"Swish!"

A huge chart was spread on the table. Yang Hao put the ship model representing both sides of the enemy and us on a slap, straightened his waist, and said to Ding Liu and others: "Look, this is where our two armies are currently. My fleet is taking the Japanese army in circles, but no matter what, they will arrive in the Jiangkou area tonight at the latest. If you look back now, it will be too late."

His eyes were still red, staring at the two of them without any emotion, and his lips raised up as if they were smiling, just waiting for their answers.

Ding Ruchang's face looked bitter, with only anxiety and his body trembled slightly, but he didn't know if he was angry or afraid.

Liu Buchan took a step forward and tapped his fingers on the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet sailing north near the Goryeo Peninsula. He sighed with regret: "If the court had been willing to pay for this batch of warships, why would we have to be so worried today?"

What else can he say? He didn't ask for more warships at the beginning. Yes, the Japanese were making trouble in it, and the Chilean lions spoke up to take advantage of the situation. But compared to the success or failure, the value of those silver dollars!

Everyone knows where the money has gone, but who dares to say something? Everyone knows that Li Zhongtang doesn’t want to fight, and he keeps talking and keeps saying "protecting the ship." But now the purpose is to sink all your ship, and even burn your boat to the end, and the whole country is willing to do so.

This account is really impossible to settle.

Ding Ruchang looked around and finally shook his head helplessly: "I can't win! I can't win! The strength of the enemy and us is so different, and we always try our best, but if we retreat, we will have no face to meet the elders of Jiangdong in the future. Oh, it's hard. It's really hard!"

He is the hardest person to be a human being in the middle.

As the navy admiral, he must win in foreign wars to ensure the dignity of the court and fulfill his duties as a soldier. But as Li Zhongtang's most trusted subordinate, he must consider not to lose too much in the battle. If the Beiyang Navy's strength is greatly damaged, the entire Huai Army will definitely be greatly reduced. Li Zhongtang was impeached or even stepped down from the country, and his nest was destroyed without any end. Those subordinates must be in trouble.

As the saying goes, one prospers and one loss is a dilemma!

Liu Buchan instead acted willingly and snorted coldly with his neck, "You can win if you fight or not, you have to try it before you know! Now that the sword and the brigade are at the city, where can we hide? Turn around, the soldiers on the ship will not reach Goryeo. If the battle fails there, we will not be able to escape. My opinion is to fight!"

Ding Ruchang just shook his head, not opposing it, but felt that he would not win anyway.

Previously, the comparison of the naval strength between China and Japan. Guowen Daily reported it countless times, and everyone in the navy is clearly known.

Today, the strength of the Japanese army has increased sharply. Not only has the previous losses been made up, but a giant ship is also added. With such an absolute advantage, they will die if they go up.

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything to retreat, Yang Hao said, "If Ding Junmen is willing to make a decision and fight the Japanese army to the death, we may not have no chance to beat him. Both sides will be injured! Even if we cannot escape unscathed, we can still curb the Japanese ambitions. In a short period of time, we will not be able to run rampant at sea."

"Oh? Can you ask Mr. Yang, will you come out?"

Ding Ruchang was in a little spirit, and his face showed a look of hope. He didn't want to be a turtle with his head shrink. There was a way for anyone to be scolded by someone poked his back!

Liu Buchan had a bright look, staring at Yang Hao and waited for him to reveal the mystery.

Yang Hao asked first: "First of all, I have to know whether the navy has already made it clear. The formations you have developed before are basically unworkable because the speed of the entire speed is too slow?"

Ding Ruchang sighed and nodded helplessly.

In the past, because of the strength of the two ironclad ships, the tactical formations chosen by the Beiyang Fleet were mostly led by two ships to attack the enemy formation, and then they pressed on the fights tightly, and defeated the enemy in one go.

However, as the warship equipment ages, the overall technical level is out of date, and most of them cannot be broken. Because of Li Hongzhang's repeated warnings, they almost subconsciously choose to preserve the formation of two iron armored ships. That is the most deadly type.

Yang Hao was afraid that they would not be able to turn, but now he breathed a sigh of relief. He moved the ship model on the chart and formed an oval formation.

In this formation, the two iron armored cruisers, "Jingyuan" and "Laiyuan" were pointed and advanced together. With "Dingyuan", the two iron armored ships of "Zhenyuan" followed closely, but were away from each other, acting as the main attack fireman and shield to resist the enemy's incoming artillery fire.

Further down, the four ships of Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Pingyuan and Zhenyuan were dragged back and arranged in an order, forming an arc-shaped tail, but wrapped Guangyi and GuangC, which were installed with a new 120mm rapid-fire gun in the middle.

The five cannons were replaced with the tail cannons two far away, and the remaining three were two in Guangyi and one in Guangyi.

Finally, Chaoyong and other ships led a torpedo attack ship group, hiding behind and waiting for an opportunity to move.

Yang Hao explained: "The Japanese army will definitely use the one-line column formation that they are most skilled and suitable for their combat ship characteristics. At that time, they will be guided by the powerful first guerrillas, taking the enemy and opening fire, trying to disrupt our formation, and then concentrate their firepower and annihilate them one by one! Even if one or two ships were not killed at that time, they could still deal with each other and circulate and circulate. They will start from the perspective of our weak firepower."

