The huge banner was gradually raised and fluttered at the head of Lisbon, and the morale of the soldiers inside and outside the city walls suddenly changed greatly.

The Portuguese soldiers, who immediately understood that Chinese reinforcements had arrived, cheered in the trenches. They held out under the shelling of the coalition forces for more than four months, and tens of thousands of people were killed, and they could no longer hold on. Now that reinforcements from the East have arrived, this is undoubtedly the best news for the Portuguese soldiers - after all, the Tiger Ben Army is a strong army that wins all battles, and even the Portuguese know the strength of this ally.

And the morale of the European coalition army is like being punched hard, and it has been slammed down all of a sudden - such a powerful reinforcement suddenly appeared in Lisbon, which was about to be captured, and the previous months were in vain?

Wilhelm II, the Dutch consul, looked at the yellow soldiers in the trench opposite and inhaled nervously.

He subconsciously felt a little nervous, for no other reason, just because the Dutch had lost to Li Zhi too many times over the years. The Dutch lost from Formosa, lost on the Jiangbei Army, lost in Indochina, lost in Jakarta, lost in India. In the past few years, the Dutch have been losing to Li Zhi's sphere of influence for a few years.

In the face of Li Zhi's Tiger Army, the European coalition forces had an absolute numerical superiority and logistical superiority. The monarchs of Europe could muster a million more men to besiege Li Zhi in Portugal at any time if they needed – in fact, they did just that, and the order to increase their troops had reached all corners of Europe.

But Wilhelm II subconsciously felt a little scared.

Past history taught Wilhelm II that the more the Dutch felt that they were winning, the worse the Dutch would lose.

The British ruler Cromwell glanced at his Dutch allies, walked over and said, "His Royal Highness William, you don't need to worry too much, Li Zhi has brought more than 100,000 people at most, and we still have an absolute numerical advantage." And in less than two months, we can send a second army to Lisbon. At that time, more than 1 million people will fight 200,000 people, and Li Zhi will not have the slightest chance of winning. ”

Wilhelm II smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Cromwell, you're right."

He was a little ashamed of his panic, after all, he was also the leader of a European power, but he was so afraid of the emperor of the yellow race. He tried to show his confident side in front of Cromwell, but his heart sank again when he looked at the banner of "Qi" on the city wall.

"Mr. Cromwell, victory is ours in the end... But... But... But that's Li Zhi..."

The British and Li Zhi had a relatively short history of war, and they did not lose many times. Cromwell could not understand William II's fear of Li Zhi, looked at William II in surprise, and did not speak.

Louis XIV lowered his binoculars and looked at Wilhelm II with a frown. He was ashamed of the cowardly Wilhelm II, which was not the cowardice that a proud European monarch should show.

"Bart, did Li Zhi bring an infantry fighting vehicle?"

Now Louis XIV is the commander-in-chief of the Lisbon battlefield, and he controls the scout intelligence system of the European coalition forces. His general, Barth, was the General Intelligence Officer.

Bart bowed down and said, "Your Highness, Li Zhi has brought fifty infantry fighting vehicles. But that's not a lot of money. This is Europe, and we have more than 500 heavy guns of more than 50 pounds on the outskirts of Lisbon. If Li Zhi's infantry fighting vehicles dare to drive out, our artillery will definitely beat them to slag. ”

Louis XIV nodded and asked, "What did Li Zhi bring?" ”

Bart replied loudly: "Your Highness, Li Zhi has brought artillery, and a large number of artillery pieces are being transported to the trench. The caliber of these guns was not small, it was estimated that they were all twenty-four-pounder guns, and they appeared to be breech-loading guns. ”

Louis XIV asked aloud: "How many doors are there?" ”

Bart replied loudly, "According to our estimates, there are about a thousand. ”

Louis XIV touched his nose and groaned for a moment.

"Li Zhi wants to hold Lisbon with a thousand guns?"

He suddenly became more confident and laughed, "It's a ridiculous joke! ”

Wilhelm II also heard the conversation here, and opened his mouth in surprise - Li Zhi only brought fifty infantry fighting vehicles, which was not enough to influence the situation of the battle! You must know that the quality of the artillery of the European countries is much stronger than that of the Ottomans and Persia, and if Li Zhi fiddles with a mere fifty chariots here, he will be attacked by the saturation of artillery.

Wilhelm II felt that since Li Zhi was personally on the expedition, he would definitely be sure of victory. But he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Zhi's gourd.

Louis XIV glanced at Wilhelm II with contempt, deeply despised for the cowardice of this Dutch ruler. He raised his binoculars and began to observe the situation on the enemy's positions.

On a small castle on the outskirts of Lisbon, Li Zhi and João IV walked to the top of the castle.

Li Zhi looked at the huge battlefield around him and began to carefully observe the Tiger Ben soldiers in the trenches with a telescope.

João IV also followed Li Zhi to observe the battlefield at first, but after following Li Zhi's movements for a while, he felt a little strange. Li Zhi carefully observed the arrangement of the various officers of the Tiger Ben Army and the combat readiness level of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army. Li Zhi, the enemy on the opposite side, didn't look at it all the time, as if this was a drill of the Tiger Army.

For a long time, Li Zhicai looked at the European coalition forces opposite.

Putting down the binoculars, Li Zhi asked Zhong Feng, "Are all the artillery in place?" ”

Zhong Feng nodded and replied, "Holy Lord! The artillery is all in place! You can attack at any time. ”

Hear Zhong Feng's words. João IV was shocked.

What do you mean by Chinese? The enemy, several times larger than this side, surrounded the city outside Lisbon, and the situation was clearly that the Portuguese and the Tiger Army were at a disadvantage. At such a juncture, Li Zhi stood on the commanding heights but did not look at the situation of the European coalition forces at all, as if this war was just a training exercise for the Tiger Army.

Moreover, Zhong Feng actually said that the Tiger Ben Army was going to attack!

You must know that after several troop increases, the European coalition forces outside have a total of 420,000 people. The Tiger Army now has only 120,000 reinforcements arriving, plus the 40,000 remnants of the bombed army, and there are only 160,000 on the Lisbon side. And Li Zhi took these 160,000 men and prepared to attack when he did not have a unified battle plan with the Portuguese side.

Could it be that in the eyes of the Chinese, Europeans are all paper paste?

As a European, João IV felt deeply despised by Li Zhi. Europeans were stronger than Chinese and taller than Chinese, and in fact Europe had achieved much greater glory than Chinese in previous centuries. However, in Li Zhi's eyes, the whole of Europe united seems to be just a group of local chickens and dogs.

João IV licked his lips and said, "Your Majesty, do we have to unify the battle plan before launching an attack?" ”

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Joao IV, and then remembered that he had forgotten to tell the Portuguese the battle plan.

Li Zhi nodded, and there seemed to be a trace of apology on his face, but this expression only flashed on his face.

"Don't worry, King of Portugal, our howitzer cannons will blow the enemy on the opposite side to pieces."
