Although only more than 3,000 soldiers were successfully collected, the Portuguese general had no choice at this point.
Seeing that the Australasian army at the frontline had begun to charge out, and there were still many Australasians surrounding them and chasing them down.
Under such circumstances, not fleeing earlier and continuing to collect the remnants of the defeated soldiers was just waiting for death, the clever Portuguese commanders chose the most reasonable method, which was to break through with the gathered troops.
Most of the soldiers collected by the Portuguese general were Portuguese, but there were also about a quarter of them who were native soldiers.
Portuguese generals are not stupid, breaking out is bound to be difficult, so letting these native soldiers explore the roads and break through is the best way.
After casually choosing a direction near the coastline, the Portuguese general led his defeated soldiers toward the coast to break out.
