Chapter 119: Battle of Portuguese Throne Thirteen: Battle of Lisbon (Part 1)

 The fall of the Moorish cavalry alarmed the Spanish army everywhere.

Carlos IV of Cartaya was obviously even more afraid to take the initiative, and the Madrid army, who was about to cross the Baedic Mountains, had to speed up the pace of advancing towards Sevilla.

The Valladolid army who remained near Lisbon had to temporarily abandon Lisbon and advance towards Cartaya along the road of Carlos IV.

So, the only one who stayed in Lisbon was the Spanish division coming from the direction of Bigo, and the Portuguese noble army that was summoned by the Portuguese Prime Minister Malik.

The opportunity for Zhang Muxun, commander of the First Division of the Bogda (Istanbul) Guards is here.

The current situation in Lisbon and its surroundings is:

Near the port, controlled by Zhang Muzhang's First Division;

Camarat, the satellite city of Lisbon, was occupied by noble troops driven from all over the country. They elected Prince Henry as the leader, with a number of about 30,000, mainly infantry;

The Amadora satellite city in the northwest of Lisbon was occupied by the Spanish Vigo Legion, with a division commander of the division, Alfonso, the governor of Ganesa, who was an earl from Castilla and later named Earl of Bigo.

The deputy commander is a native of Ganesa, Viscount Carvalho Pedro.

In addition, there is a new military advisor controlled by Malik himself in the city.

At the same time, today, news about the Portuguese throne succession war has spread to France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia. For these royal families who are extremely keen on the throne, even if the powerful Truchen intervenes, they have reasons to take action.

What is beneficial for Truchen is that they communicate slowly and dispatch troops even more slowly. Even so, there is not much time left for them.

On this day, Qitad suddenly came to Lisbon!

He asked Gisein to take a brigade to the Magic Island, and he came here by boat with his guard camp and his new secretary Dane.

At present, the main force of the Spanish army is in Andalusia, but he came to Lisbon with a far distance, obviously smelling an unusual smell.

Port Camp.

Qitade, Zhang Muxun, Aihesan, Shen Muhan, Dai An and others gather together.

Everyone was discussing the entire battle situation nervously, but Qitad himself felt like he was out of the matter.

On the way here, an idea lingers him repeatedly.

"Without Napoleon, the situation in France will inevitably change, the results of the Great Revolution will surely be destroyed, Europe will continue to entangle between feudalism and capital, and wars between kingdoms will continue frequently"

"And Truchen is a new country dressed in the cloak of a kingdom. It has actually underwent an invisible revolution from top to bottom. Thoughts, institutions, and capital have long surpassed the entire Europe"

"If you want to maintain this state, you must let Europe continue to sink"

"I am not Napoleon, nor Truchen is the French Empire. Even if the whole of Europe is enemies of me, it can be worth it."

"The only hidden danger is the issue of heirs. No matter how cultivated in this life, it will not reach my height after all. The only thing I can trust is..."

“Anyway, Portugal is an excellent fulcrum and must not be missed”

Thinking of this, he straightened his upper body, then pressed his hands down, and everyone quickly calmed down.

"Everyone, do you think, which of the two armies around us is more important?"

Zhang Muxun replied: "Of course it is the Bigo Legion. They are a new army and have some combat effectiveness. Although the Portuguese aristocratic army has a larger number, they are still a mob."

Ahesan also said: "If we attack the Portuguese aristocratic army too much, we will inevitably be hated by them, which is very unfavorable for our future foothold in the country."

Qitad suddenly said, "What should I do with Yesmu?"

Everyone was shocked.

Yesmu, one of the imperial ministers, just let him die in vain?

Qitad said coldly: "We must avenge Yesmu! In other words, Malik and others in the city cannot stay, and Malik and others are representatives of the Portuguese aristocrats"

Zhang Muxun immediately understood, "What his Majesty said is that if our country wants to take Portugal, it must eliminate its noble forces. The ministry will take two brigades to Camarat!"

Qitad nodded, "I heard that there are about 30,000 noble troops there, can you do it with just two brigades?"

Zhang Muxun said: "Camarat is the barrier to the north of Lisbon, but it is a small town. Except for Prince Henry and his thousands of men who live there, the rest live around them."

"The problem is that the entire Kamalat region is surrounded by a river, which starts diversion from Kamalat, one branch flows east into the Tagus River, and the other branch walks south around the city of Lisbon"

"The canal is bypassing Lisbon south, which is originally intended to protect the safety of the Lisbon region, but if our army launches an attack, they will have no way to escape"

"Although there are bridges on the river, if our army only has two brigades to launch an attack, the enemy will not run away and will definitely do their best to deal with our attack."

"In addition, most of the noble troops from all over the world have flintlock rifles, and there are no large artillery, and some are just light artillery"

"Their leaders are all lords of various castles, mostly earls, and the rest are viscounts and barons surrounded them, but this shape is not reliable"

"Our army's Saiyin battleship can also enter the river in the north, then bombard it with naval guns, and wait for an opportunity to land. It can also drive along the west bank of the Tagus River in the east, and bombard the noble army on the west bank from time to time"
