The combat of Gavi was fought to no avail on the morning of 17 August (O.S. 6 Aug.) 1799 during the Second Coalition war, in pursuit of the defeated French army after the battle of Novi. The combat included Rosenberg's Russian vanguard, under Rehbinder's command.
Before reaching Gavi, Kashkin's Russian jaegers overtook the French rearguard in a strong position between two mountains. Following the jaegers, Rehbinder advanced his regiment and Foertsch's battalion. After a brief skirmish, the Russians struck at bayonets and drove the French from their position and chased them without giving them a rest. Several hundred Republicans lay down on the spot; up to 130 were captured by the Russians. On the Russian side the loss did not exceed 5 killed and 17 wounded.
But here the Russian vanguard received orders to halt, and to send some light troops after the French. The French rearguard held out at Gavi.
