they won because Oliver Cromwell's iron sides fought off the kings cavalry, enabling them to gallop to the rescue of the infantry.

What is written above is perfectly true!

But Parliament had double the men the King had. Parliament having 13,600 whilst the King had some 7500 horse and foot! The total numbers involved are oftimes disputed! What isn't is that Parliament had a two to one majority !
