The had attempted to storm the mountainous valley despite the Defenses the Piedmontese couldn't win in open combat against the French and were forced to retreat across Piedmont in the Remaining Italian and Swiss Alps in the West as French forces enacted reprisals against the Populations however pro French ethnic Italian armies were created to aid in occupying territory however the regime couldn't trrust the Piedmontese...

Continuing the Mauersbach French forces took even more losses when the attempted to cross the river to surrond the city here the the Danube was attempted
And it was a Disaster The French forces who participated in the attempted crossing faced heavy Austrian resistance from the start and was completely destroyed by the Austrian Counter Attack severing crossing Detachments luckily Moreau wasn't there or France would have been defeated right there and then he had handed the battle to Bernadotte and returned to France "claiming responsibility for the victory" this irritated many in the Soldat Glorieux clique. Bernadotte won the day right there and then by breaching on the eastern sector cutting off the Austrians taking heavy losses in the process but the Austrian Army was defeated and Archduke Joseph conceded yet Prussia joined the Coalition the same day as the City fell.
