During the war on the Southern Front, with the most famous generals of this period, who helped Louis XIV establish a powerful French Tirena in history. The joining of the Great Condor, the coalition forces immediately changed their strategy and no longer occupied Portuguese territory step by step, but instead directly attacked the dragon's cave.

According to the negotiations between these two famous generals, they believed that the reason why the Portuguese resisted so firmly was because behind them, there was the existence of the Portuguese king.

As long as the coalition forces captured Lisbon and captured Theodosio, the Portuguese would lose their spiritual leader and thus lose their resistance.

In this guiding principle, the army leaders of Britain, France, Spain and other countries pointed directly at Lisbon, and they ignored the necessary cities along the way, except for the necessary cities that must be captured.

In this way, the harassment of the coalition forces in Portugal became insignificant.

The same is true. When the multinational coalition forces arrived directly to Lisbon, it far exceeded Theodosio's estimate, which caused his confidence in waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Empire to suffer a severe blow.

The Portuguese near Lisbon all retreated into Lisbon and prepared to defend their capital and their last fortress.

However, the situation is getting worse and worse.

On the sea, in addition to the fleets of Britain, France, the Netherlands and Spain, the Swedish fleet was actually led by its famous general Karl Gustav Flanger.

Obviously, this piece of fat meat in Portugal has attracted too many people who want to eat.

As a result, the multi-national fleet blocked Lisbon reached 600. This was unprecedented in the history of European wars.

On land, the army of the multinational coalition finally arrived. Outside Lisbon, there were dense heads, and the total force was about 200,000.

Faced with so many enemies, the Portuguese in Lisbon were desperate. In the history of Europe, no country could defeat so many enemies. Not to mention that before this, Portugal was just a small country!

Theodosio had never slept with a stable sleep. If he hadn't been young, he would have been overwhelmed by pressure.

He knew that he couldn't collapse.

For this reason, he took the Ming merchants who stayed in Little Nanjing to patrol the city and appeared in the streets and alleys to inspire his people and give them confidence.

The reason why he brought the Ming merchants around him and used their unique Eastern Confucius was to consciously remind his people that behind Portugal, there was a powerful Ming Empire. As long as he persisted and defeated the powerful Ottoman army, his enemies would be able to be defeated.

I have to say that the effect of his doing this is really good.

The Portuguese all placed their hopes on the suzerain that the suzerain could come to rescue. For this reason, they were excited and repelled many attacks from the multinational coalition forces.

I knew that the Portuguese had white gunpowder, and the range of artillery was farther than that of the Multinational Alliance. Therefore, the Multinational Alliance did not try to exert the maximum power of the artillery like the Ottoman guns, but rather stayed away and was less powerful, but it continued to cause damage to the Lisbon walls and maintained pressure on Lisbon.

After several strong attacks failed, generals such as Conde and Tirena immediately changed their fighting style and began to attack Lisbon by digging tunnels and building sieges.

The Portuguese did not have the strong attack power as the Ming army as before, and could not go out of the city to attack. They could only watch the enemies outside the city threatening Lisbon step by step.

On the port side, the multinational fleet did not attack. However, the appearance of the shore defense guns as it showed off every day was also a blow to the morale of the Lisbon defenders.

The situation is really getting worse day by day.

For this reason, Theodosio was so worried that he had removed how much hair he had taken off when there was no one.

Let’s not talk about when the Suez Canal will be dug. Even if the Ming Navy can come to rescue, look at the many warships on the sea, there are more than 100 steam paddle ships alone. Can you still win this battle?

Unless the local navy of the Ming Dynasty can come, there will be so many warships outside, right?

But, is this possible?

Obviously it is impossible! Even if the Ming Dynasty has this mind, it will be too late to go to time!

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of artillery has almost become the norm over Little Nanjing. The attack of the multinational coalition forces has made progress every day under steady attack.

Seeing that the multinational coalition could not stop the destruction of the small Nanjing city, as the earth mountains outside the city became closer and closer to the small Nanjing city, the Portuguese defending the small Nanjing became more and more desperate.

Theodosio was ready to die for his country because he could not escape. Moreover, because he knew that if he could not be caught, he would definitely be humiliated and eventually tied to a stolen rack to burn to death. Rather than this way of death, it would be better to die for Portugal, but more like a king's way of death!

