Marshal Billon received a second letter of help from Bordeaux on the third day after the shelling of Bordeaux.

The letter was supposed to be delivered earlier, but Marshal Billon's army had completed the assembly, and the 10,000 troops were about to cross the Malong River to attack the city of Caor.

The request for help made him stop moving forward.

Because along with the news that the 'siege army increased to 5,000 or even more' was also delivered, there was also news that 'Ming Marshal Chen Jiujing, who had robbed Bordeaux, joined the battlefield with the flag of the Navarre Kingdom'.

Of course, there is also the defenders' determination to live and die with Bordeaux.

This is illogical to Marshal Long.

"While there are Catholics in the Kingdom of Navarra, the king openly declared that Navarra was a shelter for all Huguenots, how could they get together?"

Just half a day later, the letter answered the question of Marshal Billon, who was wondering whether to go west to remove the siege of Bo City or to run east to avenge the revenge of Ka City.

The flag with a large blue gold chain does not represent King Bourbon Henry, but Princess France and Queen Margaret of Navarra.

After the shelling, the Ming army and the Spanish army did not attack. Only the knights shrouded in plate armor beside Chen Jiujing rode their horses to the city, lifted up the armor to show her identity to the city, and persuaded the defenders to surrender.

Bourbon Henry was a Huguenot, but Queen Margaret was born a devout Catholic, and it was normal for the Spanish Legion to stand behind her.

Therefore, after only half a day, the third letter was no longer a letter of help, but it was like an ultimatum: "The cannons knocked the city wall out of the gap, and more people appeared outside the city, and the original plan might not be successful. We will guard the city for the king for six days, after which Bordeaux will surrender to the queen."

Marshal Billon, who was the baron, closed his eyes in distress while holding the letter. He grabbed the letter and murmured: "Queen Margo, Queen Margo."

When Margo was a little girl, Billon was only a humble baron from a big family at that time. He was selected to the palace for a short time to serve as Princess Margo. When he was serving as a princess, he was young and was attracted by Marshal Brisak who had gone out of the palace.

Under the recommendation of the Marshal, the little baron went to the army at the end of the Italian war. The war made him a cripple, but he also became the commander of the cavalry under the Duke of Old Gis.

Everything about France hurt him, and the one that made him most was undoubtedly the Valois royal family.

A wise king should stabilize his kingdom, but his king cannot even stabilize his family.

The king's brother, Duke Anjo, always raised an army next to Paris. Not only did he marry his sister who was in the forbidden country, he not only did not help his family, but he also wanted to help her husband sit in the seat where his brother was now.

How he missed the glory of the French in the Italian War for European hegemony with Habsburg under the banner of the king!

And what is the current situation? Did the French princes join forces with foreigners to join this melee that influences France's fate?

It is better to say that he has sympathy for the Protestants who have been slaughtered, or the pain of the internal melee in France, Billon is unwilling to fight with Bourbon Henry of Navarra.

Because it was obviously a king who was more wise than Henry III.

But at this moment, the French princess appeared in Bordeaux with the Ming army and the Spanish army, and the situation was no longer allowed.

Marshal Billon, who had no other choice, sent riders to inform the king of Paris about the news, requesting that more standing troops be sent to support the two-line battles in the province of Guiena, and send another force to attack any fortress that might be captured on the way, belonging to the Kingdom of Navarra, in order to allow the two enemy troops to meet as late as possible.

At the same time, the army rose up on the banks of the Duon River in the evening and retreated along the way. He wanted to go from another route to Bordeaux.

Unlike the Wang Jun who actively sought war, the situation in Bordeaux was not as urgent as mentioned in the letter of help.

In the vineyards on the left bank of Bordeaux, Earl Potak, who represents the defenders, was talking to General Chen Jiujing and Queen Margaret of Navarra.

Although they were all wearing armor, the atmosphere was like the port of the Gironde River, which split Bordeaux into two in the middle, avoiding the calm that was directly impacted by the ocean.

Margaret, who had pulled her face away, sat in the chair like a thin man. She frivolously squeezed a grape into the wine glass, raised her glass to Earl Potak, and said, "Then, in three days, the defenders will surrender to me, and the gentlemen in the city made an informed choice."

No one is happier than Count Potak. Now this estate with a vast vineyard belongs to him, and he gave Queen Navarra a rest. He raised his glass respectfully and said, "In these days we will provide food, fruits, vegetables and some meat to supply the queen's army in exchange for peace."

"And I guarantee with honor that if Marshal Billon leads his army to arrive, the city of Bordeaux will not join your war with the king." Potak pursed his lips and said, "But the final ownership of Bordeaux will still be decided by you. Even if Billon arrives, Bordeaux will not join your army. I hope the queen understands this."

Margaret was immersed in the excitement of "leading troops to win a war". She was as happy as a little girl. She looked back at Chen Jiujing who was sitting on the chair beside her and smiled at Potak, "Please rest assured, you, I don't need more troops."

After saying that, she said to Chen Jiujing: "What do you think, my general?"

"Isn't anyone in the city making harsh words?"

Chen Jiujing, holding a pipe, looked very disappointed and confused. The majestic back in the armor leaned against the back of the chair, and two angry smokes spewed out of his nostrils: "For example, to get back the losses from the last battle, or for the sake of honor, don't you keep honor on your lips and fight me to the death for honor? Is there really no such person?"

His words embarrassed Count Potak, and he paused before responding in a low voice: "Dear General, no, really no, everyone is very happy to reach an agreement with the Queen."

"well……"

Chen Jiujing sighed long and suddenly raised his hand to swing the knight riding a horse outside the manor in the distance, saying to Potak: "Did you see that big man? That's my deputy general, Conguru. I promised him that he would get more plate armor from Bordeaux than last time to give him. You should have seen it last time."

"This matter is very difficult for me to handle. Last night he slipped into my camp and said he found that you all changed into new armor and rode new war horses, which was so beautiful."

Chen Jiujing raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows, then pointed to the Bordeaux wall not far away, with a serious expression: "Can the city solve this problem for me? Since you don't participate in the battle, it's useless to keep the armor, weapons and war horses, right?"
