Battle of Zell
The battle of Maria Zell was fought in the foothills of Tyrolean Alps on 6 November 1805. While Napoleon was pursuing Coalition Armies east of Ulm, French corps under Marmont and Davout were ordered to prevent interference from Austrian Army forces to the south, in northern Italy and the Alps. Davout’s column entered the Alpine foothills in late October, plundering Austrian supply depots en route, and surprised General Merveldt’s 10,000 men guarding the passes around the village of Zell. Attacked across the snow before he had time to organize, Merveldt lost 8,000 men before managing to reassemble his routed corps in Hungary.


Bataille de Zell

La bataille de Mariazell eut lieu sur les contreforts des Alpes tyroliennes le 6 Novembre 1805. Alors que Napoléon poursuivait les armées de la Coalition à l'est d'Ulm, Marmont et Davout, à la tête des (IIème et IIIème) Corps français, avaient ordre d'empêcher au sud l'intervention des forces armées autrichiennes, en Italie du nord et dans les Alpes. La colonne de Davout entra dans les contreforts des Alpes fin octobre, pillant en route les dépôts de provisions autrichiens, et surprit le Général Merveldt et ses 10,000 hommes montant la garde devant les cols, autour du village de Zell. Attaqué dans la neige avant qu'il n'ait eu le temps de s'organiser, Merveldt perdit 8,000 hommes, réussissant, pour finir, à rassembler son Corps d'armée en déroute, en Hongrie.
