8 Battle of Agincourt, 1415 On the morning of the battle, the English archers hammered long pointed stakes into the ground at an angle, forming a barrier that could penetrate the chest of a charging horse. When the French armies charged, the English archers let fly a cloud of arrows that reached nearly 100 feet high, then plummeted down on the armor-clad French. As the arrows reached their mark, there was a loud clanking and banging of arrows off the steel armor and screams from frightened and wounded horses.
