Best Answer

During The Battle of Hastings William's army (Normans) was at a standstill as Harold's army (English) had a strong shield wall witch was almost impossible to break. Instead William had a plan, find out there weakness! On two occasions his left wing had broken and the English chased after it. When the Normans regained control the English barely made it back to their own line in time to reform the shield wall. Observing this, William ordered an acted retreat to draw the English out yet again and this time catch them in the open. He used this tactic to successfully perform this 3 times. This was his trick.

William was low on morale since some of his soldiers were leaving and there were rumors of William's death. He had to try a previous plan again. This was to run up Caldbec Hill and then start retreating to make Harold's soldiers give chase. They fell for the trick and were surrounded and killed.
