Siege of Marsal

The siege of Marsal was a battle of the Franco-Prussian War on August 13 to 14, 1870 between the French Empire and the combined German forces of Prussia and Bavaria in Marsal. Under the command of Lieutenant General Jakob von Hartmann, after replacing the Prussian 4th Cavalry Division, II Corps of the Kingdom of Bavaria forced the surrender of the French Empire's defenses, after a brief resistance by the French troops stationed at the fortress. Marsal fell to the German army in the same period as the French fortresses of Lichtenberg, La Petite-Pierre and Vitry. With the quick victory of the Bavarian army at Marsal, the road from Dieuze to Nancy was open to the Germans. In addition, the siege also brought the Germans many raw materials for the war, as well as hundreds of prisoners.
