"General... General..." After thinking for quite a while and forcing his foolish brain to keep working, the aide-de-camp finally spoke up, "Now, we can only fight a desperate battle to the end, we need to think of a way... to turn the tide."
He knew there was absolutely no way for them to run; before the exchange of cannon fire began, the Tang Army's fleet had already demonstrated their astonishing speed.
When the Shen Hai Navy just altered their course, the Tang Navy's warships managed to make a large detour and keep up with the Shen Hai Navy's change in direction.
In the face of such a vast difference in speed, any attempt to flee would be suicidal: they couldn't voluntarily withdraw from the battlefield, as that would only give the enemy the opportunity to chase them and systematically devour their forces.
If they only had cruisers and destroyers, there might have been a chance to scatter and flee, since these smaller warships were faster and had a better chance of escape.
