However, Manzheng tied himself to the captain's cabin. The hull of the treasure ship was huge and the bumps were not so severe. He ordered the oarsmen to also tie their bodies and row wildly towards the enemy, cutting off a batch and replacing them with new ones. Only the oars were replaced.

It knocked out more than a dozen sailors, and I don’t know if any unlucky ones were killed.

It seems that the speed is still very slow. It is estimated that when the storm is over, it will not be able to row in front of the enemy.

Manzheng said again: "Raise the sails!"

"Commander, in such a big wind and wave, the sail will be blown off the mast!" the deputy reminded.

"Raise the sails!" Man Zheng shouted.

As a result, the sailors on the treasure ship could only tie themselves with ropes and stagger around to raise the sail. The scene was like a collective swing.

This time the speed was much faster, the jib was moving forward with the wind, and a treasure ship broke into the Portuguese fleet of sixteen ships alone.

A huge wave threw up the treasure ship, and then smashed it down hard. The bow of the ship directly knocked a big hole out of a Portuguese ship.

Manzheng felt his whole body shake, and a large group of sailors operating the sails were knocked unconscious in an instant. Fortunately, they were tied up with ropes and did not fall into the sea.

"Madman, the other side's commander is madman!" Simon couldn't stand still, holding the mast and feeling dizzy.

"boom!"

However, one of the treasure ship's masts broke off and was thrown violently. Not only did it create a gap in the side of the ship, it also smashed the enemy ship in front of it into pieces.

There was no way to be more reckless. No matter what Man Zheng ordered, the sail operator, who was still able to move, pretended not to hear or see.

The storm lasted for five hours, and neither side could form a formation. The treasure ship was surrounded by enemies.

Manzheng untied the ropes on his body, rubbed his forehead and went out, then kicked the crew member's butt: "Everyone who can move, get up, I'm going to show off my power!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The bombardment from both sides officially started, and the Portuguese had no time to gather their formations, so they just bombarded the treasure ship anyway. Other warships of the Ming Dynasty came to the rescue one after another. Ning Botao took the bird boat and led his team to join the attack despite the gunfire.

At this time, there was a favorable wind, and the rigid square-sailed bird ship was so fast that it rushed in front of the enemy ship in an instant, only taking one cannonball in the process.

When the two ships met each other, their respective cannons fired, and the ballistas of the Ming Navy also began to use their power.

The ballista didn't fire any rockets, but the close range fire caused screams to spread across the opponent's deck.

After officially docking, Ning Botao jumped off the rope. This former Taihu water bandit rushed into the crowd with a knife, and blood spattered from the knife in his hand.

As long as the connection is successful, there is almost no suspense, because the Ming Dynasty Navy has many people!

When Portugal attacked Malacca, in such an important battle, they only sent out a thousand troops. Twenty to thirty thousand Malacca soldiers were defeated and fled - Malacca was still defending the city.

As for the Malacca Fleet that Portugal had just established, the number of warships was similar to that of the Qiantang Navy. Simon only brought eight warships this time, and the remaining ten were all armed merchant ships. The largest main ship was only 600 pieces.

The strength of the Chinese treasure ship is equivalent to the total number of personnel of the Portuguese fleet in front of us.

"Captain, the Sequoia has been robbed!"

Simon turned his head and looked around, and sure enough he saw one of his warships raising the flag of the Qiantang Navy.

"Boys, come with me!"

Deputy Qianhu Dai Zhiquan, seeing that Ning Botao was winning, he also rushed over with a bird boat.

What kind of artillery battle?

Joining others is a man's romance!

As for Man Zheng, relying on the strength of the ship and the power of the artillery, he sat on the treasure ship and just blasted. Those two-thousand-jin cannons were so powerful that whenever they hit, they would blast a big hole.
