The combat of Gavi was fought to no avail on the morning of 17 August (O.S. 6 Aug.) 1799 during the Second Coalition war, in pursuit of the defeated French army after the battle of Novi. The combat included Rosenberg's Russian vanguard, under Rehbinder's command.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Action development

Before reaching Gavi, Kashkin's Russian jaegers overtook the French rearguard in a strong position between two mountains. Following the jaegers, Rehbinder advanced his regiment and Foertsch's battalion. After a brief skirmish, the Russians struck at bayonets and drove the French from their position and chased them without giving them a rest. Several hundred Republicans lay down on the spot; up to 130 were captured by the Russians. On the Russian side the loss did not exceed 5 killed and 17 wounded.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

But here the Russian vanguard received orders to halt, and to send some light troops after the French. The French rearguard held out at Gavi.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
