As the "crisis" with Savoy has ended, the Armies stationed in the Provnece are moved to the Guyenne and wait for a counteroffensive against England. Those 12,000 soldiers meeet with the army under the count of Bourbonnais (6,000 troops), making a total of 18,000 troops. Those troops wait in the outskirts of Bordeaux and get ready for a battle. A new military unit is put in effect, called the "Decénnies". Those armies consist in a total of 10,000 troops stationed in fortified places to await for the enemy to appear to then attack them. This tactic caused the victory on Nantes and the repulsion of the enemy invasion of Brittany. 10,000 troops are stationed in Brittany, other 10,000 in Normandy, other 10,000 wait around Paris, other 10,000 are in Calais and the rest remain in central France t
