( One authority says the battle was fought on June 13 . ) Background . Joscelin I of Edessa had captured Azaz in northern Syria from the atabeg of Aleppo in 1118 . The next year the Crusade rs under Roger of Salerno were severely defeated at the Battle of Ager Sanguinis , and King Baldwin II of Jerusalem was captured while patrolling in Edessa in 1123 . Campaign . In 1124 Baldwin II was released , and almost immediately he laid siege to Aleppo on October 8 , 1124 . This caught the attention of il - Bursuqi , the Seljuk atabeg of Mosul . Il - Bursuqi marched south to relieve the siege of Aleppo , which was nearing the point of surrender in January 1125 after a three - month siege . In spite of the city being " the greatest prize the war could offer " , Baldwin cautiously withdrew without a fight . Battle . Later , il - Bursuqi ( who had received troops also by Toghtekin of Damascus ) besieged the town of Azaz , to the north of Aleppo , in territory belonging to the County of Edessa . Baldwin II , Joscelin I , and Pons of Tripoli , with a force of 1 , 100 knights from their respective territories ( including knights from Antioch , where Baldwin was regent ) , as well as 2 , 000 other foot soldiers , met il - Bursuqi outside Azaz , where the Seljuk atabeg had gathered his much larger force . Baldwin pretended to retreat , thereby drawing the Seljuks away from Azaz into the open where they were surrounded . After a long and bloody battle , the Seljuks were defeated and their camp captured by Baldwin , who took enough loot to ransom the prisoners taken by the Seljuks ( including the future Joscelin II of Edessa ) . Aftermath . Apart from relieving Azaz , this victory allowed the Crusaders to regain much of the influence they had lost after their defeat at Ager Sanguinis in 1119 . Baldwin planned to attack Aleppo as well , but Antioch , which passed to Bohemund II when he came of age in 1126 , began to fight with Edessa and the plan fell through . Aleppo and Mosul were united under the much stronger ruler Zengi in 1128 , and Crusader control of northern Syria began to dwindle .

The primary reasons for the cancellation of the W74 were the obsolete technology used and high cost . The weapon only employed fission , had no improvements in accuracy , and had no capability to be further developed as an " enhanced radiation " ( neutron ) device ; the result was a weapon that did not provide new capabilities , all with a per shell cost of $ 425 , 000 ( 1973 ) . W75 . The W75 was the 8 inch ( 203mm ) equivalent of the W74 . It was viewed by many as being an obsolete system , expensive to deploy and not worth pursuing .
