Hi, folks this is coming from Colonel Jack by Daniel Defoe
I cannot comprehend this bold one compeletely, the country could have resisted to a siege which will last 15 more days and was made out of open trenches?
for he was master of no one place in the country that could have held out a formal siege of fifteen days' open trenches, and he knew all this very well; and therefore it seems, while the Duke of Vendôme resolved, if possible, to bring him to a battle, and to that end made dispositions to attack Luzara, we were surprised to find, the 15th of June 1702, the whole imperial army appeared in _battalia_, and in full march, to attack us.
