He crossed the river , hoping to be able to fall upon Lacy ; but the latter had moved off , and Frederick , pressing on , would have got fairly ahead of his enemies if it had not been for the heavy baggage train , which delayed him for five hours ; and by the time it came up he found that Lacy , Daun , and Loudon were all round him again . The situation seemed desperate . The army had but four days ' provisions left , and a scout sent out on the 12th reported that the roads over the hills were absolutely impassable for baggage . At eight o'clock the army set out again , recrossed the Katzbach , and again made for Liegnitz , which they reached after a sixteen hours ' march . Here the king halted for thirty hours , and his three enemies gathered round him again . They were ninety thousand strong , while he was but thirty . Daun made elaborate reconnaissances , and Frederick had no doubt that he would be attacked , that night or early the next morning .
