The Saxons' favourite tactic was the shield wall. 2 or 3 ranks. The first rank would have their shields overlapping with the shield of the person next to them. They would form a "wall of shields", as the name suggests. The Saxon would use his other hand to stab at his opponent with his sword from under his own shield.
To break a shield wall, which they had to do when fighting other Saxons, they used three weapons, row by row. The first man used a spear, which hit the bottom of the shield, causing it to tilt outwards. The second man used an axe as a hook to pull down the shield. The third man used a short sword to attack the now defenceless man behind the lowered shield.
