The gap exposed by their split strike group was just passed by Long Yan's supply ship.
Samuel never imagined that the enemy would adopt such an attack method. It was simply crazy to do so.
But doing so did cause them huge losses.
Because the side gunners did not have enough reaction time, they encountered an artillery attack the moment Long Yan Navy approached from the front.
Thanks to Long Yan's preemptive approach, the British battleship didn't have much reaction time at all.
By the time they tried to stop it, it was already too late!
Ten battleships, the gap opened is enough for three battleships to pass through without any obstruction.
Samuel saw the dragon flame fleet breaking through their siege and sailing into the distance.
I feel angry!
"Cunning Dragon Flame Man!"
The most precious fighter plane has been lost, and they can no longer catch up with Long Yan's army.
Wu Kunpeng, who had successfully broken through, looked at the two British battleships sunk by them in the distance and smiled.
"Captain, the captain of the ocean-going ship sent a message saying that the fight just now was really enjoyable!"
Wu Kunpeng laughed and said nothing more.
Although they have successfully withdrawn their troops now, if there is a slight deviation in the battle just now, what awaits them will be annihilation!
Surrounded by ten Dreadnought-class battleships, they only had three ships.
It is very difficult to break through.
But I didn't expect that in the end, I would be able to sink two enemy battleships.
However, the joy of surviving the disaster was quickly taken over by reason. Since they were attacked by the British army here, it means that the British Navy has implemented a blockade here.
This is not good news, it can even be said to be the worst news.
The three Longyan supply ships led by Wu Kunpeng came to the Atlantic Ocean to explore the way for the incoming Longyan fleet.
But now it seems that the situation is more dangerous than they imagined.
If the Longyan Army wants to reach the battlefield quickly, it must pass through this route, and Britain's naval blockade will disrupt their combat plan.
There are only less than three days away from the arrival of the Longyan fleet.
If the Dragon Flame Fleet breaks out in a fierce battle with the British Fleet at sea.
The supplies and various military supplies on the fleet, as well as the army supporting America, will be stranded at sea.
This matter must be reported as soon as possible and a suitable combat plan must be formulated.
After thinking of this, the troops led by Wu Kunpeng returned to Yuncheng and quickly sent a telegram to the Long Yan fleet still at sea.
Ling Chen was currently on the deck looking at the endless sea with Diana.
At this moment, General Li He came over with a telegram.
After Li He removed his armor from Australia, he came to Longyan.
Originally, he was going to retire, but the parliament did not approve it, even though he was occupying a false position.
Nor was he allowed to retire.
Until now, Britain and Long Yan clashed again, and Li He was ordered to expedition to America!
He will be in charge of the Navy!
"Commander, we're calling from Yuncheng."
Ling Chen took it and took a look at it, then looked at Li He and asked, "General Li, I don't understand maritime warfare. You have more experience in this matter than me. What do you think we should do?"
"According to the content of the letter, Britain has blocked the route to America. If we enter by force, a battle will definitely be inevitable."
"It's not impossible to fight, but the supply ship now carries dragon flame soldiers and those heavy weapons!"
"I think the safest way now is to land in Florida, which is our control area, and let the Longyan soldiers board the battlefield from there."
"And we are fighting the British Navy at sea and returning to the combat zone on the coastline."
This is indeed a way to avoid losses, but it is not perfect.
"The distance from Florida to the battlefield in the north is too far, and our troops have no way to reach the battlefield in a short time."
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Ling Chen thought about it and said again.
After hearing this, Li He thought for a while and said: "Then we will divide our troops into two groups! Attack Quebec directly along the way!"
"Take the opportunity to land all the way!"
Ling Chen's eyes lit up: "Surround Wei and rescue Zhao!"
"Found in the east and attack in the west!"
The two looked at each other and both thought this idea was wonderful.
…
At this time, on the American battlefield.
Philadelphia.
After the British army captured Saratoga Bay, they divided their forces into two groups to attack Philadelphia and Virginia.
At this time, on the battlefield in Philadelphia!
This is America's heart, the most important place.
General Vino led troops from Boston to support.
America can lose anywhere, but Philadelphia can never make a mistake.
Philadelphia garrisoned 10,000 troops, and General Vino brought 5,000 reinforcements.
"General Vino, maybe we should think of another way to fight. We only have fifteen thousand troops!"
Vino looked at the congressman in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Pano, Philadelphia cannot make any mistakes. The British army will never occupy this city before I die!"
This sentence was resounding. Pano looked at Vino's firm eyes and read his determination.
He was very pleased that America could have such an excellent general.
"It's so reassuring to have you guarding Philadelphia."
"But general, I have to remind you one thing. Britain's army has a total of thirty thousand people!"
"Twice as big as us!"
"French reinforcements are trapped in Preston!"
"Long Yan's reinforcements went to support Virginia, but we only have 15,000 men, 200 artillery pieces, 6,000 muskets, and 400 horses."
"The enemy is far stronger than us. It's not that I don't believe in your courage, General Vino, but we must consider what will happen if we lose the battle?"
"There are still 100,000 civilians in Philadelphia, and these are the people who have no way to evacuate."
"If you lose and the Britons occupy this city, what will happen to these 100,000 people waiting for them? Regarding all this, we must know a precise plan of action."
"Otherwise, our operations will be gambling with the lives of these civilians!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole air became solemn.
As a soldier, making a plan to win the battle and making accurate commands are what they need to do.
It never occurred to Vino to plan a defeat.
This will be extremely difficult, and it is a betrayal of his belief in victory!
Vino looked at Congressman Pano and saw that his thin body had unshakable power!
He took a deep breath, knowing that if he didn't make this plan, the other party would never let him go.
"I know Lord Pano, if defeat is inevitable, then I will cover the people's retreat."
