In this bloody battle with the Turkish fleet Cervantes shows amazing heroism, receives several severe gunshot wounds, one of which permanently deprives him of the use of his left arm. But Cervantes returns to the ranks and falls into captivity to the Algerian pirates, where he will spend five years...