It’s just a pity that Portugal did not bring it into Europe!

However, the changes in the world are always so unpredictable. Just as Theodosio did not expect that European countries would send so many army and navy to siege Lisbon.

On this day, he was taking his people to repel another attack from the coalition forces of the multinational outside the city.

Despite his fatigue, Theodosio patrolled the city head, supervised his men to repair the damaged city head, rescued the injured, and brought the dead bodies down the city head.

Looking at the despair on each of his subordinates' faces, he could no longer provide effective comfort and could no longer boost their morale.

According to this situation, I guess Nanjing will never be able to hold on for a few days, right?

Just as Theodosio was thinking in his heart with frustration, he suddenly heard a huge cheer from the other side of the port.

This kind of cheer has not been heard in Little Nanjing for many days.

The same is true. No matter who it is, after hearing the cheers, he turned his head and looked towards the port. Everyone's face was full of very unexpected expressions. They all wanted to know what was going on over the port?

Could it be that more than 30 steam paddle ships hiding in the port made contributions and won a naval battle?

But, this is impossible!

While they were guessing, they heard several cavalry galloping in, running and shouting loudly: "The Ming reinforcements have arrived, the Ming navy has arrived, the Sect Master has come to save us, God has come to save us..."

These knights drove their horses along the main road of Little Nanjing, and shouted wildly. The excitement spread throughout Little Nanjing through the shouts.

When the Portuguese heard this, they were all excited: Did the Ming reinforcements arrive? Is this true? Just when Portugal needed help the most, the Ming army finally arrived?

The Portuguese, who were besieged by the multinational coalition, were already in a desperate situation. Suddenly, they heard such good news. It can be said that many people were crazy, either crying with joy, holding someone, kissing each other, or shouting wildly, venting the despair in their hearts, and all of them were about to spur out the despair. They shouted and screamed, enjoying the joy of living in desperate situations!

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

“…”

The cheers suddenly became the loudest above Little Nanjing, overshadowing all other sounds.

Outside the city, the coalition soldiers who were transporting soil piles to pile up the hills, the soldiers who were preparing for war, and even the soldiers who were digging tunnels, all stopped their actions, and turned to look into the city of Lisbon with surprise and curiosity.

Such a huge cheer, even if you can't hear clearly, you can feel the emotions contained in this huge sound!

Therefore, all the people outside the city, including Dakongde who had been driven out of the camp to check the situation after hearing the news, couldn't help but look at each other: What's wrong with the Portuguese in Lisbon? Are they crazy?

They naturally knew that Lisbon was surrounded by scattered people. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops on land, there were more than 500 warships on the sea alone. It can be said that the Portuguese in Lisbon would never cheer like this!

Later, they finally heard clearly, as if the Ming Empire troops were coming to rescue.

However, whether the coalition forces are in the army or the navy, with so many troops, how many Ming troops have arrived and how many can they win the coalition forces? Where does this come from confidence?

Thinking of this, the army generals such as Dakong Dai did not order an attack for the time being. After all, the Portuguese in the city were so motivated at this time, and the attack would not have any effect, but would only increase casualties.

They were not idle either, and immediately rode their horses around Lisbon and ran to the sea, wanting to see how many troops had arrived in the Ming reinforcements?

Theodosio actually thought of this question, and even thought more about it.

After initially hearing about the arrival of reinforcements, he became nervous.

First of all, the Ming army came much earlier than he expected, and it would be even more impossible for the Ming local navy to arrive. If the Ming army did not come much, even if the Ming army used all white gunpowder, it would not be able to withstand so many warships from the multinational fleet!

Moreover, the Ming reinforcements have arrived, which has indeed given little Nanjing hope. The cheers are the best proof.

But once the expected reinforcements arrive, they will be defeated in the war, which will be a fatal blow to Little Nanjing!

How many reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty came and can they win?

These two questions deeply touched Theodosio's heart. He ignored everything else and immediately rode his horse away from the city and rushed to the port to see the situation.

Not long after, he arrived at the port and climbed up to look. Suddenly, his heart was filled with coldness.
