Battle of Marengo by Jacques Augustin Pajou. Napoleon was surprised by the enemy on the plain of Bormida. 30,000 Austrians attacked 22,000 French at 9 oclock on the morning of 14th June 1800. The day went badly for Napoleon and by 5 oclock he retreated. Later that day he stopped his retreat and re-advanced, and it was at this point that General Desaix was killed. This victory was nearly a defeat. |
