A part of the force within Orleans was ordered to meet them on the road. By chance, these men encountered the three hundred wagons of enemy food near a village called Rouvray. There could not have been a better opportunity to fall upon the enemy, but for some reason these soldiers, usually so careless about disci- pline, refrained from the attack until they had obtained permission from the Count de Cler- mont. He, wanting to have the credit of the victory for himself, forbade them to attack un-... til he should arrive. The delay was disastrous. 92 THE MAID OF ORLEANS Taking advantage of the unaccountable post- ponement, the English, under Fastolf, arranged their wagons in a sort of Boer laager, or fort, and repeated the trick that had worked so well at Agincourt of driving sharp-pointed stakes into the ground to impale the galloping horses. Some of the French, still waiting for orders, rode o^ around the country looting. Others could not resist having a bit of a fight, but they were not numerous enough to down the enemy.
