Wurzburg
3 September, 1796
Following
the clash at Amberg,
Archduke
Charles
again fought with General
Jourdan at Wurzburg and, as at that previous meeting,
carried a distinct numerical superiority going into the
battle.
His
44,000 troops flanked 30,000 Frenchmen, on both wings, and
sent Jourdan reeling backwards in a series of desperate
rearguard actions.
French
losses were 3000 men at Wurzburg, while the victors had
half that many.
