During the fourth relief attempt, Bonaparte deployed divisions at Rivoli, Verona, Legnago, west of Lake Garda, and Mantua, while Sérurier's 10,000 men blockaded the city.
To defend against the fourth relief attempt, Bonaparte deployed Brevet General of Division Barthélemy Catherine Joubert's 10,300-man division near Rivoli in the upper Adige valley, Masséna's 9,000 men at Verona, Augereau's 9,000 troops behind the Adige near Legnago, General of Division Gabriel Venance Rey's 4,000 soldiers west of Lake Garda, and Sérurier's 10,000 blockading Mantua. The Rivoli 1797 campaign order of battle records the French and Austrian units engaged in this final relief effort.
