One of the Danish guards under the command of the Count of Benicia, "Gold Collector" Herut, raised his head and stepped over the body of the Norman knight he had beheaded, and was about to continue the attack when the sky suddenly darkened.

"Shield!" The Danes roared.

The Normans rained arrows again, this time close and much more threatening. Count Guspatrick stopped wielding his battle axe, and when he saw one of the guards beside him fall in pain after being hit in the right eye by an arrow, the Count immediately shouted, "Archer, let them taste hell!" ”

From the two wings of the Northumbrians, a total of 100 longbowmen finally began to wield their might, and they concentrated their crossbowmen with forked arrows, causing these miserable creatures to fall in pieces, and the wounded to their deaths. Then, after the Norman crossbowmen were routed, the longbowmen began to fire at the flanks of the Norman infantry, and this crossfire hit the enemy's weak position, even the Norman knights in iron armor, and the pointed arrows pierced and broke the tightly riveted locks, and the heavy arrows that were as large as a woman's spindle gnawed through the iron clothing and penetrated the flesh and bones. The gold and iron collided, clanging, and for a while, it was a place for corpses.

Edgar kept hearing reports of war coming from the east, the Scots' front was crumbling, and if this trend continued, sooner or later the tide of the war would turn against him, the prince thought as he swallowed his sickness.

He turned his gaze to the crow banner on the opposite side, and suddenly said to Ulf and Count Walsiov beside him: "We must not let the enemy take a calm attack, we must act immediately!" ”

A bull's horn sounded, which lifted the spirits of King William in the Norman army, and the English cavalry finally couldn't help it?

When the sky was shining, the English people's golden dragon banner was dazzling, and the beautiful helmets and freshly polished iron armor were all shining. Under Prince Edgar's arrangement, five squadrons of English knights lined up in two columns, three squadrons in the front row were tied in one line to form a dense horizontal formation, and the other two squadrons were arranged in columns on the left and right flanks of the rear. King William finally got a glimpse of this elite force after the England came out, and when he was in York, he had only seen the bravery of English knights in the snow, and now the high-speed moving iron wall before his eyes was a sight he had never seen before.

William was keenly aware of the menacing approach of the enemy, which was still accelerating, and his pace was like flying, and the array was more than he had ever seen in his life. The king made a quick decision, and the back row of the battle line was all in front of the line, and the Norman knights gradually spread their wings like giant eagles, and then flew forward. King William planned to use his superiority in strength to form a wrap around the enemy's cavalry array, stop the enemy's rush, and completely devour the opponent.

The Northumbrian knights, who were far outnumbered by the enemy, and the battle line was too short in two formations, and Prince Edgar had two squadrons lined up in the rear, a rejection formation that avoided full contact with the enemy at the same time, so the English knights, who were less than half the strength of the Normans, strode towards the enemy's cloud battle formation with a fearless spirit.

Under the command of the Earl of Northampton, these Northumbrian elites charged hard, attempting to knock down enemy mounts with their horses or slash with swords and spears, effectively attacking all the weak points of the enemy's centaurs. The enemy detachments were extremely numerous, and the English, attacked by spears and swords, could only get into a bloody melee in the formation.

As the left and right flanks of the Normans began to outflank the three squadrons of the English, Prince Edgar's orders were quickly issued to the two squadrons in the rear flank, which began to rotate to the left and right respectively, while slowly spreading the column into a dense horizontal formation, and this textbook maneuver was completed. The two squadrons of cavalry were like slowly opened tapestries, and after they formed a charging formation, they immediately saw each other. Their maneuvering position was behind the flanks of the Norman detachments on the left and right flanks, and the energetic knights continued to speed up and, under the control of the Thine officers, maintained a chain-like formation and rushed towards the enemy's weak flank.

The knights of the two squadrons wrapped up the Normans, many of the Normans rear cavalry were not armoured, and it was difficult to be sharp, and Edgar's swords and spears were sharpened like snow, and the edges were sharp, leaving severed limbs and stumps everywhere after entering the battle. As they continued to advance, the enemy in front of them began to disintegrate, and where they passed, the Norman detachments that had been killed by the sun and the moon were peeling off layer by layer, and the two wings of the Normans continued to retreat to the rear, and finally the central detachments were completely surrounded by the English on three sides, and the Earl of Mortan, who was located in the right side of the central detachment, saw through the iron helmet, and swept the tall figure of King William who was still fighting beside him, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, we must retreat immediately!" ”

King William's eyes were split, and he refused to look at his head, but shouted loudly: "You are not allowed to retreat, and if you don't win, you will die under this banner!" ”

Edgar ignored his illness and swung his sword at the front of the right flank squadron, fiercely attacking the enemy in front of him. Then the prince shouted: "English, behind me!" The Wyvern Banner on his right followed closely, rapidly approaching King William's Raven Banner.

The bloody slaughter finally brought the king's banners closer and closer, the broken spears and broken shields covered in the blood of men and horses, and the knights who trampled through them swarmed forward, and King William finally came to his senses with this great threat. He was covered in blood, and he had been stabbed with a spear in his thigh, and he could barely sit on the saddle. Seeing that the tide was turning, the king decided to die generously, when the Count of Mortan rushed forward and slammed the king's mount with the reins in his hand, driving the wounded horse back to the back, and then the count shouted to all the Norman knights who remained in the battlefield: "Protect the king, and the whole army retreat!" ”

The ground was a scorched mess, and the total retreat of the Norman knights opened the eyes of the English under the command of the Earl of Northampton, and Edgar's Wyvern appeared like a blazing flame. Between this banner and the Earl of Northampton, countless Norman knights who had been divided and encircled were still fighting hard, blocking the way for their king.

Prince Edgar's armor was stained with blood, and he was asking the guards beside him for weapons, but the prince's sword was damaged in the battle and was no longer usable, so he finally drew his Saxon dagger to defend himself. After Godwin handed the prince a spear, Edgar began to give orders to all the English knights to speed up the battle and immediately regroup.

By this time the Normans in the center of the battlefield were still fighting, and the Welshmen of the Earl of Moka and Caradog's men were constantly resisting with spears and bows and arrows, and they could no longer see the battle formations of the Scots to the east.

Edgar rode in with his spear, and the handsome northern knights swept in the direction of the monastery with the momentum of a prairie fire, while constantly shouting: "King William has run!" ”

Eight hundred horsemen roared like thunder, this astonishing news must be spread all over the battlefield, and the Norman troops who were fighting bloodily also looked back, and under the daylight, nearly a thousand English iron horsemen appeared in the direction behind them, and the king's crow banner had disappeared!
