Joan of Arc won her first victory at Orleans, which had been under English siege for 7 months. She arrived at Orleans on April 29, 1429, with an army and such capable military leaders as Count Dunois and Captain La Hire, who helped her life the siege of Orleans in the days of May 4th thru the 8th, 1429. It was by Joan's inspiration and sensible tactical decisions that the French were led to defeat the English. The most famous battle was the taking of the English bastion of Les Tourelles, a moated tower that guarded a long bridge leading to Orleans' southern gate, on Saturday, May 7th, 1429. Joan was wounded in the shoulder by an English arrow when she was mounting a siege ladder, but she pulled the arrow out herself, and after being treated with olive oil and bacon fat, returned to the battle several hours later. She found that the French were going to retreat, but she told them "to rest awhile, eat and drink, and try once more". She went back before the Tourelles and waved her famous white banner, the French resumed the assault, and the Tourelles was taken, with the English commander, William Glasdale, killed when he fell through a burning drawbridge and drowned with 500 other Englishmen. This battle effectively ended the siege of Orleans.
