Blocks your cavalry

it is quite good

They always blame the mud

Anglo lies!

I'm quite surprised he doesn't speak French :^)

Anglos depicting english archers as manly, badass motherfuckers are ridiculous

You realise that they had mutated skeletons from drawing a bow from a young age yeah. They were, in their specialisation, much stronger than almost any modern athlete apparently.

The English bow can launch an arrow over 10km. They launched so many of them into the atmosphere that water began to condense around the arrowheads, eventually forming rain clouds.

>that jew in yellow

dont forget that a decent archer can shoot a arrow thru 1 meter of hardend steel

I just ordered a genuine English longbow for £5000 (that's like $8000). They're made from the finest English Oak, folded over 100 times, and are twice as tall as a man. English archers were trained since the age of 3 and were so skilled they could fire over 500 arrows a minute. The hitting power of each one is greater than a bullet and would go clean through a plate-armoured knight and his horse. Even in WW2, the Germans would aim for longbowmen first, as their arrows were the only thing that could penetrate German tank armour.

Enjoyable

I know this is pasta but come on

>Takes your Orléans

longbows kill the destriers from underneath the knights, who, in great formations and poor boggy conditions (like agincourt) get trapped. that is the function of the longbow that made it so effective against cavalry - and led to the war of the roses being a nullification of the weapon, because neither side bothered to sacrifice expensive destriers to each side's mass longbow volleys

>though a strong build would have been essential in order to use the powerful 16th-century longbow, which had draw weights of up to 90kgf

90kg?

90 pound is the most common but it can go to 130~

Anything above is just impractical

wow

Wish I had this kind of formation...

>Motivates your troops

>You realise that they had mutated skeletons from drawing a bow from a young age
That doesn't actually mean they deformed because of their strength. Medieval farmers and sailors got bone deformities too.

Almost all of the french at agincourt were on foot, and of the tiny, tiny vanguard of cavalry, some actually managed to reach the archers despite the absurd number of arrows loosed per man, stakes, and mud.

Do you get this from your extensive knowledge of military archery?
