During the Danish War of 1864 he succeeded to the command of the Prussians when Prince Friedrich Karl became commander-in-chief of the Allies. In the war of 1866 he commanded the Army of the Elbe which overran Saxony and invaded Bohemia.
Colonel Carl von Pöckh was sent to drive the Prussians back, and with a fierce infantry charge managed to force the 7th Division back to the outskirts of the forest. Flanking fire raked Pöckh's battalion, annihilating it as a fighting force and killing its commander.
Prussia’s Army of the Elbe, led by General Karl Erhard Herwarth von Bittenfeld, numbering 46,000 men in three infantry divisions, was instructed to invade Saxony and occupy Dresden.
