Napoleon's Plan to Conquer Milan
After a short series of battles, Napoleon's army of Italy was victorious in subduing Piedmont, and their next task was to conquer the wealthy and strategically important Duchy of Milan. The Austrians, led by General Boulie, had been bloodied but were far from beaten, with nearly 30,000 men available for field operations. Napoleon and his troops were in Carrasco, Piedmont and ready to continue their offensive. The conquest of Milan was the next objective.
