That's what they should have told the people. By running, he forced the enemy to pursue him, which weakened the attacking force and left his pursuers exposed to a counter attack. Honestly, that might have been the generals strategy when he told the king to run.

Technically, the general used the king as a diversionary tactic, distracting enemy forces long enough to turn the tide of battle. 😅 There were standing orders and traditions that rewarded soldiers for capturing high nobility.
Well his general thought it was hopeless and sent him away as a contingency plan. The fact they won is just an added bonus. But yes, the real winner was Mollwitz Grey. What a good boy, taking part in march parades.
This is a good shot for the "lies" section. The horses name was NOT MOLLWITZ grey. Mollwitz was where the battle was. Its actual name was "Condé". And FUNFACT: Conde died almost 20 years AFTER Friedrich, at the age of 38.
There's never a shortage of people who want to be king. There's minor royalty all over the place, even the bloke who runs the local post office is _something_ in line to the throne. Doesn't matter if one king dies, there's always another. There was no danger of Prussia being monarch-less.
To be fair if the king dies without a heir a power vacuum would be opened witch may end up in a large power struggle And also the battle was really chaotic so even tho they won he could’ve died so this was probably the best decision they could’ve made
There is no evidence that Hidalgo was real or that Hopkins did 99% of the things he claimed. Despite fairly good records about other employees, there is no evidence that Hopkins worked for Buffalo Bill. There is also no evidence of a 3,000 mile desert race ever being held. It was just a tall tale he fooled people into believing.
Do you think horses understood what was going on in war. I mean did they think we were playing a funny game with loudsticks and we would just fall asleep. And if they did know what was going on I wonder if there was like some crazy horses that were like yeah these people are dying this is pretty cool.
Frederick was with his cavalry in this battle. The Austrian cavalry outnumbered them 2:1 so when they charged into the Prussian squadrons, the Prussians broke and fled. The Prussian cavalry at this time were not as well trained and disciplined as their infantry counterparts. It was the discipline of the infantry and the experience of Count Schwerin that won the day.
Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine. He never drank water, he always drank wine. His bridle was silver, his main it was gold. And the worth of his saddle has never been told. Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and Stewball was there But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare. And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all, Came a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble Stewball. I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay If I'd have bet on ol' Stewball, I'd be a free man today. Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans. I'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home. Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine. He never drank water, he always drank wine.
I wish they bothered to name this fine equine soldier. I have an engraved pewter plate of Fred on horseback from the 1780s. Yeah, he was still a thing that later on.
One of my favorite quotes of Frederick the Great: “Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar* brawl.” Note: Sometimes the quote is depicted as saying “an ugly brawl” instead.
To be fair, I wouldn't exactly hold it against him. In that position, retreat certainly seems like the most reasonable option, not necessarily a cowardly one. If anything, I'd have to praise the general who won in his absence rather than shame Frederick

Ironically running away probably helped.
1 The enemy was distracted chasing him.
2 The army didnt need to assign soldiers to guard him.
Exactly. Tactically very sound decisions all around.Who cares about "heroism" if you're leadership is all dead
From my professors analysis of the event. Your dead right.

Funnily enough, he never bore heirs anyway.

@@sparkyblizz of course not, his oblique attack tactics ain't exactly straight!
I wonder if the reason the General was able to turn things around was because the Cavalry broke off their charge to persue Fredrick?
Probably.
honestly that seems incredibly likely
It definitely didn’t make his job harder.

This is a good shot for the "lies" section.
The horses name was NOT MOLLWITZ grey. Mollwitz was where the battle was. Its actual name was "Condé".
And FUNFACT: Conde died almost 20 years AFTER Friedrich, at the age of 38.
I was too close to laughing at the end. Too close.
The EC Jellybean Horsies are iconic at this point.
At least the general lived to corroborate Fred’s story. Otherwise its “Yeah, sure. You WANTED to stay, but your general made you flee.”
That is certified Good boy behavior! 😊
I didnt flee i strategically stayed alive
Could’ve sworn I saw this a week ago
They posted two at the same time, then took one down. Because it was that important.
Yep, a mistake on our part but it's BACK!
Déjà vu?
Austrian Soldier: Ain't no way Dude is running
Prussian General: I will win this battle
Frederick the Great: Bruh
Going into any battle with no heir seems like a terrible idea anyways tbh.
Funnily enough, he never had an Heir anyways. Maybe it was because of his attack tactics, (Ain't exactly straight)

I mean at the time, the general wasn't wrong.
It's a tactical retreat
So he got in trouble for listening to what The general running the battle thought he should do
It is not embarrassing for a King to runaway who was in the front lines to charge in battle especially if they are in the frontlines despite no heirs
