After a battle, the situation in France suddenly changed, and the Protestant League, which had greatly increased its advantage, lost most of its advantage at once.

In this regard, the Protestant army suffered huge losses, only more than 3,000 of them escaped, and the rest, either captured or killed, and a large amount of Zizhong was left to the Catholic allies.

More importantly, a large number of cities that the Protestants had taken the opportunity to acquire were all recovered by the Duke of Guise, and the situation in France returned to the hands of the Catholic allies.

Now, as before, the Protestant army was trapped in Orleans, and the offensive and defensive forces were changing.

Moreover, the cities around the city of Orleans were also recovered by the Duke of Guise, and Orleans became an isolated city.

Inside the city, Prince Condé looked out of the city and looked at the Catholic League, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

God can testify that he has always sent people to inspect the situation in the rear, and he has never been negligent.

And the reason why he was raided by cavalry a while ago must have been the dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty of the patrol team, so that the Catholic allies could steal the loophole, cooperate with the outside and break his camp in one fell swoop.

It was not his fault, and in a few hours, tens of thousands of troops disappeared, could it not make him angry?

"Your Excellency, there is no need for this!" General Coligny looked at the blue face, and the arm holding on the city wall was trembling, which showed that he was angry.

In this regard, for the sake of the entire Protestant army, Coligny could only comfort himself softly.

"Our Orleans city is fortified, and the siege of Duke Guise is of little use to us!"

"Besides, the English have pacified the Normandy area, and I think it won't be long before the British army will come to support, and then we just need to hold on to Orleans!"

"For now, that's all it can be! Alas! ”

Prince Condé looked at the busy Catholic camp and sighed helplessly, with endless hatred on his face.

Outside the city, the Duke of Guise also picked up a telescope to look at the heavily defended city of Orleans, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"It seems that Prince Condé still has a hand in defense, which should not be underestimated!"

Duke Guise squinted at Duke Vendôme and said casually.

"Yes, he has always been the leader in the army, and he still has a hand in fighting! It's a pity......" said the Duke of Vendôme.

"What a pity! He met me! Duke Guise said with a slight smugness, "I think back then, even when he fought against the Spaniards, he couldn't beat me!" ”

"Once, I had defeated the Spaniard, and he was often defeated, and he was laughed at and couldn't hold his head up.

But in the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, he changed his appearance again, showing off non-stop, and bragging about his wise achievements to those noble ladies, which was really shameless! ”

Speaking of this, Duke Guise gritted his teeth and said angrily, as if he had seen it on the spot.

In this regard, the Duke of Vendôme had a look of approval on his face, but he didn't approve much in his heart, if it was not unexpected, it was probably the jealousy of his youth!

And in Normandy, the British army of 3,000 men was already constantly walking, walking hundreds of miles, and began to support the Protestant coalition.

The new army supported this time, including 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and the food and grass they brought were only enough for ten days.

Baron George, as commander of the reinforcements, was responsible for commanding 3,000 British troops in support of the Huguenots.

"Oo......oo

In the summer, the roads were hardened, and a large number of horses' hooves marched together, widening the narrow roads of France, and raising layers of dust with the wind.

Due to the capture of a lot of war horses, plus the British transport and the purchase of France, in addition to the cavalry of 1,000 people, the other 2,000 infantry who went to support this time could also ride on horses and become infantry cavalry.

Baron George, as the commander, of course, did not ride in a carriage, but rode slowly with the rest of the cavalry.

As for supporting Protestantism, he, like the rest of the British army, had no interest in supporting Protestantism at all.

Especially for long-distance travel, this feeling of pain is too unpleasant.

Riding on his horse, Baron George fixed his body, his eyes fixed on the front, but his mind did not know where to run!

He still remembered the words of Alexander's earnest words before leaving the city:

"For the Protestant army, don't treat them as allies, the first priority you want to go to is to preserve your strength.

The balance of strength of the French is our main purpose, and you have to act on the opportunity! ”

Therefore, Baron George felt that in view of the current superiority of the Protestant coalition in France, he would just mess around in the past and try to consume the strength of Protestantism!

Just as he was thinking about it, a detective came in a hurry, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up, and he reported:

"My lord, urgent news, the Protestant coalition army was flanked by the Duke of Guise, and was routed all the way to Orleans."

Hearing this, Baron George frowned, supporting an inferior side, they certainly did not have the illusion of a good day, shattered.

In response, he summoned heralds and ordered everyone to change their routes.

You can't go directly to Paris, but it's better to go to Orleans.

It's a pity! He was also ready to take a look at the sights of the first city of France.

The army of several thousand immediately changed direction and chose a new path to walk.

Five days later, an army of 3,000 arrived in Orleans.

After a short rest, the army set up a small barracks in the area near the city of Orleans.

For the city of Orleans, Baron George had absolutely no desire to go in.

Because he knows that if he enters, it will be difficult to come out.

He didn't want all the 3,000 people under his command to be trapped inside, so his responsibility would be great.

Stationed outside the city, one can support Orleans, and the other is convenient for them to talk and run.

After all, there are 3,000 of them, and everyone has horses, so if they want to escape, it is very easy.

"What? The English are coming, and they are all cavalry? Very good! ”

When Prince Condé heard that the English reinforcements were coming, he immediately put down the bread in his hand and was extremely surprised.

Sitting in Orleans, of course, he understands the importance of having reinforcements for Orleans, especially when he is surrounded by famous generals like Duke Guise, and the psychological pressure can be imagined.

"Immediately transfer a few pigs and sheep over, and send someone to inform them, asking for cooperation with our actions, it seems that our plan may be implemented!"

Prince Condé was pleased with the arrival of the British army, which meant not only hope, but also the possibility of his multi-day counteroffensive plan, which he had planned for many days, and thus turned defeat into victory.

"What? The English are coming? Unlike the delighted Prince Condé, the Duke of Guise had a solemn face.

Since the last time he was defeated by the English, he had treated the English differently than the Protestants.
