Chapter 17

so all of the soldiers are still waiting and they are all getting very tired and also anise but there is still no battle taking place. henry actually gets into a battle and keeps shooting and reloading over and over and he refuses to back down, i think he has realized what he did was wrong and now he is trying to prove he is a loyal soldier but then he hears this laughing coming from one of his fellow soldiers and then henry realizes he is firing at nothing, then all of the sudden the battle is over and the enemy fled. they all say that henry was great in the battle and the litunut said that if he had a lot (ten thousand) of men like henry he would probably win the war in a week. henry says that it was as if he had fallen asleep and woken as a knight.
Question: why all of the sudden do they all think so highly of henry, did he do something that great?
