Narses destroyed a Frankish attack column, or large wedge, in the wars in Italy. His centre was of infantry, incuding dismounted heavy cavalry, backed by archers. His centre held long enough for his cavalry to hit the wedge's flanks and rear. The Franks were butchered, their fate was sealed when Narses'disgruntled Herul infantry returned to the fight and attacked the head of the Frankish column.