The Japanese army's formation remains unchanged, with many ships, fast speed, rapid-fire guns, and high maneuverability. No matter how hard the Beiyang Fleet is trying to find opportunities to fight, it is difficult for them to catch their opponents. They can only fly kites in circles and calmly remove other small boats with weak armor.

Now the other party has several more fierce new warships, and even the two ships of Dingzhen are not safe. They divide their troops and fight, just seeking death.

Yang Hao slapped in the middle of the formation: "The only strategy is to keep our formation consistent and compact from beginning to end. With the heavy iron armor of the two ships in Dingzhen, it gave the opponent a heavy blow, forcing him to finally give up."

To put it bluntly, two big meat shields were used to resist, and the other warships violently issued long-range strikes, exchanging their lives for life until the other party could not stand it.

This is purely a fight in the world. Let’s see who is more ruthless than who!

Ding Ruchang's beard was trembling. Can this be achieved? He went to fight to the death. If he was not careful, he would have to finish the entire fleet. How could he fulfill Li Zhongtang's request?

Liu Buchan understood and said sternly: "We feel sorry for the ship, but the Japanese are afraid they feel even more distressed! The Qing Dynasty has strong financial resources and can buy it again without the ship. The little Japanese sold their money and paid off their foreign debts. They lost money in one hand, so what did he pay it back?"

This whole thing is two desperate gamblers making their last attempt. No one can afford to lose, and no one will admit defeat.

Yang Hao was afraid that they would give up. In addition, he had to be careful that some people would fall out at critical moments and reminded him again: "In addition, I would like to give you a suggestion, that is, don't sank the officers and soldiers at any time with the warships. The warships are just steel creations. If they are gone, they can be renewed in three or two years. But if they are gone, how many years will it take to cultivate them?"

Even if Liu Buchan is one of them, he vowed that "if the ship dies, he will be punished." They died happily and are brave enough. But what should the country do? This group of elite naval soldiers was cultivated for twenty years. They can't just be ruined.

Liu Buchan did not answer this. He was tough and it was difficult for anyone to persuade him to turn back on what he had determined.

Yang Hao only needs to lift another card: "The reason why I say this is that there are still some forces to help. The armed cargo ship that came this time is more advanced and powerful than the last time, and can act as a guerrilla shooter on the periphery, giving great restraint to the Japanese army. In addition, there are four gunboats below, with speeds above 30 knots and artillery can also be fired 13 kilometers away. Although the power is insufficient, it is enough to harass it. If the Japanese army does not want to be seriously injured and be killed in the retreat, they will never dare to give it a try."

"Oh? If this is the case?!"

The two generals' eyes widened. At this time, they were not allowed to consider whether the Yang family had private soldiers or bad intentions. They could help solve the current troubles. Those offending people should be considered by people of Li Zhongtang!

Yang Hao smiled and nodded, Liu Buchan first slapped the table and shouted: "Okay! Then let's go out and fight with the Japanese invaders!"

Ding Ruchang's beard stopped shaking, glanced at Yang Hao meaningfully, and stared at Liu Buchan and said, "In this battle, I am standing on the ship. As long as the troops are arranged and the command is in charge, it depends on Lord Liu to take responsibility. How about it?"

Liu Buchan turned solemnly and saluted: "I will never let down the entrustedness of the Lord!"

Then, Yang Hao spent his time asking them to arrange everything to follow the flagship. If the flagship exits, the second warship will take over the many meticulous tasks. Although these things have been promoted through newspapers, he does not know how much the navy masters can listen to.

Finally, Yang Hao left a communication group of two people, and in the commander's tower, he was responsible for contacting the fleet with a wireless telegraph.

These two things surprised the two adults, and they felt unfathomable about Yang Hao's power. Radio, which was just invented by Westerners and had not been put into use, right? He actually had such a small and portable one? No wonder he was so well-informed!

However, Yang Hao also repeatedly demanded from them that he would never disclose it to any foreign devil, otherwise it would cause countless troubles to the Yang family.

Of course, Ding Ruchang knew the importance of the matter, so he immediately arranged a cabin himself, guarded by two trusted guards. He pulled an antenna from above as required, and he was busy working hard.

After all the troubles, time was approaching night.

Yang Haiwei led the First Guerrillas to walk around the northern part of the Yellow Sea. After it was completely dark, Yokozo Tsukii dared not chase after him.

If the other party is a group of "ghost ships", then the level of night shelling is so high that it is definitely not something that the Japanese fleet can defend. In addition, the method of randomly venting mines, the price of sinking a few ships is really unbearable.

Fortunately, their current position is closer to our team again, and they are about twenty kilometers apart, slightly staggering. Hirosan Tingii made a quick decision, gave up going around in circles, and continued to search north along the coastline. It is important to do serious things.

In addition, after this day, most of the Yellow Sea was drawn by them, but they also completed the search mission. The area where the Beiyang Navy might be in is already very small. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
