War and Peace 2 5 1 by Crisp
What is it? I don’t move,
I fell, I’m killed.
There are people coming.
They will help me.
Who are these people?
They can’t be the French.
O God, You who’s in this sky,
forgive, save and protect me.
Are they coming to me?
Why?
To kill me?
Yes, they may kill me.
Me, who is loved by everyone?
It’s impossible
that they would want to kill me!
Captain Tushin’s battery had been
forgotten.
The troops assigned to cover it
had withdrawn.
The enemy could not conceive
that anyone would be so foolhardy
as to go on fighting
with four unprotected guns.
On the contrary, the French
supposed that it was here,
in the center, that the main Russian
forces were concentrated.
- Gentlemen, everyone fall back.
- Fall back everyone!
- What shall we fire, Captain?
- Nothing. A shell!
Fire!
All right, my little old lady,
don’t let me down!
What do you know! Firing again.
Captain Tushin! Captain!
Have you gone mad? Haven’t you
been ordered twice to fall back?
I just… I…
Fall back! Everybody fall back!
Your Excellency!
Here are two trophies.
I’ve captured a French officer,
the whole company’s a witness!
Very well.
Remember, Your Excellency,
I’m Dolokhov, reduced in rank!
I received a bayonet wound!
Stayed right up at the front!
