To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Have I permission ? Duke of Anhalt ! Give the word ! Soon it will be too late ! " cried Stubenvoll im- patiently. " In truth, it would be contrary to the teaching of Mendoza, the greatest of the Spanish military writers. No, do not charge ; I cannot give the order, " Anhalt answered slowly. Stubenvoll turned away. " The day is lost, " he said sadly. The Bohemian guns thundered on harmlessly, filling the air with smoke and stench. The battle had but com- menced, and it was noon. The Imperial a...dvanced guard stormed the hill, easily avoiding the ill-directed fire of the Bohemian cannon. " Too fast, " muttered Anhalt ; " they will break into dis- order when they reach the summit ! Bucquoi will recall them ; a good tactician will never attack under such un- favourable conditions. This is only a feint. " He glanced along his own lines. A formidable foe certainly serried rank upon serried rank of pikemen, arquebusiers, cavalry. But the Imperialists did not fall into disarray. They reached the high ground and promptly ranged into line, while behind them two Walloon regiments advanced and formed up in good order.
