Battle of Sainte-Barbe

The Chouans, routed at the Battle of Carnac, had retreated to the Quiberon peninsula. However, Puisaye did not want to stop there; he managed to convince d'Hervilly to launch a counterattack to take back Sainte-Barbe. On July 8, at two o'clock in the morning, 600 Chouans from Tinténiac and Cadoudal, supported by 2,000 emigrants, went on the attack. The former seized the outposts. The republicans of Humbert, initially caught off guard, retaliated with artillery, and the republican turncoats from the Royal Louis then fled, causing confusion in their ranks. d'Hervilly then ordered his troops to retreat, and Puisaye had to do the same. Few men had been killed during the clash, but Sainte-Barbe was definitively in the hands of the Republicans. General Louis Lemoine took charge of occupying it with the 5,000 men of the Rennes division. According to the representative Guezno, the republican forces then numbered between 15,000 and 16,000 men.
