Immediately after that junction a council of war was held, in which it was resolved to attack the King of Prussia in the camp of Ober Arnolds; but next day his Majesty set fire to his camp, and fell back to Schweidnitz which disconcerted our measures. And part of our forces marched into the camp which the enemy abandoned. A new plan of attack was settled, but it was disconcerted, like the former, the King having taken a new position between Schweidnitz and Zobtenberg. This post is very strong by nature, and the enemy whole principal aim seems to be to gain time, is entrenched to the teeth.

Event Details
The Russian army joined Laudohn's on the 25th, with regiments in battle order for five days but no enemy action. A council of war decided to attack the King of Prussia at Ober Arnolds camp, but he burned it and fell back to Schweidnitz, disrupting measures. Part of allied forces occupied the abandoned camp. A new attack plan was formed but similarly foiled as the King took a strong position between Schweidnitz and Zobtenberg.
