon Island, there are only more than two hundred nautical miles, and when we get to Luzon, we will be safe." ”

Saya was also out of the way, but he was offended anyway, and immediately said: "It's a sea area that no one has ever walked before, and Your Excellency the Commander can ensure that there is no danger?" ”

"Even if there is danger, it is better than surrendering." Angel sneered.

Even if he tore his face, Saya was not to be outdone, and immediately replied: "The task of the Far East Fleet is to defend Manila and fight Penghu, it is your private decision, and you are responsible for the entire fleet and the lives of all soldiers." ”

These words can be said to have hit Angel's soft underbelly, and he was speechless for a moment, and the officers were also silent, many of whom were strongly in favor of coming to the Far East, and if they returned with a great defeat, the result would be very bad.

Ferrando also held a grudge, and then stood up again and said, "Your Excellency Commander, if the enemy has a main warship to catch up, how will we deal with it?" ”

Angel's face turned a little pale, and he paused before saying, "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and we will make a decision when there is a change." As he spoke, he said in a deep voice: "I order, early tomorrow morning, the fleet will be divided into two teams, and after receiving the soldiers who have come ashore, they will advance alternately towards Laoavo. ”

The next morning, when I saw the Spanish fleet slowly sailing out from the Four Corners Island under the cover of alternate cover, the generals of the Qing naval fleet couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the Spanish fleet's move, it was really amazing, there was a formation in a state of artillery waiting to fire at any time, although it was divided into two, but each formation could still fire hundreds of artillery salvos, the Qing fleet suddenly had a kind of dog bite hedgehog, helpless to eat.

At present, there are only twenty-three warships left in the navy, and only twenty-two can be used for combat after removing Yinzhen's ships, and they don't dare to risk fighting with them at all, so they can only watch them move slowly step by step.

Although the expected effect was achieved, Angel did not dare to be careless at all, he stood on the deck and carefully observed the lower fleet following far behind with a telescope, and his brows couldn't help frowning, today, those battleships have already hung up the flag, the pennant of the golden dragon on a red background.

Thinking of the Yellow Dragon pennant of the Great Qing Ocean Trade Fleet, Angel could finally determine that the enemy was the navy of the Great Qing Kingdom, and seeing that the other side had only twenty-three warships, he couldn't help but feel relieved, it seems that in yesterday's battle, the other side also lost two warships.

On the Qing warships that were slowly following outside the range of the Spanish fleet, many people were thinking about how to break the other party's alternate cover method.

Yinxiang watched the boat for a long time and said, "What a stupid and stupid way, when will they be able to return to Manila with this way?" I just don't believe that they can keep going this way for a long time? ”

"I don't have time to spend with them." Yinzhen said with a smile.

As soon as he heard this, several people on the ship looked over eagerly, and Yinzhen didn't sell it, and pointed out with a smile: "Stand diagonally and fight, let the four squads fight the battleships at both ends of the battle line, and fight at an oblique angle." With that, he crouched down, drew a simple sketch on the deck with water, and said, "Stand at an oblique angle and hit them four corners, and the Spanish fleet will collapse immediately." ”

Yinzhen got up and was about to order the summoning of four squads to come over, but when he saw that the five warships of Liu Zhisheng's squad had already been slanted over, Wu Ge asked worriedly: "Dean, do you want to summon them back?" ”

"Don't worry, take a look first, the situation is not right and then blow the trumpet." Yinzhen said with a smile: "The navy should deliberately cultivate and encourage officers to command and adapt to changes on the battlefield, and it must vigorously support new tactics. ”

While speaking, the five battleships of Liu Zhisheng's squad had been inserted into the left diagonal point of the Spanish fleet in a column, and Liu Zhisheng calmly ordered: "The left rudder is full, the starboard artillery is ready, the target, the sail of the outermost battleship." ”

With the order, the battleship made a beautiful arc, and the starboard gun was facing the outermost battleship.

"Full rudder left and starboard guns ready."

"Prepare - Open the cannon"

"Boom, boom, boom" The hull of the ship shook violently, Liu Zhisheng held on to the side of the ship, and ordered in a deep voice: "Return to the half-rudder and stay away." Then, he raised his binoculars and took a quick look, the sail area of the Western battleship was large, but the Spanish battleship only used small sails because it deliberately slowed down, so the results of this round of shelling were not ideal.

The four search warships that followed Liu Zhisheng also did the same, sliding past the shelling one by one from the left diagonal point. The sails and masts were missed, but the hull of the ship was hit by more than a dozen bullets.

Yinzhen looked at it with a telescope and nodded secretly, this Liu Zhisheng is indeed a good seedling, put down the telescope, and then he ordered: "Blow the trumpet, assemble." ”

The commander of the Spanish fleet, Angel, and a group of officers, saw this beautiful blow, their faces couldn't help but turn pale, the Qing Kingdom only dispatched five warships, not only far away from the diagonal range, but also in the blind spot of most of the artillery, but they could easily damage their one battleship, according to this way of playing, they had no chance to fight back at all, and could only watch one battleship after another be sunk.

Carlos said in a panic: "Your Excellency, Commander, they are a temptation, they will attack with two horns soon, and our fleet will still be eaten bite by bite, what should we do?" ”

Angel was also helpless, and his heart was even more depressed, ignoring Carlos's noise at all, and meditating on a countermeasure.

On Yinzhen's ship, Yinzhen did not hesitate to praise: "Liu Zhisheng fought beautifully this time, giving full play to the advantages of our artillery, so he fought according to this method." As he spoke, he spread out the sketch he had drawn and said: "The method that Liu Zhisheng just adopted is to shoot diagonally from a distance, which not only avoids most of the opponent's firepower, but also can effectively hit the enemy's warship.

Four squads, attacking from four diagonal points, leaving them overwhelmed. In addition, since the other party has adopted the method of alternate cover, let's no longer limit ourselves to hitting the sails, first sink a few of his ships fiercely, make them panic, and then think of another way to capture them.

If the Spanish fleet shrinks by this blow, you can attack from the dead angle of the opponent's guns such as the bow and stern of the ship, and hurt him first."

On the flagship of the Vanador, Angel looked at the four opposing points of the Qing country's four squadrons of warships to the four diagonal points of his fleet, and his face turned pale, he had served in the navy for most of his life, and he had never encountered such a passive situation, let alone fight back, and he didn't even have a chance to fight hard.

After raising the binoculars and looking at them for a long time, Angel said: "Order the fleet to raise its sails, turn around, and anchor and defend the island in the southeast." ”

As soon as the order was given, the Spanish fleet was immediately in a panic, and it was the most taboo to change formations and directions during the war, not to mention that the Spanish fleet was already in a panic, and at this time, where did it still care about the formation and formation, and one after another the warships rushed to raise their sails and gallop towards the southeast island, for fear of falling behind and becoming the enemy's target.

As soon as they saw the Spanish fleet raise its sails and turn, the formation was in chaos, how could Yande and the other four squads give up this great opportunity to attack, "catch up and fight hard from behind." ”

"That tripolar ship is lagging behind, knock out his sails, knock out his sails and seize it," Lin Wei shouted excitedly.

The rumbling cannon immediately sounded on the sea, and the Spanish battleship, which was already a frightened bird, had no time to care about whose warship was attacked, and they only cared about fleeing first.

When Liu Zhisheng and Del Xu's two teams saw that Lin Wei's team was attacking a three-pole battleship, they couldn't help but turn red-eyed, and they each bit a fourth-class battleship.

"Hit the sails, Lao Tzu aimed at the sails," Del Xuan opened his voice and shouted loudly.
