Indeed the battle appeared to be lost, for Prussian guns had been dismounted by Austrian fire, and in the wooded ground the needle-gun was of little effect. Herwarth also was checked on the right, and things were not going much better for the Prussians in the centre. The Prussians were becoming very uneasy and were pre- paring for a disaster. The night before the Crown Prince had promised Prince Frederick Charles that he would be on the field at 2 P. M. , but was engaged with the Austrian right... as early as 12. 30 P. M. The army of the Crown Prince was occupying a position with regard to the First army, similar to that which the Prussian troops held towards Wellington on the day of Waterloo. By 1 P. M. He obtained possession of the villages of Hovenarves and Rasitz, the Austrians offering but little resistance, because they were engaged with the corps of Franzesky, who was carrying the village of Benatek. The Prussian guards then proceeded to attack the strong position of Chlum, and when they arrived on the pursuit they saw between themselves and the fortress of Koniggratz the whole of the Aus- trian reserves to the number of forty thousand men, while between them and their comrades of the First army were the Austrians engaged near Lipa and in the Sadowa wood.
