Eugene led a daring relief march to relieve the besieged Piedmontese capital, then attacked the French siege lines surrounding Turin with his Imperial army. Catching the French outside their own trenches, Eugene's assault shattered the besieging force. Marshal Marsin was mortally wounded and captured. The French abandoned all their guns and equipment as they fled.
