To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Laudon's march was a part of Daun's concerted attack upon the position that they had quitted seven hours before. The result of their movement was that Daun hardly reached them, while Laudon, who ex- pected to surprise their baggage, was himself sur- prised. Marching without a vanguard, he found himself committed to an uphill fight without sup- port from Daun. None the less he attacked with such swing and dash that the Prussian left was well- nigh cut in two. It was saved by the infantry, who fi...rst valiantly held Panten and then set it on fire.
This checked the Austrian advance and enabled the Prussians to make good use of their position. About an hour and a half after the first onset Laudon re- tired across the Katzbach unpursued. The Prus- sians claimed to have killed or wounded 6000 men Digitized by Google 288 Frederick the Great (1760- and captured 4CXX> — a total loss thrice as great as their own. They had thus annihilated nearly one- third of Laudon's force, and — what was even more important — they had rent the net that was closing round them.
