The Austrians attempted to relieve the fortress of Mantua
under the command of General Josef Alvinczy. Napoleon sent two
French divisions under Joubert and Massena toward Rivoli to stop
the Austrians. On 14th January, they attacked the Austrians and
though outnumbered won a decisive victory. The next day
Joubert's division pursued the fleeing Austrians while Massena's
division marched toward a 2nd column of Austrians outside Mantua
and surrounded them. Massena became Duc D'Rivoli for his actions
in the battle.
