A French general and statesman, who was the Marshal General of France. In 1805, Soult's IV Corps crossed Augsburg and cut off Austrian troops. After a heavy attack by the French army, Frenches had surrounded entire Austrian army at Ulm, and four days later Austrians surrendered with 25,000 men, 18 generals, 65 guns, and 40 standards. And in the Battle of Austerlitz, Soult led the IV Corps to attack the allied center on the Pratzen Heights, which was weakened due to the heavy Allied deployment against the French right. With the Allied center demolished, the French swept through both enemy flanks. Soult was a skillful military strategist and one of only six officers in French history to receive the distinction of Marshal General of France.
