"All warfare is based on deception" Well William was a lot smarter than people think he was. He applied the doctrine of Tsun Zu. Always keep your enemy guessing. The saxons thought they had broken his army and had him on run, but it was not true. The enemy when he's on move neglects to think about his security and becomes complacent. Hence its easy to ambush him with a minimal loss of men to your side!!! "The O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands." He told them to run away because that they would run after them! Then the army would just have to turn around and "BANG!" kill 'em slaughter 'em... it's lodgical isn't it?
