Location:

It is nightfall and the battle is coming to an end.   Rostóv, still with a wounded arm, rides on one of the canons in Captain Tushín's battery until they set camp for the evening.

Tushín is called into a hut that has some high-ranking officers and General Bagratión dining in it.  Bagratión scolds him in front of everyone for losing two guns in the battle.  Tushín, who is on the brink of exhaustion, apologises and is then unable to say anything, lest he implicate other officers.  Bolkónski, furious, speaks out and says that Tushín actually saved the day and that they should be thanking him.  

It is revealed that the French do not attack again on the following day and that the remains of Bagratión's detachment are reunited to Kutúzov's army.

The German general charges into the cut-off copse on his horse in a panic to see whether his men are being killed horribly, and happily, the pressure on the Germans has been eased by some Russian sharp-shooters.

Dólokhov has been killing the French shows several trophies in the way of personal items to Major Ekonómov, wishing to be remembered for his heroism.

Tushín is having a lovely time down at the front of the line with his battery and doesn't show any sign that he will obey when told to retreat by a staff-officer.  Bolkónski reaches the battery and shakes Tushín's hand and says "Until we meet again". Tushín is described as having tears in his eyes as he watches Bolkónski ride away [1]
