Hang up the flag, of course, the flagship doesn't care, disband the formation, and let the ships below watch and fight by themselves.

This is also a tactic of the British Royal Navy, called "chaotic warfare" or "melee warfare", which is an extremely test of the command level of the captains of each ship, the training level of sailors, and the actual combat experience.

A truly high-level navy can still cooperate in the midst of chaos when it comes to "chaotic warfare" and "melee," and it is false chaos, not real chaos, and it is the enemy who is really disrupted.

Since the era of sails, the British Royal Navy has been a master of disrupting wars and melees, often taking the initiative to disband the formation when the force is not dominant or the situation is unfavorable, and then launch an attack to disrupt the enemy's array, and then rely on its own higher command and training level to win in the chaotic war. The only one in history that could compete with the British Royal Navy in chaos and melee was the navy of the Dutch Republic, which was still a coachman at sea.

And now, seeing that the formation battle could not be won, George. The law of righteousness can only sacrifice the old methods of disrupting wars and melee battles.

Seeing that the Revenge hung out the "no matter the flag", the three second-class protected cruisers such as the Leander, the Mersey River, and the Eris, which had been following the Revenge and the Indomitable to "play soy sauce", immediately turned around and rushed out of the formation, but they did not fight alone, but each brought a destroyer and formed three two-ship formations, while the remaining two torpedo boat destroyers ran to the side of the Vengeance and the Indomitable, escorting the two "bosses" to continue to wander around the battlefield.

The Revenge and the Indomitable did not continue in their original formations, and they also formed two twin formations with the incoming destroyers.

The two Japanese gunboats, Echigo and Mino, who had been fighting soy sauce since the beginning of the engagement, also formed a two-ship formation and began to retreat in the direction of Koji Island.

In addition, the four camouflaged assault ships led by the one-eyed dragon Saigo have long been missing......

"Sir, the British have disbanded the formation!"

Zhuge Weidao, who was holding a telescope and staring at the Revenge on the Lushun, once again sounded Wang Wen's voice in his ears.

"Disbanded...... Want to run? Zhuge Weidao hurriedly turned the telescope and looked around, only to find that the British did not run away, but launched a charge.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"They're going to mess up!" Wang Wen smiled and said, "Sir, now our chance has come!" ”

Of course Zhuge Weidao knows what "chaotic war" is? However, he also knew that the Ming Navy would not actually disrupt the war...... The Ming Navy lacks actual combat experience, and officers and soldiers who have not fought in a war are most afraid of chaos!

But Wang Wen smiled so brightly!

Zhuge Weidao hurriedly used his brain to think about it again, and he really came up with it - the Ming Navy has the advantage of informatization, and it is the informatization navy of the 19th century!

Although since the previous encounter with those camouflaged ships, the four warships of the Ming Navy are both flags and lights, which seem to be very informatized, but in fact, these four ships have radio transceivers!

Therefore, these four warships can completely conduct over-the-horizon chat, and no matter how chaotic the battlefield is, they can also cooperate with each other.

"Sir, the flagship Vladivostok telegraph, let's release the smoke and rush south out of the Kiyin Waterway...... Then sail southwest to Cape Muroto. In four hours, Vladivostok will join our ship ten nautical miles south of Cape Muroto. ”

"Rushing out of the Ji Yin Waterway?" Zhuge frowned for Dao, "There is no enemy fleet ambush outside Ji Yin Waterway?" ”

"Sir," Wang Wen hurriedly reminded, "we have an early warning airship deployed over the Tsushima Strait, and when we encountered those camouflaged ships, the radio station of the flagship Vladivostok must have already summoned them to arrive, and it may have almost flown over the Kiyin Waterway by now." If there is an ambush, we will know for sure. ”

Dimensionality reduction strike!

Zhuge thought to himself: "Airship early warning, telegraph communication...... If you can have some precision-guided weapons, this is the face of the Wyvern! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Wen said again: "The terrain of Cape Muroto is conducive to setting up an ambush, as long as there is an airship in the sky to command, we will definitely be able to catch the British off guard at Cape Muroto!" ”

There is really precision guidance!

