In the battle of Patay, which was briefly mentioned here, the English weren't startled by a deer, they saw a deer and they shot it with their longbows, and made a ruckus about it. The french scouts heard it, and they told Joan. She then took an unusual military decision. She sent her knights ahead to meet the English in battle, leaving the infantry behind. This left the french with a disadvantage in numbers of 3 to 1, whereas otherwise they would have had the numerical advantage. However, this allowed theknights to teach the englishmen much faster, before they had fortified the field with stakes. The result is often called "reverse Agincourt", a scenario where the french cavalry charge worked as intended, because the English hadn't had the time to fortify. The English longbowmen were slaughtered, for minimal French loses. The English lost all their longbowmen and would never use them against France again, as it would take a generation before new longbowmen could be trained. They would be defeated again at Formigny and Chatillon, and then they would never again have serious plans for continental European territorial gains again.
