You use the appropriate tactical manoeuvre, hopefully honed during representative EW training, with countermeasures at the required points. If your manoeuvre robs more energy than your aircraft can make up then yes, you end up lower for the next shot. Rinse and repeat until at tree-top height. It can be quite exciting, especially when the large tanks you have pickled-off decide to say hello again as you evade ever downwards.
