 Battle of Hohenfriedberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On June 30 when the Prince finally did cross, Frederick saw his opportunity to attack, because under Hans Joachim von Zieten, his Hussars had been shadowing the enemy army almost daily waiting for the right moment to strike their blow.
After getting a fix on the enemy forces behind the Striegau River, Frederick's plan was to march his army north during the night in total secrecy with his commander, Richard de Moulin, leading the way.
The portions of the Prussian Army that had still not crossed the Striegau River to the north seemed to spontaneously wheel to the west and advance through river crossings wherever they could find them, and found enough fords through the river to accomplish this.
