"Well, that's always," said Nesvitsky waved his hand, said. - How are you here? He turned to Zherekov. - Yes, the same. However, you died, let me burn you. - You said, Mr. headquarters officer, - continued the colonel offended tone ... "Colonel," the Sweet officer interrupted, "it is necessary to hurry, and then the enemy will hold the gun on the floor shot. Colonel silently looked at the Sweet officer, on the Tolstoy Headquarters of the officer, in Zherkov and frowned. "I will burn the bridge," he said to a solemn tone, as if he expressed that, despite all the troubles made him, he would still do what was. Having hit her long muscular legs, as if she was to blame for everything, the colonel moved forward to the 2 mu squadron, the one in which Rostov served under the command Denisov, commanded to go back to the bridge. "Well, it is," Rostov thought, "he wants to test me!" - He heart squeezed him, and blood rushed to her face. "Let it look, the coward of Lee" - he thought. Again on all fun faces of the squadron people, there was such a serious trait that was on them while they stood under the nuclei. Rostov, not a launching eye, looked at his enemy, a regimental commander, wanting to find confirmation of his guessing on his face; But the colonel never looked at Rostov, and watched, as always in the front, strictly and solemnly. The team was heard. - Vivid! Vividly! - Speak around him several votes. Clinging to the sabers over the reins, rod by spurs and hurried, hussars got out, not knowing what they would do. Hussars were baptized. Rostov no longer looked at the regimental commander, - he had no time. He was afraid, she was afraid of his heart, as if he would not fall behind Gusar. His hand trembled when he handed the horse to the horse, and he felt the blood sticks to His heart with a knock. Denisov, wandering back and shouting something, drove by him. Rostov did not see anything except the hussar who clung around him cling to spurs and sabers. - stretcher! - whose voice shouted at the back. Rostov did not think about what the requirement of stretcher means: he fled, trying only to be ahead of everyone; But at the most bridge, he, despite his feet, got into a viscous, mushroom dirt and, stumbled upon, fell on his hands. Other came together. - According to both side, Rothmistra, "the voice of the regimental commander heard him, who, having come forward, became riding near the bridge with a triumphant and a fun face. Rostov, wiping the evaporated hands about the checkers, looked back on her enemy and wanted to run on, believing what he would go further, the better. But Bogdanych, although he did not look and did not recognize Rostov, shouted on him: - Who on the middle of the bridge runs? On the right side! Junker, back! He shouted angrily and turned to Denisov, who, bothering courage, drove on the bridge board. - Why risks, Rothmist! You would get out, "said Colonel. - e! It will be guilty, "Vaska Denisov answered, turning on the saddle. Meanwhile, Nesvitsky, Zhero and the Sweet officer stood together outside the shots and looked at this small bunch of people in yellow kivers, dark green jackets, embroidered with sneurops, and blue chains, kept at the bridge, then on the other side, on the blue hoods and groups approaching With horses that could be easily recognized for the gun. "Light or not lit a bridge? Who before? Will they try and lit a bridge, or the French will drive up on the floor shot and turn them away? " These questions with the fading of the heart involuntarily asked himself every large number The troops who stood above the bridge and with bright evening light looked at the bridge and hussars and on the other side, on the navigable blue hoods with bayonets and guns. - Oh! Get hussars! - said Nesvitsky, - not on the boot shot now. "In vain, he led so many people," said the Sweet officer. "And in fact," said Nesvitsky. - There would be two wellers to send, it would be anyway. "Ah, your clay," the barbell intervened, not the descent of her eyes with the hussar, but everything with his naive manner, because of which it was impossible to guess, whether he was serious, or not. - Oh, your clay! How do you judge! You will send two people, and we will give anyone to Vladimir with a bow? And so, although it is furious, you can imagine a squadron and a bow yourself to receive. Our Bogdanych orders know. - Well, - said the Sweet officer, - this is a drift! He showed the French guns, which were filmed from the forefront and hastily drove away. On the French side, in those groups where the guns were, the smoke, another, the third, almost at one time, and at that moment, as the sound of the first shot, appeared fourth. Two sounds, one by one, and the third. - Oh, oh! - Nesvitsky hooked, as if from a burning pain, grabbing a sweat officer for the hand. - Look, one fell, fell, fell! - Two, it seems? "I would be a king, I would never have fought," said Nesvitsky, turning away. French guns again hurriedly charged. Infantry in blue hoods running to the bridge. Again, but in different intervals, hamsmen appeared, and lasted and shrinkled the cart over the bridge. But this time Nesvitsky could not see what was done on the bridge. From the bridge rose thick smoke. The hussars managed to light the bridge, and the French batteries shot them no longer in order to prevent, and for the fact that the guns were hooked and was to shoot. - The French managed to make three shipy shots before the hussars returned to the cloods. Two volley were made incorrectly, and the droplet was transferred to the whole, but the last shot came to the middle of the hussar head and threw three. Rostov, concerned about