Chapter 23 (RBoC)

Some officers tell the soldiers that they must charge the rebel army to get anywhere and they do it with great energy. Henry keeps the flag in the front and urges on the men to run and fight. Henry felt like a mad man, running, but felt good. During their charge, the confederate army turned and ran, not giving the union army the satisfaction of charging them, and randomly turning back to shoot and continue running. But there was one group of rebels that stayed to fight, a group with their flag. Henry focuses on the soldier with the confederate flag. Henry's buddies shoot at the enemy and hit the flag-bearer. Henry is happy and goes to get it, but that flag-bearer knows his purpose and clutches it while trying to retreat. Wilson jumps over the fence and rips the flag from that guy's hands. There are four POWs and one was shot in the foot. The four prisoners all had different reactions to being a prisoner.
Everyone is congratulating each other and rejoicing!

Response- Glad to see that Henry did something... haha. I wonder if the POWs will end up getting killed. Good for Wilson for getting the rebel flag! He beat Henry. HA.

Question- Did the lieutenant make it?!?!?!
