- Our brave friend Pierre gets the heck out of there as quickly as his feet will carry him and runs back to the battery for cover.
- But there’s something weird going on in the barrow. Pierre realizes that the battery officer is dead, and a French soldier is charging him!
- Pierre acts totally on instinct and grabs the guy. The French soldier grabs him. Then they stand there staring at each other in confusion. Who is whose prisoner?
- Pierre wins the imprisoning game of chicken, mostly because his grip is tighter, and the other guy kind of cries uncle when a cannonball sails by.
- Pierre wimps out, lets the guy go, and runs back down the hill. The French soldier runs back up to the battery.
- As Pierre runs down, a mob of Russian soldiers runs past him toward the battery. They storm the barrow and retake the battery from the French.
- The field is a horrible mess of corpses by now, but the battle keeps going.
