Battle of Créçy, August 26, 1346

Although the information of the prior recognition of the English strong position had not altered the count of Alençon's willingness to attack, King Philip in verifying his blatant failure could have halted this, let's call it, forceful recognition, and taken an offensive device for the attacks in the early hours of the next day. When a typical Byzantine (or Double Perpendicular with forward pressure combined with flank attacks) would then be employed, that is, a force frontally threatened the enemy formation by fixing it, especially if it were a solid infantry block, but without engaging decisively; then other forces sought to flank and / or engage the enemy device.
