Defeated?

The first paragraph states "Over 30% of Frederick's army was defeated..." Since he had 30,000 troops and just a bit over 9,000 were killed, wounded or captured, shouldn't that read "Over 30% of Frederick's army was killed, wounded or captured... or better yet... "Frederick's army suffered over 30% casualties." Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 01:13, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
