Dom Rodrigo's advice was to post two pieces of artillery at the entry of a bridge to prevent any sally, meanwhile to patrol with small boats and stop any attempt to take Goa. This would have been quite easily done, whereby those within it (Santo Estevao) would have been obliged to surrender. But the viceroy, confident in his own judgment, preferred to reinforce the place directly with some men. He selected some \[214\] one hundred and fifty soldiers, shouting in a loud voice that anyone who meant to come should follow him. He went as far as the castle walls and marched round them, during which Sambha Ji's troops slew a great many. Some reinforcements arrived, and by good luck the viceroy and Dom Rodrigo were able to reach their boats and take to flight, otherwise they would certainly have been killed like the rest. - [Previous: 182.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.182.1) - [Next: 182.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.182.3) - [Up: 182](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.182) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.182.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.182.2) · Pramāṇa
