After Borghetto, Beaulieu's Austrians left a strong garrison in Mantua and retreated to Trento; the French invested the fortress in early June 1796.
Following his defeat by General of Division Bonaparte's French army at the Battle of Borghetto, Feldzeugmeister Johann Beaulieu abandoned the line of the Mincio River, left a strong garrison in the fortress of Mantua, and retreated north to Trento. Having driven the Austrians out of northwest and north-central Italy, the French invested Mantua starting in early June 1796, beginning the blockade that would last until the city's surrender.
