Battles led
- 1799 Battle of Zurich Victory
On 25–26 September 1799, near Zurich, General Masséna won a major victory over Korsakov's Austro-Russian army, forcing the coalition to withdraw from Switzerland and retaking the city on 26 September.
- 1805 Battle of Caldiero Indecisive
The Battle of Caldiero pitted Masséna's troops against those of Archduke Charles in difficult weather conditions. Despite several attempts, the French failed to break the Austrian lines.
- 1810 Battle of Bussaco Defeat
Masséna attempted to break through the Anglo-Portuguese defensive line entrenched on the heights of Bussaco. The frontal assault led by Reynier and Ney failed against a well-organized defense and well-positioned allied artillery. Despite numerical superiority, the French army suffered a costly tactical defeat.
- 1811 Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro Indecisive
The battle opposed Masséna, attempting to relieve the French garrison besieged at Almeida, to Wellington, firmly entrenched at Fuentes de Oñoro. After two days of skirmishing, Masséna launched a massive attack on 5 May. Despite initial success on the British right flank, allied resistance held. The French army withdrew without breaking the blockade.
