APPENDIX, N° I. 
By this manner of marching, soldiers suffer 
no fatigue. The enemy does not expect us. — * 
He reckons us at least an hundred versts 
distant ; and when we come from far, two hun- 
dred, or three hundred, or more. We fall all at 
once upon him, like snow on the head. His head 
turns. Attack instantly, with whatever arrives 1 ', 
with what God sends. The Cavalry instantly 
fall to work — hack and slash! stab and drive! 
Cut them off! Don’t give them a moment’s rest. 
3. Energy. 
One leg strengthens the other! One hand 
fortifies the other ! By firing, many men are 
killed! The enemy has also hands; but he 
knows not the Russian bayonet! (alluding to the 
Turks!) Draw out the line immediately ; and 
instantly attack with cold arms! (the bayonet.) 
If there be not time to draw out the line, attack, 
from the defile, the Infantry, with the bayonet ; 
and the Cavalry will be at hand. — If there be a 
defile for a verst, and cartridges over your 
head, the guns will be your’s ! Commonly, 
the Cavalry make the first attack, and the 
Infantry follow. In general. Cavalry must 
attack like Infantry, except in swampy ground; 
(1) Whatever arrives . — Suvorof began the attack as soon as the 
Colours arrived, even if he had but half a regiment advanced.
