In Chapter 35, Kutúzov follows the battle through reports, rejects Wolzogen’s claim of defeat, and orders an attack for the next day. Raévski’s report supports his confidence, and the announcement spreads through the exhausted Russian troops, giving them reassurance and renewed courage despite the strain of the fighting.
