The French were led by Baron de Coutaud, while the Austrians were led by Archduke Charles. The Austrians had to retreat. During the battle Napoleon himself was wounded by a bullet, which hit his ankle. The shot had been fired at great distance and did not severely hurt the Emperor, but caused a contusion.
