Suvarov immediately placed the advance guard under his command and together with Bagration hastened to the battle.
When Suvarov ordered the infantry forward, Bagration approached Suvarov and, probably not understanding the importance of the moment, in a low voice asked him to delay the attack, since some of the infantry battalions had less than 40 men.
