Indignant Butturlin chased violently, eager to punish Platen; but could get no hold: found Platen was clear off, to Pommern, on what errand Butturlin knew well, if not so well what to do in consequence. That, on the whole, was what Butturlin did. Friedrich stayed at Bunzelwitz above a fortnight after Butturlin.
On the other hand, the junction of the Austrians with the Russians was effected in 1761; the allied army amounted in all to one hundred thirty thousand men, and Frederick's army, solely consisting of fifty thousand, would in all probability have again been annihilated had he not secured himself behind the fortress of Schweidnitz, in the strong position at Bunzelwitz.
Since I knew you, I have learned to open my eyes, and to reflect. But all this will be changed if you desert me, Charles Henry, and I see that you will do so; yes, you will abandon me. For three weeks past you have taken no notice of me. You would not go into my tent with me at Bunzelwitz, but camped out alone.
Friedrich knows Pilzen, what an admirable post it really is; except only that Schweidnitz will be between the enemy and him, and liable to be besieged by them; which will never do! This is the world-famous Camp of Bunzelwitz, upon which it is worth while to dwell for a little.
"Bunzelwitz, Jauernik, Tschechen and Peterwitz, all fortified," continues Archenholtz; "Wurben, in the centre, is like a citadel, looking down upon Striegau Water. Heavy cannon, plenty of them, we have brought from Schweidnitz: we have 460 pieces of cannon in all and 182 mines. Wurben, our citadel and centre, is about five miles from Schweidnitz.
With fixed bayonets all of them; no musketry permitted till the works are won. Loudon knows Schweidnitz like his own bedroom. He was personally there, in Leuthen time, improving the Works. By nocturnal Croat parties, in the latter part of Bunzelwitz time; and since then, by deserters and otherwise, he knows the condition of the Garrison, of the Commandant, and of every essential point.
This is the Program of the Season: readers feel what an immensity of preliminary higglings, hitchings and manoeuvrings will now demand to be suppressed by us! Read these essential Fractions, chiefly chronological; and then, at once, To Bunzelwitz, and the time of close grips in Silesia here.
