On the 29th day of the eighth year of Wanli, Chen Jiujing of Bordeaux and French Marshal Billon's army had been confronting the right bank for seventeen days as they approached.

After entering the city, Baishan Camp's order to search the hidden weapons from house to house, cast a layer of haze on the city. Both the soldiers of Baishan Camp and the citizens of Bordeaux were extremely nervous during this process. Under such circumstances, no one could guarantee that they would not be injured.

Especially when Chen Jiujing deliberately relaxed his restraint on his soldiers, the bottom line of the general of the Ming Dynasty was not to harm people's lives, to women and children, to rob the people, and to raise military expenses, the noble mansions and churches were not listed here.

In the words of Chen Jiujing, "If you like something, take more, and pay 70% of it."

But Chen Jiujing has discovered that the inability to harm women and children in his orders is unnecessary.

The Baishan Camp, which had fought all over the Jiuzhou and four countries, entered the fortress, was not scared to death by the local people, but at most the curious little kid secretly exposed an eye through the crack of the door, which was already extremely brave.

But what about Bordeaux?

The troops entered the city and walked only six street corners along the way, but they saw more than fourteen couples of romance, just on the ground and the walls, in broad daylight.

There were also exotic girls in low-cut outfits gathered upstairs and laughed while stretching out half of their bodies from the window to glaring at the neatly lined up soldiers.

Not to mention the Korean soldiers who are shy by nature, have no courage, even the Jurchen warriors born on the Hulun River have never seen this scene. In the infantry queue, there are often people who look up and look around, and those who ride horses and run straight on the wall, showing a lot of ugly appearance.

In order to protect the five and three weak groups under his command, the day after Baishan Camp entered Bordeaux, the "not harming women and children" in the city entry regulations were changed to "preventing the seduction of barbarians" by Chen Jiujing according to local conditions.

Chen Jiujing was ridiculed by Margaret for this. If Spanish women were passionate and unrestrained in Chen Jiujing's eyes, then the scenes they saw here could really be called shameless.

After all, the Spanish won't just do that on the street.

The war is imminent, and his soldiers need to preserve their strength.

In the mansion of Bordeaux, the white wall painted by lime fell from the wall in pieces due to moisture and disrepair, revealing the red bricks inside the wall. More than a dozen candles on the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling slowly burned and emitted a dim light.

Next to the wooden table, the staff from the Nanyang Banner Army followed the scouts to quickly report the news into the sketches placed on the table, and used a pig bristle brush stained with red dye to push pieces of stones representing Marshal Billon's troops, simulating the marching route of the royal army.

"It seems that Marshal Biron is in a dilemma. He went thirty miles to Bordeaux the day before yesterday and retreated again yesterday." Huang Xi pointed to the map and smiled at the left and right generals: "If this continues, he will never reach Po City in his life."

Yang Ce was full of melancholy: "If I had known that I was so timid, I should have attacked him and snatched the cannon."

"He's not timid."

Kanggulu was muffled, and the scouts were all his subordinates. He knew the enemy's situation best. He bowed to Chen Jiujing first, then stood up and pointed to the map to signal to everyone: "His troops have been increasing. At the earliest, he crossed the Dordogne River, and his troops were less than 8,000."

"After crossing the river, the army is changing every day, and has been reconnaissance of our troops. Now Bilun has more than one hundred people, probably no less than us... The general really plans to fight alone in this enemy country? Why not take the lead in attacking."

Chen Jiujing did not comment.

At this moment, the head of the sect came and whispered a few words to Chen Jiujing. He changed his face slightly and said to Margaret, who was sitting beside him: "The envoy of Navarra is outside the mansion. Wang Jun tries to occupy your castle in Ajang. Henry is fighting with them, two hundred miles southeast."

Agen was the fief of Margaret, not only between Bordeaux and Toulouse, but also the middle point between the French royal province of Guiena and the Protestant rebellion.

Obviously, the way Bourbon Henry tried to meet with Chen Jiujing was intercepted by a partial army of Wang Jun.

Margaret quickly walked out of the room, and Chen Jiujing said to everyone: "There are too many castles in France. Now we are the guardians, and Billon is the attacking party. Here we can get more food and grass. The decisive battle should be on the right bank or left bank outside the city. It is definitely not under the nose of Peru. He dared not enter. I want to know how long his food and grass will last."

As he said that, he laughed: "Our purpose is to occupy Bordeaux. If he doesn't attack, we will always win; if he attacks, the same force can't capture the city at all, we will win; why do we have to make some fame and run to the field dozens of miles away from the city to fight him? Sooner or later, he will attack, and I think it's sooner or later. By the minimum consumption, they will eat ten thousand doughs a day."

What Chen Jiujing wanted to say was bread: "How many days can they eat?"

The Ming army was different. Two Liujia flagships affiliated to the Baishan Camp, four Spanish sailing ships of the Toledo Legion, six Calais ships abandoned by the Bordeaux garrison, as well as the Baishan Camp, fourteen shark ships and flying shark ships in the Han Dynasty blocked the sea. Twenty armed merchant ships arrived at the port from Bilbao, Spain every ten days, sending fish, shellfish, chicken and snail meat, wheat flour and rice to satisfy the army's food and food.

Since rice is not grown in the north, these rice has been transported over 400 miles on the Iberian Peninsula alone, and the rice yield in Spain is quite low, so it is extremely precious.

But for Chen Jiujing, it only takes some silk to get everything. It may be expensive, but it is worth it.

"If you want to fight, now is the opportunity. Navarra is fighting in Ahjong, leaving the scouts behind and leading the cavalry to help." Chen Jiujing said to Kangguru, who had been impatient with the long confrontation, turned to look at Yang Ce and asked: "I have seen the trench on the right bank. I have to say that Brother Yang has the skills to train troops. Your subordinates not only do good geotechnical work, but also have the best patience I have ever seen. Once Billon launches an attack, the first line of defense will rely on Brother Yang."

Of course, Chen Jiujing also added: "I hope my brother will be careful of the epidemic."

Kangguru was surprised, got up and held his fists to take the order, and then walked out of the mansion.

Yang Ce shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that Chen Jiujing's words were not praising him.

According to the regulations of the martial arts hall, each department of households must dig a toilet in the wild camp. The toilet cannot be from the barracks, the cooking warehouse is too close to the water source, but it cannot be too far away, and there must be shelter, but these soldiers cannot do it.

They could lose people even when they marched, and even more so when they went to the toilet. They could not get to the barracks. The place where the chef cooked and the water source were too close. His officers had to dig a small toilet every 100 steps in the trenches, and simply prevented the troops from leaving the trenches.

It had just rained two days ago. When Chen Jiujing inspected the fortifications outside the city, Yang Ce's long defense line was foul.
