Read the passage:
plunged in the battery smoke
right through the line they broke;
cossack and russian
reeled from the saber stroke
shattered and sundered.
then they rode back, but not,
not the six hundred
what is the meaning of the imagery in this passage?
the soldiers knew they could not win and retreated.
the soldiers could not win and burned the battlefield.
the soldiers were outnumbered and could not fight.
the soldiers fought hard and many died.
