		Du Guesclin's artillery helped get him into many of the lesser fortified places, which was a big help, but it was too light to batter a way into the more stoutly built castles and cities, which had to be reduced by more conventional sieges.
		Because Du Guesclin consistently, and intelligently, refused battle under any circumstances, there was not a single pitched battle in the traditional style (i.e., with the English longbowmen shooting down the French men-at-arms) during the entire dozen years of fighting.
		Du Guesclin's highly unorthodox techniques caused his enemies --who included many high-born Frenchmen desireous of stabbing the low-born Constable in the back-- to accuse him of "unchivalrous" and "cowardly" conduct.
