It was evident , then , that his intention was to relieve the Saxon army , in the first place . The roads through the defiles were very heavy and difficult , but that afternoon the advance force reached Termitz . Late in the evening the rest of the army arrived there . A squadron of cavalry had been sent off , as soon as the vanguard arrived , to ascertain the movements of the enemy ; and they returned , at ten at night , with information that the Austrians had crossed the Eger that day , and were to encamp at Lobositz . The army at once moved on across the mountains and , after a very difficult and fatiguing march , arrived near Lobositz ; and lay down for some hours in the order in which they had marched , taking up their position as soon as it was light . -LSB- Map : Battle of Lobositz -RSB- The infantry were in two lines .
