Dag Hringson still kept up the battle, and made in the beginning so
fierce an assault that the bondes gave way, and some betook themselves
to flight. There a great number of the bondes fell, and these lendermen,
Erlend of Gerde and Aslak of Finey; and the banner also which they
had stood under was cut down. This onset was particularly hot, and was
called Dag's storm. But now Kalf Arnason, Harek of Thjotta, and Thorer
Hund turned against Dag, with the array which had followed them, and
then Dag was overwhelmed with numbers; so he betook himself to flight
with the men still left him. There was a valley through which the main
body of the fugitives fled, and men lay scattered in heaps on both
sides; and many were severely wounded, and many so fatigued that they
were fit for nothing. The bondes pursued only a short way; for their
leaders soon returned back to the field of battle, where they had their
friends and relations to look after.
