After the battle of Sluys, Edward III landed in Cotentin Peninsula and ravaged lower Normandy in July 1346 with about 10,000 men. The French pursued. Edward III decided to halt near Crecy in Normandy and to prepare for battle the next day. The French vanguard made contact with the English and started to attack without the benefit of a strategic plan. The French made as many as 15 or 16 attacks through the night, but the English defeated each one in turn, primarily thanks to the English longbowmen.