Zhuge Weidao's confidence increased greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Turn around, go south, and release smoke...... Full speed out! ”

......

"Sir, the four warships of the Ming Navy are releasing smoke and retreating separately."

In the command tower of the Revenge, George was holding a telephone receiver and talking to the captain of the damage management team. Yilu suddenly heard the news that the Ming warships were scattered and retreated, which surprised him. He quickly put down the phone, walked to the window in three or two steps, raised his binoculars and looked south, and found that there were indeed four clouds of smoke on the sea.

"Scattered retreat?" George. Yilu was a little puzzled, "Why are they scattered?" ”

"Your Excellency, I think they scattered and broke out of the siege to ensure that at least one warship broke out of the Kiyin waterway and sent the news of the attack by the British Royal Navy back to the Ryukyu base or Kushiro base in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Answer George. The problem with Yoshiro is Shimazu Qiliang, who has gauze wrapped around his head, he fell headfirst in the explosion just now, but his life is not in danger, so he can still frown and George. Righteousness speaks.

"Scattered breakout? They were worried ...... "George. Yilu said, "Our two countries set up an ambush outside the Kiyin Waterway? ”

"They must have thought it was a deliberate attack!" Shimazu Qiliang frowned, "The current situation...... Will the Ming use this as an excuse to go to war against the British Empire? ”

"At war? How dare they ...... "George. The heart of righteousness sank.

It's hard to say what the situation is now!

Originally, the purpose of his coming to Japan from afar was to fight with the Ming Dynasty, to explore the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, to see if Japan was worthy of the full support of the British Empire.

But now, the British Empire and the fleet have just fought with the Ming fleet, which is far inferior to itself on paper...... Apparently it has suffered a loss!

If this can't be brought back, when the Ming court knows, it will definitely reassess the strength of the British Empire, and even if it does not start a full-scale war with the British, it will definitely adopt a more radical strategy. And Japan may also fall to the Ming Dynasty...... In this way, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any worries in East Asia!

Come to think of it, George. Yilu said to his cousin Charlie. Yilu said: "Give the unyielding number the flag, let it come up, I want to replace the flagship." ”

The replacement of the flagship, of course, is to continue the fight!

Now the Revenge could no longer fight, and had to be docked for overhaul - both turrets were gone, and the front and rear ammunition depots were filled with water, and it was estimated that it would take months to repair. I don't know if I can fix it in Japan?

So George, who was not willing to fail. The law of righteousness can only ascend the unyielding trumpet.

One arm wrapped in gauze around Charlie, who hung on his chest. Yilu stood up and replied loudly, "Yes, sir." ”

Shimazu Qiliang did not accompany George. Yilu went to take an adventure, and he hurriedly said to George. Yilu said: "Your Excellency, I will not accompany you to continue the battle with the Ming Navy...... I must report the misunderstanding that happened in the waters near the island to the general as soon as possible, and perhaps there will be a diplomatic solution! ”

George. Yoshiro nodded: "Then Your Excellency will take the Revenge to Osaka......" He paused, and then said, "If the Japanese Empire is determined to fight, the British Empire will definitely give all the necessary assistance, and it will be quite a considerable aid!" ”

George who is ready to transfer to the battleship Indomitable to make a last-ditch fight to Kiyin Waterway. Yilu never imagined that his enemy was an advanced "information-based navy"! Just when he was changing the flagship, the radio stations on the Lushun and Vladivostok had been successively on the headquarters of the Beiyang Fleet of the Ming Navy and the staff of the Ming Navy.

After receiving the news, Zhuge Weiyi, the secretary of the Ming Admiralty, and Zhuge Weiyong, the chief of staff of the Ming Navy, were all a little confused, and quickly talked to the two prime ministers on the phone, and then went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion together to discuss countermeasures with the two prime ministers.
