But none of them distinguished himself more than Beaupuy, then a General of Brigade.
The Mayencais arrived in Vendee at the end of August or beginning of September 1793.

To Beaupuy's skill the victory of Chollet (Oct.

17, 1793) is attributed by Jomini.

In this battle he fought hand to hand with and overcame a Vendean cavalier.

He himself had three horses killed, and had a very narrow escape.
