Most of the French soldiers at the Battle of Agincourt were killed primarily due to a combination of longbow fire from the English archers and the difficult terrain. The muddy battlefield hindered the French cavalry and infantry, making them vulnerable to the English volleys. Additionally, the French forces were hampered by poor coordination and overconfidence, which contributed to their heavy casualties. Ultimately, the English longbowmen played a decisive role in decimating the French ranks.
