In late July 1796, a new Austrian commander, Dagobert Sigmund von Wurmser, led an army to the relief of Joseph Canto d'Irles's garrison from the north. The first relief of Mantua was launched at the end of July as a three-pronged attack by 49,000 men. Mantua was reached and the French were forced to abandon the siege; the siege's resumption is implied by the overall siege dates recorded for the blockade.
