Et nanctus horam impendio tempestivam, signo repente per lituos dato, latrocinalia castra perrupit, contraque Germani, nihil praeter inefficaces minas iactanter sonantes et fremitum, nec expedire arma dispersa, nec componere aciem, nec resurgere in vires permittebantur urguente instanter victore.
So taking advantage of this most favourable time, he suddenly gave the signal with the clarions and broke into the robbers camp, while on the other hand the Germans, merely uttering boastfully vain threats and shouts, were pressed so hard by the victor that they could not gather up their arms, which were lying about here and there, nor form in line, nor rally for a stout resistance.
