Hmm...that one probably illustrates the main body of Charlemagne's army finally arriving in the field and driving the "infidels" off; part of the text seems to say something about the traitor Ganelon being cut down or something like that. The scene is loaded with symbolism about Christian religious values and chivalry and all that kind of stuff. So it's absolutely no surprise that the scene would be hugely exaggerated, both in the text and the illustration.
