Editing Battle of Trebbia (1799) (section)

===Further steps===

The Allies persued the French until 21 June, reaching [[Fiorenzuola]] where they rested the next day. Suvorov determined from captured dispatches that MacDonald's mangled army was no longer a threat to northern Italy and marched the Allied army back west on the 23rd, hoping to catch Moreau between himself and Bellegarde. Ott with 7,000 foot, 2,000 horse and 15 guns continued the pursuit, keeping an eye on the French army. MacDonald, scattering his forces once again, ordered Montrichard's division to the east where it was used to form some garrisons which were subsequently captured. One battalion of ''Warasdiner'' Grenz and one squadron of the ''Bussy'' Mounted Jägers tried to block MacDonald's retreat but were crushed on 24 June at [[Sassuolo]] south of Modena.<ref name=Duffy112/> 

By 28 June the ''Army of Naples'' was back at Pistoia where it stayed for several days before marching to the west coast in early July. The still ailing MacDonald was shipped off to France and replaced in command by [[Laurent Gouvion Saint-Cyr]]. The garrisons in south and central Italy were picked off one-by-one by the Allies.<ref name=Duffy112/> Naples surrendered on 15 June,<ref name="Smith159" /> Fort Elmo in Naples harbor on 11 July, [[Capua]] on 28 July,<ref name="Smith160" /> [[Gaeta]] on 1 August,<ref name="Smith161">Smith (1998), p. 161</ref> Rome on 29 September<ref>Smith (1998), p. 169</ref> and [[Ancona]] on 13 November 1799.<ref>Smith (1998), p. 173</ref> Even the French-held fortresses of northern Italy fell rapidly.
