Greatest Battles in War History By Albert Payson Terhune Copyright, 1014, ty The Prom Publidiing Co, (The New York Drening No. 35—CRECY; Where Gunpowder Was First Used. IX leather kegs, with tron hoops, were loaded with a coarse, black explosive and with small iron spheres. These six rude cannon, ‘ known as “bombards,” formed the whole artillery of the English army at the Battle of Crecy, one of the most famous conflicts of history. “It was the first time the new-fangled invention known as “gunpowder” had been used in warfare. It was a mere experience, and no one had any Breat faith in its success. Nor, at first, was it successful. The exploding of the six cannon scared the horses of both armies. But the cannon balls themselves did little damage: They moved slowly, rolling most of the way. _ All the enemy needed to do to dodge them was to step to one side. Yet the whole system of modern war dates from the Battle of Crecy, where The cave man had fought with fists and teeth. Then some gentus had opponent worse than could a fist blow. And a club was also discover@@ to be a more effective weapon than a sharp set of teeth. Next came the discovery that a slab of wood or of cowhide could art off blows.

So much damage did the raiders cause that Philip VI, King of France, mustered ity host and marched against the handful of Englishmen, to destroy them at one stroke. Edward, fairly caught and unable to retreat with safety, made a desperate stand on a hillside near the village of Crecy, the rear protected by a forest, and either flank guarded by trenches The advancing French, eager to begin the work of destruction, rushed face on the afternoon of Aug. 26, 1346. The French army was about 60,000 trong; the English 17,000. ‘The French vanguard was made up of 15,000 Genoese crossbowmen. Be- | hind these was the first line of French Knights. The bulk the Freneh | army had not yet come up. A drenching thunderstorm had swept the Sel just before the fight began. At the first drop of rain the English archers put their long-bows in watertight cases. Their enemy did not. The Genoese, who were tired out by a tedious march, opened the battle, But their bowstrings were so wet that their “quarrels” (crossbow arrows) fell short. A single volley from the English archers sent the Genoese scuttling out of range. Back into the first line of French Knights they ren. King Philip, furious at their cowardice, ordered his Knights to kill them.

Presently the next detachment of arrived on the field, and promptly charged the English. Edward had formed his companies of archers into a great “W;" @o that they nowhere offered a broad front to the foe, but where their volleys could have full ef- fect. The French charge was repulsed, jothered under a storm of deadly arrows. Sixteen times—as often as a new body of Frenchmen reached the fielé— laughter.

By that time the French army was scattered in wild fight, leaving behind ft more than 30,000 dead and wounded. Twelve royal princes and 1,542 nobles were among the slain. The conquerors took no prisoners, save those who seemed rich enough to pay ransom. All others who fell into the victors’ hands were slain.
