Why did the Saxons chase the normans down hill?

The Saxons chased the Normans downhill during The Battle of Hastings in 1066 because they aimed to exploit the advantage of higher ground and disrupt the Norman forces. The Saxons, led by King Harold II, sought to break the Norman lines and prevent them from regrouping. However, this aggressive pursuit ultimately left them vulnerable to the Normans' tactical maneuvers, contributing to their defeat. The ensuing chaos allowed the Normans to regroup and counterattack effectively.
