Book 2 - Chapter 19

Characters Present (or discussed):

Captain Tushín 
A German colonel
A Russian general
Zherkóv
Nicholas Rostóv
General Bagratión


Location: 

Still in Znaime

Captain Tushín's plan to set the village on fire was successful, and the French are slightly delayed as they rush to put it out.

General Bagratión sends Zherkóv to tell the left flank to retreat, and Zherkóv finds a German colonel and a Russian general arguing.  Apparently the German won't command his men to fight as they are outnumbered - he refuses on the grounds that he doesn't want to do kill his men for the entertainment of the Russian.  The French get in around the back of the Germans, so they have to fight to get out anyway.

Rostóv's arm gets maimed horribly when he falls of his horse, which got maimed seconds before, and he runs away when he notices French soldiers coming to either capture or kill him.
