Zhang Zhijie observed the battlefield in the distance with a solemn face, whether to rush forward with the fleet, this question has already turned a thousand times in his heart. After listening to Magnolia's question, Zhang Zhijie slowly shook his head and said, "Wait!" ”

This is just the beginning of the war, is it possible that the fleet that he has worked so hard to build can't support it at all? Zhang Zhijie was a little unwilling in his heart, and he still had a trace of expectations for Feng Haisheng.

Moreover, Feng Haisheng did not raise the flag for help, so Zhang Zhijie decided to calm down and continue to watch the battle. Not only Zhang Zhijie was worried, but all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who watched the battle were worried.

The officers and soldiers on Zhang Zhijie's boat all looked at the Admiral who was standing intently from time to time, but the Admiral was indifferent and did not issue an order, and they could only continue to watch the battle with worry.

The soldiers on the rest of the warship looked at the Admiral's boat from time to time, but the flag they were expecting did not appear.

The naval battle in the distance continued, Zhang Zhijie calmed down and quietly observed the battle situation on the sea in the distance, and finally discovered that since the three warships lost their combat power and withdrew from the battle circle, there were no warships in the naval fleet to continue to lose their combat power.

Zhang Zhijie has already seen that Feng Haisheng is constantly making adjustments, and has achieved good results. At least now it is at odds with the Portuguese fleet.

Not long after, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but wave his hand excitedly, because the Portuguese fleet also had a warship slowly retreating under cover, obviously losing its combat power.

Zhang Zhijie finally exhaled slowly, Feng Haisheng is good! Finally lived up to their expectations, and now the fleet has begun to get into shape.

The exchange of fire between the two sides continued, and both sides suffered damage, although on the whole the naval fleet suffered a slight loss, but the naval fleet was superior in numbers after all, and if it continued to be like this, the victorious side would be the naval fleet.

Zhang Zhijie has already made such a judgment, and the Indian governor has also made the same judgment, if he continues to wear down like this, the final result must be a great defeat and loss of his fleet!

The most important thing is that he does not dare to continue to consume at all, he has already lost the combat power of three warships, and one of them even has a broken mast and can no longer continue sailing.

However, the losses of the Ming fleet were not large, and only five ships lost their combat power! This is still because he seized an opportunity at the beginning, so three of the Ming sailors lost their combat power at once!

But now that the commander of the Daming fleet has commanded very carefully, he can't find another chance at all! On top of that, there are fifty Ming warships in the distance!

At this moment, the Indian governor no longer dares to despise the Ming fleet! So he had already thought of retreating, and if he did, a warship would inevitably be thrown here, because the warship had broken its mast and could not continue sailing.

It was really distressing and reluctant, but the Indian Admiral was a decisive person, and he knew the truth of constantly being in turmoil, so he decisively ordered the fleet to start retreating.

The Portuguese fleet broke away from the station circle and immediately set sail, and quickly left, leaving only a lone Portuguese warship to stay quietly on the surface.

Feng Haisheng also ordered the fleet to pursue, this was the Admiral's order earlier, and it was really thrilling in that battle just now, and Feng Haisheng still has lingering palpitations in his heart! It turned out that the fleet of Westerners was so powerful.

Feng Haisheng gathered the fleet, and the warships began to rescue the wounded, while the lone Portuguese warship had been surrounded. The Portuguese ship did not make any struggles, and now they had to surrender.

This battle is finally over, and it cannot be said who wins and who loses, but only whether they lose both. But even so, Zhang Zhijie was very excited. Although his own fleet was superior to fifty warships against thirty Portuguese warships, Portugal was already a powerful country across the seas, and the fleet of the Ming sailors had just recovered.

It is already very difficult to have such a result, and Zhang Zhijie is very satisfied with this! As long as it continues to develop, one day the Ming fleet will become the dominant maritime power in the East.

Zhang Zhijie, who breathed a long sigh of relief, sailed to the battlefield with the fleet, Feng Haisheng boarded Zhang Zhijie's boat, walked quickly and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhijie and said, "My lord, my subordinates have failed to command effectively, and I have disappointed my lordship." ”

Zhang Zhijie helped Feng Haisheng up with a smile, and said with a smile: "The first time to face the Westerners' fleet, it is not easy to have such a battle fruit, you have done a good job!" After going back, summarize the lessons and take them as a warning in the future! ”

Feng Haisheng responded with a little blushing when he heard this, he really felt that his command was not effective, he led fifty warships to meet the thirty warships of the Westerners, and he was actually knocked out three warships at the beginning! This made Feng Haisheng feel very embarrassed.

Fortunately, those warships have lost their combat power, and it will be good to repair them when they go back. If these warships were sunk, then Feng Haisheng really couldn't forgive himself.

After Zhang Zhijie comforted Feng Haisheng, he turned his attention to the Portuguese warship that was quietly parked there. This warship looked very miserable at this time, but Zhang Zhijie knew that it was just a look, as long as he was dragged to the Longjiang Shipyard for repairs, it would not be long before he could have an additional Western warship under his command.

Zhang Zhijie immediately ordered to approach the Portuguese warship, and if the other party refused to surrender, he would immediately shoot and wipe them out!

However, these Portuguese did not have any spirit of sacrifice, and when they saw the dense arquebuses around them, they had already raised their hands and planned to surrender!

The sailors' men soon rushed aboard the Portuguese ships, collected their arquebuses, and carried them to different ships in batches, with great cooperation in the process. As for this warship with a broken mast, Zhang Zhijie naturally would not let it go.

After a busy day, the soldiers of the sailor finally dragged the Western warship smoothly. The huge fleet began to set sail for the port of Quanzhou, because several warships were badly damaged and had to tow a Western warship, so the speed of the fleet was very slow.

However, Zhang Zhijie still felt a sense of high spirits, believing that this battle would not only impress the Portuguese on the Ming fleet, but also be widely spread!

In the future, after the news of the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty spreads, the fleets that come to the Ming trade will be much more honest. Moreover, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty will also be respected and revered when they go to sea to trade, because they have a powerful fleet behind them as a backing.
