Characters Present:
Pierre Bezukhov
Bennigsen
Location:
Bennigsen
Location:
Górki; the Raévski Redoubt, also called the Knoll Battery; Semënovsk; and looking over the Shevárdino Redoubt
Pierre goes on a tour of the lines with Bennigsen, who gives commands to generals as they go along.
They ride along to the left of the line, and come upon a hill that is unmanned. The generals argue that it is foolish to leave it unmanned, since having the higher ground is beneficial in battle. Bennigsen agrees with this, and moves troops about without telling the Commander-in-Chief.
This is a mistake, as the troops were supposed to be concealed to create a sudden ambush.
