The <entity_0> (<entity_3>) was a victory for the <entity_5> force under Field Marshal Stepan Fyodorovich Apraksin over a smaller <entity_1> force commanded by Field Marshal Hans von Lehwaldt, during the <entity_2>. This was the first <entity_6> in which <entity_7> engaged during the <entity_2>. There remained a possibility that Prussia could lose Silesia to Austria, Pomerania to Sweden, Magdeburg to Saxony, and <entity_4> to Poland or <entity_7>: an entirely nightmarish scenario. In particular, <entity_4> was cut off from the rest of Prussia by 500 kilometers (311 mi) of Polish territory, and seemed an easy target, but some <entity_5> court officials—notably Chancellor Alexey Bestuzhev-Ryumin—opposed <entity_7>'s entry into what seemed like a largely western European dispute. The position in <entity_4> had stretched the <entity_5> supply lines, and the troops were forced to forage. In the aftermath, it was popularly expected in <entity_7> that Apraksin would pursue the <entity_1> retreat and eventually overrun all of <entity_4>; he was, after all, only 50 kilometers (31 mi) away from the Königsberg. Historians offer several reasons: after hearing a false report that Empress Elizabeth of <entity_7> had died; to support Peter III as heir to the throne; Apraxin marched on Königsberg but his troops, lacking in supplies, suffered considerable attrition; and, finally, an epidemic of smallpox, which hit the <entity_5> army, especially the Kalmyks, and resulted in 8.5 times more deaths than all the battles fought in 1757.