his relationship to Bogdanchu, stopped on the bridge, not knowing what to do. Hugging (as he always imagined the battle) was somehow, to help in the insight of the bridge, he also could not, because he did not take with him like other soldiers, harvesters. He stood and looked around, as the scattered nuts suddenly swattered on the bridge, and one of the hussar, the closer than all of him from him, fell on the railing. Rostov ran toward him with others. Someone shouted again: "Stretchs!" Hussar picked up four people and raised. - ooooo! ... Throw, for the sake of Christ, - the wounded shouted; But all the same raised and put it. Nikolay Rostov turned away and, as if looking for something, began to look at the distance, on the water Danube, on the sky, in the sun. How well it seemed to the sky, like blue, calm and deeply! How brightly and solemnly lowered sun! How gently glittered gloss water in the distant Danube! And even better were distant, pigeonous mountains, the monastery, mysterious gorge, filled to macush fog pine forests ... there quietly, happily ... "Nothing I would not want anything, I would not want anything, if I were only there, - Thought Rostov. - In me, one and this sun is so much of happie, and here ... moans, suffering, fear and this ambiguity, this hasty ... But again, screaming something, and again everyone ran somewhere back, and I run with them, and now she , here she, death, it is necessary for me, around me ... Moment - and I will never see this sun, this water, this gorge "... At that moment the sun began to hide behind the clouds; Other stretchers appeared ahead of Rostov. And the fear of death and stretcher, and the love of the Sun and Life - everything merged into one painful anxious impression. "Lord God! One who is there in this sky, save, forgive and defend me! " Rostov whispered about himself. Hussars ran up to the cowards, the voices became louder and calmer, stretchers disappeared from the eyes. - What, BG "AT, who sniffed" Ohu? "- I shouted the voice of Vaska Denisov's voice. "Everything is over; But I am a coward, yes, I'm a coward, "Rostov thought and, heavily sighing, took a griffon from the hands of a horse's hands and began to sit down. - What was it, to cart? He asked Denisov. - Yes, what else! - shouted Denisov. - Well done, "Abotali! AB" Abote "Naya! Attack - a kind thing, Mr." Uba in Pessi, and here, a chog "knows what, beaten like a target. And Denisov drove away to the group who stopped near Rostov: the regimental commander, Nesvitsky, Gherkov and the Sweet officer. "However, it seems, no one noticed," Rostov thought. And indeed, no one noticed anything, because everyone was familiar with the feeling that the Juncker had experienced for the first time. "That's a relationship to you," said Zhero, "you look, and I will produce me to mydorors." "Decide the prince that I bridge lit," the colonel said solemn and fun. - And if the loss will ask about the loss? - trifle! - I was trying the colonel, - two hussars were injured, and one pushed, "he said with apparently joy, unable to stay from a happy smile, sonorous cut beautiful word Out. Pursued by a hundredsmate french army under the authorities of Bonaparte, found by hostile by the inhabitants, not trusting more than its allies, experiencing a lack of food and forced to act outside of all foreseeable war conditions, the Russian thirty-fightened army, under the entrance of Kutuzov, hastily retreated down the Danube, stopping where she I used to overtake the enemy, and having filled with ariergore affairs, only as much as it was necessary in order to retreat, without losing weights. There were cases under Lambah, Ashteten and a melk; But, despite the courage and persistence, recognized by the enemy himself, with which the Russians fought, the consequence of these cases was only the fastest retreat. Austrian troops who avoided captivity under Ulm and joined Kutuzov in Brownau, now separated from the Russian army, and Kutuzov was granted only to its weak, depleted forces. Protect more vein could not think. Instead of offensive, deeply thoughtful, according to the laws new Science - Strategies, War, the plan of which was transferred to Kutuzov in his excellence in Vienna, Austrian corrugation, the only one, almost unaccounted the goal, which was now Kutuzov, was that, without destroying the army, like Maku under Ulm, connect with the troops who were sown from Russia. On October 28, Kutuzov, with the army, switched to the left bank of the Danube and stopped for the first time, putting the Danube among himself and the main forces of the French. The 30th he attacked the Mortie Danube Danube Danube and broke it. In this case, trophies were taken for the first time: banner, guns and two enemy generals. For the first time after a two-week digression, the Russian troops stopped and after the struggle not only kept the battlefield, but the French were driven. Despite the fact that the troops were divided, bewitled, one-third weakened by backward, injured, killed and sick; Despite the fact that on the side of the Danube, patients were left and wounded with the letter of Kutuzov, who ordered them to humanity to the enemy; Despite the fact that large hospitals and houses in Kream, facing Lazaruts, could not hold all the patients and wounded in themselves, - despite all this, stopping with Kreme and Victory over Mortier significantly raised the spirit of troops. In the whole army and in the main apartment went the most joyful, although unfair rumors about the imaginary approximation of the columns from Russia, about some kind of victory observed by the Austrians, and on the retreat of frightened Bonaparte.
