The West Saxons advanced eastward to the river Ville, where the gushing water bent in a huge zigzag, and behind the vast water, the walls of St. Lo and the towering churches came into view.

The court stable, Seinboendi, led the Essex militia to follow the West Saxons, and as they stepped through the somewhat soft ground, they saw the startled waterfowl on the opposite side, which were not far from the Normans. At this time, the clouds were like iron, obscuring the sky, and in the darkness, the Normans were lying in front of them like beasts of prey among the grass and trees, and before Boendisain could give the order, the West Saxons on the left flank, led by the white-haired son of Tolkel, Edric.

The Normans were a little sparse in this section, but the West Saxons had to spread their shield walls in such a fragmented terrain, and could only be fought under the leadership of a few guards and senior Sein, and their hard-trained array could not be used on such a waterfront. On the Norman side, the knight of Ralph de Fogle had just lost his horse, and his blue uniform was stained with mud, and when he saw that the enemy was near, he put on his helmet and his jaw was protected by a lock ring, and only a pair of bull's eyes peeked out from behind his nose guard, and he shouted in a muffled voice: "This is now! Then he led the crowd forward.

William de Poverel, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Normandy, saw that his squire had his neck severed by an English guard with a long-handled axe, and immediately stepped forward with his shield, and with the momentum of the impact he struck the red-haired foe, who fell under the pointed tip of the kite-shaped shield, and his iron helmet fell loosely, revealing a woman's face, so he slammed his shield into the face, completely ruining the face.

After killing this guard, the remaining English militia had to fight on their own, these young men had experienced the battle in Brittany, and had witnessed the bloody impact of the shield wall, but they had no experience of such scattered melees, and were quickly cut down by the Norman knights in armor, and the skilled enemies made them fearful, some soldiers threw away their weapons, and tried to crawl to escape from this place of death, and several iron-clad Sain were decapitated and stuck on the spears and held high into the clouds.

On the side of the Essex front, Boendi was engaged in a bloody battle with Hugue de Beauchamp, but he saw a horse rushing out from behind him, the ironclad knight on horseback held a huge bakulum, the iron light shining on the top of the helmet made it difficult to look directly, the English lord wanted to raise his sword to block, but was instantly smashed by the wooden stick and broke his neck, his head was tilted to the side, and his breath was cut off.

This knight is none other than the Bishop of Bayeux Odo, this Norman nobleman chain mail covered with scales of colorful uniforms, continue to gallop unstoppably in the English formation, Ediv's son Woolf Ward is armed with a long-handled axe, and he wanted to kill this knight in fine clothes to make a name for himself, but was grabbed by Bishop Odor from the horseback with his left hand, and then threw it with horsepower, fell heavily to the ground, and the tomahawk also fell to his side, this heavy blow made him look at gold stars, shin fractures, and it was difficult to get up, and soon a Norman cut his throat. Bishop Odo re-reined in the loose bridles and threw himself into the middle of the battle as an ostrich.

Countless spears kept moving forward, and the loose army of the Normans opened like the great jaws of trolls, constantly devouring the intruding English militia. Such scenes were played out everywhere in the southern part of the battlefield, and the Bretons on the northern flank were now in hell, with the Duke of Normandy opposite them, and at first the resistance of the Norman soldiers was very weak, and their scattered formation was quickly broken through. The Breton knights who were greedy for merit rushed to the direction of the Duke's crow banner, but as they went deeper, the Norman soldiers who had been scattered to the two wings re-killed the rear flank of the Bretons under the organization of their respective lords, and the Duke of Brittany's main formation was still in the whole team ready to join the assault, and the knights who entered the battle first had been isolated in the middle of the enemy formation, and after the Normans killed all the knights who fought for merit, they killed their seriously wounded war horses one after another, and beheaded a large horse corpse and hung it in front of the battle to demonstrate, Caused an uproar among the enemy. Seeing the terrible scene of the vanguard, the Duke of Brittany's own formation was also a little shaken, the Duke of Geoffrey saw this and immediately ordered to blow the horn, after a little inspired, he stepped forward, the spectacular scene of hundreds of knights in stirrups colliding with the formation made the Duke of Normandy also a little moved, the Duke of Geoffrey's spear pierced the enemy's breastplate, but broke on the other party, the Duke drew his sword out of the sheath, and cut down a Norman knight who tried to assassinate his own horse, but Walter de Briand on the side was unfortunately stabbed in the arm with a spear, Seriously injured and fell from a horse. Soon, Duke Geoffrey was also stabbed in the belly of his horse by the besieging Norman soldiers, and the duke's mount was pierced by the shaft of a spear, and the chest was stabbed again.

Out of the corner of his eye, Duke Geoffrey saw that Walter had been captured by the Normans, and that the enemies in front of him were also glinting with greed. He raised his sword, ready to make a final resistance, never allowing the enemy to enjoy the glory of his captivity. When the Duke of Normandy seemed to be ready to give the order to kill these noble knights, Stephen de Blois's Frankish knights rushed in from behind, and these new forces soon inflicted heavy casualties on the Normans around them, and Longueville's eldest son, Walter, was attacked by Stephen's knights, and suffered dozens of sores and heavy injuries to his organs, and died in a pool of blood.

The Blois attack created many gaps in the enemy's ranks, and the Breton knights broke through the siege, and the Duke Geoffrey was supported on a war horse, and the black mount was jerked by Stephen, and the Duke charged back with him.

The Duke of Normandy was about to send his reserves to flank the Blois, only to find Stephen swinging his sword and severing the arm of a Norman infantryman, and then broke out. The duke looked at the several feathered arrows on the other party's shoulders and shields, and couldn't help but admire: "What a fierce dog, but it's a pity that he escaped the net and left!" ”

The duke's eldest son, Robert, was a little unconvinced, and replied on the spot: "I'll go and get him back." ”

Seeing that Robert was about to take the lead, William waved his hand to stop him: "Nonsense, how can our cavalry waste in such a place?" He observed the general situation in the direction of the north and south, and saw that the enemy's offensive was constantly disintegrating, and finally gave an order: "Evre, you go and give orders to Odo, and ask him to concentrate all the cavalry in the direction of my own position!" ”

The defeat of the English militia was also seen by King Edgar, who stared at the enemy position on the riverbank, and then turned back to the anxious Yorkshire Governor Hughed Barn and said, "What do you think? ”

Without hesitation, Hughard replied, "This place is a prison, with water on both sides, and cannot be outflanked, and if our soldiers and the Normans continue to fight in this dead place, we will soon have no army to use." ”

Edgar bowed his head and said: "That's true, but now that the troops are collected, the Normans will definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and when the time comes, they will not be able to advance or retreat, but they are afraid that all the men and horses will be lost here." ”
