The Battle of Lippa was an engagement which took place on 13 September 1813 in the French Illyrian provinces between the Napoleonic Italian and Austrian forces.
Battle
[edit]After the lost Battle of Lippa and several rumors Italian viceroy Eugene had to change plans and ordered an attack from Ljubljana on the Austrian position near Šmarje-Sap for September 13. However, the outnumbered Austrians were in a strong position and managed to hold all Italian attacks, finally repulsing them.[1][2]
