midnight
`` I do n't belong to any Church at all ; I belong to the army . And now we will take Prague with a _ coup de main _ . '' So it fell out . At midnight the foot-soldiers clambered over the wall , threw the sentinels into the moat , cut down the guards at the gates , and took that side of the town . For three days the part of the city which lay on the left bank of the Moldau was plundered , and Königsmarck is said to have sent five waggons laden with gold and silver to the north-west through Germany , as his own share of the spoil . Odowalsky received six thousand thalers for his trouble , and later on was raised to the Swedish House of Peers with the title of `` Von Streitberg . '' But the right bank had not been captured .
