‎Seven Years War. The Battle of Zorndorf in Prussia, a Prussian army of 25,000 men under Frederick fought to a standstill with a Russian army of 40,000 commanded by Count Fermor. The Russians withdrew from the field. In the undecided Battle of Tornow on September 25, a Swedish army repulsed six assaults by a Prussian army. On October 14, the Austrians surprised the main Prussian army at the Battle of Hochkirk. Frederick lost much of his artillery but retreated in good order. ‎
