The first chapter opens with a description of a large party of Dun Cossacks, military personnel, riding in the dark and snowy moonlight through a snow-covered forest. The men ride on small horses and there are two gun carriages towed along by six horses for each. On the first is a cannon, and on the second, a body, badly injured but still living as can be told by the drops of blood still falling from it.
