The German general charges into the cut-off copse on his horse in a panic to see whether his men are being killed horribly, and happily, the pressure on the Germans has been eased by some Russian sharp-shooters.
Dólokhov has been killing the French shows several trophies in the way of personal items to Major Ekonómov, wishing to be remembered for his heroism.
Tushín is having a lovely time down at the front of the line with his battery and doesn't show any sign that he will obey when told to retreat by a staff-officer. Bolkónski reaches the battery and shakes Tushín's hand and says "Until we meet again". Tushín is described as having tears in his eyes as he watches Bolkónski ride away [1]
[1] Bolkónski and Tushín seem to have man-crushes on one another.
