The
sound
of
three
more
shots
came
from
the
gate
.
One
shot
struck
a
French
soldier
's
foot
,
and
from
behind
the
screens
came
the
strange
sound
of
a
few
voices
shouting
.
Instantly
as
at
a
word
of
command
the
expression
of
cheerful
serenity
on
the
faces
of
the
French
general
,
officers
,
and
men
changed
to
one
of
determined
concentrated
readiness
for
strife
and
suffering
.
To
all
of
them
from
the
marshal
to
the
least
soldier
,
that
place
was
not
the
Vozdvízhenka
,
Mokhaváya
,
or
Kutáfyev
Street
,
nor
the
Tróitsa
Gate
(
places
familiar
in
Moscow
)
,
but
a
new
battlefield
which
would
probably
prove
sanguinary
.
And
all
made
ready
for
that
battle
.
The
cries
from
the
gates
ceased
.
The
guns
were
advanced
,
the
artillerymen
blew
the
ash
off
their
linstocks
,
and
an
officer
gave
the
word
"
Fire
!
"
This
was
followed
by
two
whistling
sounds
of
canister
shot
,
one
after
another
.
The
shot
rattled
against
the
stone
of
the
gate
and
upon
the
wooden
beams
and
screens
,
and
two
wavering
clouds
of
smoke
rose
over
the
Square
.
A
few
instants
after
the
echo
of
the
reports
resounding
over
the
stone-built
Krémlin
had
died
away
the
French
heard
a
strange
sound
above
their
head
.
Thousands
of
crows
rose
above
the
walls
and
circled
in
the
air
,
cawing
and
noisily
flapping
their
wings
.
Together
with
that
sound
came
a
solitary
human
cry
from
the
gateway
and
amid
the
smoke
appeared
the
figure
of
a
bareheaded
man
in
a
peasant
's
coat
.
He
grasped
a
musket
and
took
aim
at
the
French
.
"
Fire
!
"
repeated
the
officer
once
more
,
and
the
reports
of
a
musket
and
of
two
cannon
shots
were
heard
simultaneously
.
The
gate
was
again
hidden
by
smoke
.
Nothing
more
stirred
behind
the
screens
and
the
French
infantry
soldiers
and
officers
advanced
to
the
gate
.
In
the
gateway
lay
three
wounded
and
four
dead
.
Two
men
in
peasant
coats
ran
away
at
the
foot
of
the
wall
,
toward
the
Známenka
.
"
Clear
that
away
!
"
said
the
officer
,
pointing
to
the
beams
and
the
corpses
,
and
the
French
soldiers
,
after
dispatching
the
wounded
,
threw
the
corpses
over
the
parapet
.
Who
these
men
were
nobody
knew
.
"
Clear
that
away
!
"
was
all
that
was
said
of
them
,
and
they
were
thrown
over
the
parapet
and
removed
later
on
that
they
might
not
stink
.
Thiers
alone
dedicates
a
few
eloquent
lines
to
their
memory
:
"
These
wretches
had
occupied
the
sacred
citadel
,
having
supplied
themselves
with
guns
from
the
arsenal
,
and
fired
"
(
the
wretches
)
"
at
the
French
.
Some
of
them
were
sabered
and
the
Krémlin
was
purged
of
their
presence
.
"
Murat
was
informed
that
the
way
had
been
cleared
.
The
French
entered
the
gates
and
began
pitching
their
camp
in
the
Senate
Square
.
Out
of
the
windows
of
the
Senate
House
the
soldiers
threw
chairs
into
the
Square
for
fuel
and
kindled
fires
there
.
Other
detachments
passed
through
the
Krémlin
and
encamped
along
the
Moroséyka
,
the
Lubyánka
,
and
Pokróvka
Streets
.
Others
quartered
themselves
along
the
Vozdvízhenka
,
the
Nikólski
,
and
the
Tverskóy
Streets
.
No
masters
of
the
houses
being
found
anywhere
,
the
French
were
not
billeted
on
the
inhabitants
as
is
usual
in
towns
but
lived
in
it
as
in
a
camp
.
