"I return you a thousand thanks for the tender part you take in my lot. Would to Heaven the valor of my Army might procure us a stable Peace! That ought to be the aim of War. "CAMP OF LOBOSITZ, 5th October, 1756. "You will know the news of the day; and I am persuaded you take part in it. All you say to me betokens the conspiracy there is for the destruction of our Country.
Lower down, near Lobositz itself, flickerings as of Horse squadrons, probably Hussar parties, twinkle dubious in the wavering mist. Problem wrapt in mist; nothing to be seen; and all depends on judging it with accuracy! Seven by the clock: Deploy, at any rate; let us cover our post; and be in readiness for events.
Fergus afterwards learned that sixteen officers, of whom eleven belonged to the cavalry, had been killed; and eighty-one officers and about eighteen hundred men wounded in the desperate fighting at Lobositz. Fergus found that among the Austrians the battle of the previous day was considered a victory, although they had lost their advanced post at Lobositz.
Browne will be difficult to force yonder, in the Lobositz part; but yonder alone can he be tried. He is pushing up more Infantry that way; conscious probably of that fact, and that the Lobosch Hill is not his, but another's. What would not Browne now give for the Lobosch Hill!
This is the Bevern who so distinguished himself at Lobositz last year; and he is now to culminate into a still brighter exploit, the last of his very bright ones, as it proved. Battle of Reichenberg, which accordingly ensued, April 21st," of which, though it was very famous for so small a Battle, there can be no account given here.
A squadron of cavalry had been sent off, as soon as the vanguard arrived, to ascertain the movements of the enemy; and they returned, at ten at night, with information that the Austrians had crossed the Eger that day, and were to encamp at Lobositz.
The Austrian centre moved to its right, and occupied the ground behind Lobositz as soon as the defenders of the village had fallen back, and then Marshal Browne formed up his whole force afresh.
Not ruined at all; but foiled, frustrated; and has to devise earnestly, "What next?" Once rearranged, he may still try. The Battle lasted seven hours; the last four of it very hot, till Lobositz was won and lost.
August 28th, junction at Leitmeritz thereupon. Magazine established there. Boats coming on presently. Friedrich himself camped at Lobositz in this part," Lobositz, or Lowositz, which he will remember one day. "AUGUST 29th, March to Budin; that is, southward, across the Eger, arrive within forty miles of Prag.
Lindsay is going to dine with me, too." "Well, Lindsay," the marshal said, as the latter entered, "you see the advantages of this young fellow being able to speak German well. If you had been taken prisoner at Lobositz, you would have been fast in Spielberg at present; and you see he is now able to undertake perilous missions, and peril means promotion."
