Characters Present:
Pierre Bezukhov
Pierre Bezukhov
Location:
The Raévski Redoubt AKA the Knoll Battery
Pierre, who is terrified, manages to return to the battery. He notices that there are no shots being fired from the battery, but he does not notice that the colonel has been killed.
He hears someone yell out "brother" (in French it later turns out) and somehow, he ends up catching a French officer, but there is some confusion about who is whose prisoner. A canon-ball flies overhead, and they both duck, and Pierre releases his prisoner. The French begin to flee, and the Russians start to celebrate and take prisoners.
Looking at the horror around him, Pierre thinks that the armies must surely quit after this, but the battle rages on.
