By defending a strategic position, often on a hill, other side of a river, narrow passage or any other position that gave firepower advantage.

The Battle of Crecy saw the longbow first used in major numbers. It proved devastating to armoured knights and other cavalry, as well as crossbow archers who could only fire 1-2 shots a minute as against an average of 5 by the longbow.
LONGBOW AND CANNON

Gloim's cannon is the best in my oppinion.
I have put a few links to pictures of medieval cannon in Wikimedia Commons below:
Cannon, carbine, cleaver, and club are weapons. Additional weapons include Colt .45, crossbow, and crowbar.
In time of peace, castle guard duty in England was a feudal obligation placed upon all freemen (serjantz) and knights that was universally hated. It meant 40 days of boredom, even though the men received a payment for their service. After 40 days others would take their places and they could return home. Knights would bring along their own weapons, including a lance or spear and their sword. Serjantz would be equipped with a spear, a bow or a crossbow; a knight's own retinue of troops often included bowmen or crossbowmen. Most of the "arrow slits" seen in medieval castles (such as those at Corfe Castle in Dorset) can not be used by an archer armed with a longbow, since there is insufficient vertical height inside the tower or wall apperture - they were really intended for use by crossbowmen.
in the seven years war the longbow,the cannon ,the spear ,the axe ,battering ram , the catapult were used
in the late medieval period many medieval castles did have a primitive type of cannon.
None, the longbow continued to see use throughout and after the conclusion of that war. However, mortar, cannon, and handheld firearms were intruduced during this time and eventualy made bow and crossbows impractical.
