Characters Present:
General Bagratión
Nicholas Rostóv
Prince Dolgurúkov
General Kutúzov
Location:
Pratzen
Nicholas Rostóv is under the command of General Bagratión in the right flank of the army, who are yet to start fighting.
Bagratión disagrees with Prince Dolgurúkov's demand that they join the battle and sends Rostóv on a six mile trek, on which he will probably die, to ask General Kutúzov whether they should join or not.
Rostóv asks if he can ask the emperor if he runs into him first, which Bagratión agrees to. Rostóv rides off happily, but upon reaching the other side of the army, realises that the Austrians and Germans are firing at each other, and that they are completely flanked by the French.
