War and Peace Volume 3, Part 2, Chapter 32 Summary

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.
