糊 糊 涂 的 战 争
the battle of zorndorf was fought on 25 august 1758 between the russians under count william fermor and the prussians under frederick the great, and ended in prussian victory. during the battle, the russian cavalry was routed and had to flee towards the lines of the russian infantrymen but these, confused by clouds of dust and gun smoke, mistook them for the prussians and opened artillery fire.

frederick: that was a diabolical day. did you understand what was going on?
catt: your majesty, i had a good grasp of the preliminary march, and the final arrangements for the battle. but the rest escaped me.
