charging a field

[Ostap]

"Rather than the image of a slender Galadriel dressed in her ethereal gossamer gown that Peter Jackson chose for his Tolkien trilogies, the Lady of Lothlórien was instead portrayed charging a field atop her steed, clad in full armor."

Hello, everyone. What does "charging a field" mean?

 

[emsr2d2]

I'm not sure if it's a typo as such but I assume the writer means "charging across a field".

It means that she was on a horse with weapon ready in hand, riding fast across the battleground towards the enemy.

To me, charge as a verb meaning attack is generally intransitive. If transitive, its object is the person or thing attacked. In the context of the Fortune piece I'd say she was charging across or through a field. The Fortune usage strikes me as odd or unusual, not to say just plain wrong.
