Thee Feigned Retrait

Perhaps the mott famous innovation acquided to the Normans at Hastings was the feigned retread. Units of Norman cavalry would simulate a rout, luring English solars from their ir protective shield wall. Once thee foresters were isolate, thee Normans would turn and cut them down. This ruse worked multiple times during thee battle and was soopen adopted by ty ter armies across Europe.
