		Under the impression, in consequence of a furious charge of Austrian cavalry, that the battle was lost, he rode rapidly away at an early stage of the struggle - a mistake which gave rise for a time to the groundless idea that he lacked personal courage.
		In the former year Frederick triumphed, at a heavy cost, over the Russians at Zorndorf; and although, through lack of his usual foresight, he lost the battle of Hochkirch, he prevented the Austrians from deriving any real advantage from their triumph, Silesia still remaining in his hands at the end of the year.
		The battle of Kunersdorf, fought on the 12th of August 1759, was the most disastrous to him in the course of the war.

		How far this may influence the dispositions in the battle is not an affair of Strategy, but the decision to fight the battle is in intimate connection with it, as is shown by the direction given to our forces, and their general grouping, whether we threaten the enemy's flank or rear, or he threatens ours.
		At the battle of Kunersdorf,[] Frederick the Great at the first onset carried the left of the Russian position, and took seventy pieces of artillery; at the end of the battle* both were lost again, and the whole result of the first combat was wiped out of the account.
		The decision which is given by the great battle, depends, we have said, partly on the battle itself, that is on the number of troops engaged, and partly on the magnitude of the success.

	Chapter Tension and Rest of On War by Clausewitz
		If a state of tension exists, the effects of the decision are always greater partly because a greater force of will and a greater pressure of circumstances manifest themselves therein; partly because everything has been prepared and arranged for a great movement.
		Now the real use which we derive from these reflections is the conclusion that every measure which is taken during a state of tension is more important and more prolific in results than the same measure could be in a state of equilibrium, and that this importance increases immensely in the highest degrees of tension.
		In a tract of country which the enemy abandons to us because he cannot defend it, we can settle ourselves differently from what we should do if the retreat of the enemy was only made with the view to a decision under more favourable circumstances.

	Clausewitz, ON WAR - Book V-Chapter 7
		Every body of troops, when not completely in readiness for battle, requires an advanced guard to learn the approach of the enemy, and to gain further particulars respecting his force before he comes in sight, for the range of vision, as a rule, does not go much beyond the range of firearms.
		According as more or less time is required to be gained, according as the opposition to be offered is calculated upon and intended to meet the special measures of the enemy, so accordingly must the strength of the advanced guard and outposts be proportioned.
		Because plainly the central point of a strip of country along which the front of an army is extended must always be the most important point, as all the combinations of the campaign relate mostly to it, and therefore the field of battle is also usually nearer to it than to the wings.

	History of Friedrich II by Thomas Carlyle: SEVEN-YEARS WAR RISES TO A HEIGHT Chapter 14 BATTLE OF HOCHKIRCH
		A very few words, compressed to the utmost,--merely as preface to Hochkirch, whither we must hasten; Hochkirch being the one incident which, except to studious soldiers, has now and here any interest, out of the very many incidents which, then and there, were so intensely interesting to all mankind.
		Marching on, Friedrich, from the knoll of Hochkirch, shoulder of the southern Hills, gets complete view of Daun,--stretching north and south, at right angles to the Zittau roads and to Friedrich, in the way we described;--and is a little surprised, and I could guess piqued, at seeing Daun in such a state of forwardness.
		Towards Hochkirch and the top of this brook, the opposing posts are quite crammed close on one another; divided only by their hollow.

	THE KEITHS
		Three years later he had the command of three regiments at the battle of Worcester, where he displayed the hereditary bravery of his house, but was overpowered by numbers and taken prisoner.
		At the instigation of their mother, who was a Roman Catholic and a Jacobite, the two brothers, no doubt smarting under the treatment they had received, repaired to the standard which Mar had set up in Aberdeenshire and took part in the ill-advised and badly managed rebellion of 1715.
		His career was brought to a close at the sanguinary battle of Hochkirch, fought between the Prussians and the Austrians, October 14th, 1758, when he was killed by a cannon-ball, in the sixty-third year of his age.

		The case of the park of Hougoumont at the battle of Waterloo is a fine example of the influence the possession of such a position, well chosen and strongly defended, may have in deciding the fate of a battle.
		At Hochkirch and Kolin the possession of the woods was very important.
		To facilitate rallying the skirmishers on the columns, it would be, perhaps, better to take the whole fourth division for that purpose, thus giving nine ranks, or three divisions of three ranks, against infantry, while against cavalry there would be twelve ranks.] ARTICLE XLV.

	Battle of Hochkirch
		When we played this scenario the Prussians looked like they were going to stop the Austrians somewhere around Pommritz: Arenberg and Buccow were annihalated soon after they arrived which freed up the Prussian Advance Guard to send units to hold the line that Keith was stabilizing facing south.
		The Austrians had taken the works south of Hochkirch, had destroyed Bierbestein and badly damaged Kanitz and were poised to attack Hochkirch.
		This is a rather different SYW battle to most as it was a very odd action with no formal lines at all but a sort of Prussian pioneer wagon circle affair holding off the swarms of Austrian injuns.

		From this it follows, that the assailant in a combat at night wants his eyes just as much as the defender, and that therefore, only particular reasons can make a night attack advisable.
		As surprise is the real sense of them so also stealing through is the chief condition of execution: but this is more easily done with small bodies than with large, and for the columns of a whole army is seldom practicable.
		For this reason such enterprises are in general only directed against single outposts, and can only be feasible against greater corps if they are without sufficient outposts, like Frederick the Great at Hochkirch.
