The main force of 56,000 French troops commanded by Moreau and the 62,000 Austrian troops commanded by Archduke Johann met in Hohenlinden, a village 32 kilometers east of Munich. After winning the outpost, the Austrians rushed to pursue it, and the vanguard troops were severely beaten by the main French army at Hohenlinden. After the French army completed a circuitous maneuver and assaulted the enemy from the rear, they launched a general offensive, and the Austrians were forced to retreat. The Austrians lost 14,000 men (of whom 9,000 were captured), and the French suffered less than 3,000 casualties. The Austrian defeat at Hohenlinden and the subsequent French attack on Vienna forced Austria to withdraw from the war and sign the Peace of Luneville.
