ROCK SHIRTS: which consisted of the Azov and Podolsk infantry and the Pavlograd rock shirts was simultaneously attacked and outflanked by superior French forces rock shirts Lannes and was thrown into confusion. Bagration had sent Zherkov to the general commanding that left flank with orders to retreat immediately. Zherkov, not removing his hand from rock shirts cap, turned his horse about and galloped off. But no sooner had he left Bagration than his courage failed him. He was seized by panic and could not go where it was dangerous. Having reached the left flank, instead of going to the front where the firing was, he began to look for the general and his staff where they could not possibly be, and so did not deliver the order. The command of the left flank belonged rock shirts seniority to the commander of the regiment Kutuzov had reviewedROCK SHIRTS: at Braunau and in which Dolokhov was serving as a private. But the command of the extreme left flank had been assigned to the commander of the Pavlograd regiment in which Rostov was serving, and a misunderstanding rock shirts The two rock shirts were much exasperated with one rock shirts and, long after the action had begun on the right flank and the French were already advancing, were engaged in discussion with the sole object of offending one another. But rock shirts regiments, both cavalry and infantry, were by no means ready for the impending action. From privates to general they were not expecting a battle and were engaged in peaceful occupations, the cavalry feeding the horses and the infantry collecting wood. "He higher iss dan I in rank," said the German colonel of the hussars, flushing and addressing an adjutant who had ridden
ROCK SHIRTS: up, "so let him do what he vill, but I cannot sacrifice my hussars... rock shirts sount ze retreat!" But haste was becoming imperative. Cannon and musketry, mingling together, thundered on the right and in the center, while the capotes of Lannes' sharpshooters were already seen crossing the milldam and forming up within twice the range of a musket shot. The general in command of the infantry went toward his horse with jerky steps, and rock shirts mounted rock shirts himself up very straight and tall and rock shirts to the Pavlograd commander. The commanders met with polite bows but with secret malevolence in their hearts. "Once again, Colonel," said the general, "I can't leave half my men in the wood. I beg of you, I beg of you," he repeated, "to occupy the position and prepare for an attack." "I peg of you
ROCK SHIRTS: yourself not to mix in vot is not your business!" suddenly replied the irate colonel. "If you vere in the cavalry..." "I am not in the cavalry, Colonel, rock shirts I am a Russian general and if you are not aware of the fact..." "Quite avare, your excellency," suddenly shouted the colonel, touching his horse and turning purple in the face. "Vill you be so goot to come to ze front and see dat zis position iss no goot? I don't vish to destroy my men for your pleasure!" "You forget yourself, Colonel. I am not considering my own pleasure and rock shirts won't allow it to be said!" Taking the colonel's outburst as a challenge to his courage, the general expanded his chest and rode, rock shirts beside him to the front line, as rock shirts their differences would be settled there amongst
ROCK SHIRTS: the bullets. They reached the front, several bullets rock shirts over them, and they halted in silence. There was nothing fresh to be seen from the line, for from where they had been before it had been evident that it was impossible for rock shirts to act among the bushes and broken ground, as well as that the French were outflanking our left. rock shirts general and colonel looked sternly and significantly at one another like two rock shirts cocks preparing for battle, each vainly trying to detect signs of cowardice in the other. Both passed the examination successfully. As there was nothing to said, and neither wished to give occasion for it to be alleged that he had been the first to leave the range of fire, they would have remained there for a long time testing each other's courage had it not
