The guns were unlimbered, turned round, and loaded.

Then the line of cavalry opened right and left, the four pieces poured a discharge of grape into the Russians, clustered thickly in the battery four hundred yards away, and then, with a shout, the Swedish cavalry charged, the infantry coming on at a run behind them.
The surprise was complete.

With cries of terror, the Russians for the most part leapt from the battery and fled, and the few who attempted to defend their guns were sabred by the cavalry.
"There are other works ahead!" Major Sion exclaimed, as, sitting on his horse, he looked over the parapet, "and bodies of troops scattered all about.

Push forward, men, at a double, and do you, Captain Sherlbach, cut a way for us with your cavalry." The sun had set a few minutes before the guns were fired, and Charlie, as he led his men over the earthwork, and saw the Russian lines in front, congratulated himself upon the fact that, in another half hour, it would be quite dark.

As they approached the next line of works, a scattering fire of musketry opened upon them, but the aim was wide, and without loss they reached the work.
