Following a Fabian - like strategy , Hawkwood goaded the Veronese into attacking him on a field of his own choosing , by laying waste to the Veronese lands nearby . Drawing his forces up on the far side of a canal , and anchoring his right flank on a patch of woods , Hawkwood waited until the Veronese had committed to attacking across a ford of fascines piled up in the canal . Once so occupied , Hawkwood sprang his trap . Hawkwood had left a copy of his standard behind his forces , then had led his cavalry into the woods to his right .

" , from the coat of arms of the House of Da Carrara ) — in Hawkwood ' s rendition , it became " Carne ! " ( " Flesh ! " ) .
