After Pinto received the signal from the other flagship, he actually expected that Louis's eagerness might be related to these sailing ships whose identity and purpose were unknown in the distant sea. In his temper, of course, it would have been to kill these little sailing boats, but unfortunately the attempts he had just made had proved that this idea was a bit unrealistic, and these little sailing ships were so fast that they were not so easy to catch.

"Maybe Louis thought of some way to get rid of these troubles?" Pinto subconsciously thought of this possibility.

At present, the transmission of information at sea can only be carried by relatively simple means such as flags or flares, and the amount of information that can be transmitted is extremely limited, and the two commanders really have to try to meet on the same ship if they want to negotiate tactics. Only then did the fleet inevitably have to stop for a moment so that one of the commanders could go to the other flagship in a dinghy.

Pinto did not dare to be careless, first mobilized the ships to deploy defensive means on the periphery of the fleet, and then ordered to slow down and stop sailing, and then the flagship "Valentine" lowered the dinghy, Pinto climbed down the ladder on the side of the ship, and the sailors rowed the dinghy to carry him to the flagship of the Manila fleet, the "San Diego".

When the Spanish fleet stopped to discuss countermeasures, the Haihan sailing ships in the distance also slowly reduced their speed and cruised on the sea in the distance, without completely leaving the field of vision of the Spanish fleet. This is even more obvious to their bad intentions, but fortunately, these ships are not equipped with any weapons at first glance, and there is no need to worry that they can directly threaten the safety of the fleet. Pinto, however, hoped that the ships would rush over at an unknown rate, as long as they were approached by his own sailboats, and the untrustworthy artillery would not be able to deal with them.

But Pinto's hopes did not materialize, and the ships carefully kept their distance from the Spanish fleet, with no intention of approaching. Pinto also did not expect that this Haihan galleon was equipped with a telescope, a reconnaissance weapon, and that it would not need to get too close to observe the details of the Spanish fleet.

As soon as Pinto boarded the San Diego, Luis succinctly informed him of his knowledge and speculations. Pinto's eyes widened as he listened, for he could hardly imagine how the magical skill described by Louis could be achieved.

"Louis, I think the Doge would be angry if he heard your ridiculous remarks. Pinto shook his head again and again, "What you said is just groundless speculation, and there is no evidence to prove that the Haihan people really mastered this ...... Technology. We should try to destroy these pesky flies in front of us now, instead of watching them have fun at sea!"

Louis said with a dark face: "Captain Pinto, what I just told you is not a conjecture, this is the information that our people exchanged their lives for! And the Governor also knows about this, but he can't announce it, so as not to affect the morale of the army!"

Pinto was half-convinced, "You mean, the Governor knew about this and deliberately kept it a secret?"

"It's for the sake of the big picture!" Louis didn't deny Pinto's claim, but immediately changed the subject: "Our whereabouts must not be exposed to the surveillance of Haihan, and we must find a way to make them disappear...... Or, we disappear on our own initiative. ”

"Shall we disappear on our own initiative?" Pinto frowned slightly, but immediately understood what the other meant: "You mean to get rid of them while the night is falling?"

Louis nodded in response, "There may not be much else to do." ”

At this time, it will be dark, and the sea after dark is indeed a good time to get rid of the tracking, but it is difficult to say whether it will be successful. This meant that the entire fleet had to be subject to light control, and the consequence of this was that the fleet could easily lose course in the dark. In addition, if the weather is clear, the outline of the ship can still be distinguished at a relatively close distance at night at sea, and if the other party closes the tracking distance, it may not be possible to completely conceal the whereabouts even if the light control is implemented. But now the Spanish fleet had nothing to do with the trackers, and could only try to get out of the entanglement at night. Whether you can succeed or not, you have to give it a try.

Pinto returned to his "Valentine" with a stomach full of questions, and although he still didn't quite believe that Haihan had any advanced technology to transmit information over the air, Louis kept saying that it was a reliable source of information, and he could only believe it for now. Moreover, Louis said that the governor deliberately concealed this kind of thing in order to stabilize the morale of the army, which sounds quite credible, and does not seem to be a plot made up by Louis.

The Spanish fleet continued on its way, and the sailing ships did not stop tracking, still following the fleet in the distance until the west. The ships of the Spanish fleet, on the other hand, were intensively preparing for the distances between them after dark, and they were to move forward in the dark at sea. This was a technical task without the slightest hint of water, and only the Spanish fleet, with its large number of experienced sailors, dared to take the risk of adopting it.

When the distance between the ships was shortened, the crew relied entirely on the naked eye to identify the silhouette of the ship in front of them, and followed them through the night. And those Haihan sailing ships that are far away from the fleet are very likely to lose their targets due to limited vision.

This mode of operation has high technical requirements for the crew, otherwise once it gets out of control in the dark and there is a collision between the ships, it will be more than worth the loss. Both Spanish commanders had full trust in their subordinates to choose this slightly riskier course of action. If that doesn't get rid of his opponent's entanglement, then Louis can't think of anything more effective.

I have to say that Louis's strategy was indeed very targeted, and the Haihan light reconnaissance ships following the rear of the Spanish fleet did not dare to get too close in the dark night. If this high-speed sailing ship were to get close enough to track, it could accidentally crash into the formation of the Spanish fleet. And if this light sailing ship with a displacement of only more than ten tons accidentally collided with a Spanish galleon, it would fall apart or capsize in a few minutes. Although the sailors on the ship were not afraid of the Spaniards, they could not use themselves as bargaining chips to gamble on this kind of small bet, not to mention that their main task had actually been completed, and the traces of the Spanish fleet had been informed of the Sanya base camp through the ship's radio after they were discovered.
