Characters Present:
Ermólov
General Kutúzov
Location:
On the road leading from Stromílova to Dmítrovsk
General Kutúzov is in a column at the front of the army, and Ermólov keeps trying to convince him to attack. Kutúzov resists until he receives news that the French army are in retreat. Even then, he insists that the troops stop their advance every hundred paces to rest for 45 minutes.
The Russian side do not manage to capture Murat, and apart from Kutúzov's column, the most the army manages is to get a few hundred of its own men killed.
Kutúzov and Ermólov both receive awards from the Tsar for their part in the Battle of Tarútino.
