The
irregulars
destroyed
the
great
army
piecemeal
.
They
gathered
the
fallen
leaves
that
dropped
of
themselves
from
that
withered
tree
--
the
French
army
--
and
sometimes
shook
that
tree
itself
.
By
October
,
when
the
French
were
fleeing
toward
Smolénsk
,
there
were
hundreds
of
such
companies
,
of
various
sizes
and
characters
.
There
were
some
that
adopted
all
the
army
methods
and
had
infantry
,
artillery
,
staffs
,
and
the
comforts
of
life
.
Others
consisted
solely
of
Cossack
cavalry
.
There
were
also
small
scratch
groups
of
foot
and
horse
,
and
groups
of
peasants
and
landowners
that
remained
unknown
.
A
sacristan
commanded
one
party
which
captured
several
hundred
prisoners
in
the
course
of
a
month
;
and
there
was
Vasílisa
,
the
wife
of
a
village
elder
,
who
slew
hundreds
of
the
French
.
The
partisan
warfare
flamed
up
most
fiercely
in
the
latter
days
of
October
.
Its
first
period
had
passed
:
when
the
partisans
themselves
,
amazed
at
their
own
boldness
,
feared
every
minute
to
be
surrounded
and
captured
by
the
French
,
and
hid
in
the
forests
without
unsaddling
,
hardly
daring
to
dismount
and
always
expecting
to
be
pursued
.
By
the
end
of
October
this
kind
of
warfare
had
taken
definite
shape
:
it
had
become
clear
to
all
what
could
be
ventured
against
the
French
and
what
could
not
.
Now
only
the
commanders
of
detachments
with
staffs
,
and
moving
according
to
rules
at
a
distance
from
the
French
,
still
regarded
many
things
as
impossible
.
The
small
bands
that
had
started
their
activities
long
before
and
had
already
observed
the
French
closely
considered
things
possible
which
the
commanders
of
the
big
detachments
did
not
dare
to
contemplate
.
The
Cossacks
and
peasants
who
crept
in
among
the
French
now
considered
everything
possible
.
On
October
22
,
Denísov
(
who
was
one
of
the
irregulars
)
was
with
his
group
at
the
height
of
the
guerrilla
enthusiasm
.
Since
early
morning
he
and
his
party
had
been
on
the
move
.
All
day
long
he
had
been
watching
from
the
forest
that
skirted
the
highroad
a
large
French
convoy
of
cavalry
baggage
and
Russian
prisoners
separated
from
the
rest
of
the
army
,
which
--
as
was
learned
from
spies
and
prisoners
--
was
moving
under
a
strong
escort
to
Smolénsk
.
Besides
Denísov
and
Dólokhov
(
who
also
led
a
small
party
and
moved
in
Denísov
's
vicinity
)
,
the
commanders
of
some
large
divisions
with
staffs
also
knew
of
this
convoy
and
,
as
Denísov
expressed
it
,
were
sharpening
their
teeth
for
it
.
Two
of
the
commanders
of
large
parties
--
one
a
Pole
and
the
other
a
German
--
sent
invitations
to
Denísov
almost
simultaneously
,
requesting
him
to
join
up
with
their
divisions
to
attack
the
convoy
.
"
No
,
bwother
,
I
have
gwown
mustaches
myself
,
"
said
Denísov
on
reading
these
documents
,
and
he
wrote
to
the
German
that
,
despite
his
heartfelt
desire
to
serve
under
so
valiant
and
renowned
a
general
,
he
had
to
forgo
that
pleasure
because
he
was
already
under
the
command
of
the
Polish
general
.
To
the
Polish
general
he
replied
to
the
same
effect
,
informing
him
that
he
was
already
under
the
command
of
the
German
.
Having
arranged
matters
thus
,
Denísov
and
Dólokhov
intended
,
without
reporting
matters
to
the
higher
command
,
to
attack
and
seize
that
convoy
with
their
own
small
forces
.
On
October
22
it
was
moving
from
the
village
of
Mikúlino
to
that
of
Shámshevo
.
To
the
left
of
the
road
between
Mikúlino
and
Shámshevo
there
were
large
forests
,
extending
in
some
places
up
to
the
road
itself
though
in
others
a
mile
or
more
back
from
it
.
Through
these
forests
Denísov
and
his
party
rode
all
day
,
sometimes
keeping
well
back
in
them
and
sometimes
coming
to
the
very
edge
,
but
never
losing
sight
of
the
moving
French
.
That
morning
,
Cossacks
of
Denísov
's
party
had
seized
and
carried
off
into
the
forest
two
wagons
loaded
with
cavalry
saddles
,
which
had
stuck
in
the
mud
not
far
from
Mikúlino
where
the
forest
ran
close
to
the
road
.
Since
then
,
and
until
evening
,
the
party
had
watched
the
movements
of
the
French
without
attacking
It
was
necessary
to
let
the
French
reach
Shámshevo
quietly
without
alarming
them
and
then
,
after
joining
Dólokhov
who
was
to
come
that
evening
to
a
consultation
at
a
watchman
's
hut
in
the
forest
less
than
a
mile
from
Shámshevo
,
to
surprise
the
French
at
dawn
,
falling
like
an
avalanche
on
their
heads
from
two
sides
,
and
rout
and
capture
them
all
at
one
blow
.
In
their
rear
,
more
than
a
mile
from
Mikúlino
where
the
forest
came
right
up
to
the
road
,
six
Cossacks
were
posted
to
report
if
any
fresh
columns
of
French
should
show
themselves
.
Beyond
Shámshevo
,
Dólokhov
was
to
observe
the
road
in
the
same
way
,
to
find
out
at
what
distance
there
were
other
French
troops
.
They
reckoned
that
the
convoy
had
fifteen
hundred
men
.
Denísov
had
two
hundred
,
and
Dólokhov
might
have
as
many
more
,
but
the
disparity
of
numbers
did
not
deter
Denísov
.
All
that
he
now
wanted
to
know
was
what
troops
these
were
and
to
learn
that
he
had
to
capture
a
"
tongue
"
--
that
is
,
a
man
from
the
enemy
column
.
That
morning
's
attack
on
the
wagons
had
been
made
so
hastily
that
the
Frenchmen
with
the
wagons
had
all
been
killed
;
only
a
little
drummer
boy
had
been
taken
alive
,
and
as
he
was
a
straggler
he
could
tell
them
nothing
definite
about
the
troops
in
that
column
.
