February 1802 CE

Leclerc launches a simultaneous assault on February 17 with the divisions he has formed.

Rochambeau on the left sets out from Fort-Dauphin towards Saint-Michel, while Hardy marches on Marmelade and Desfourneaux on Plaisance.

At the same time general Humbert is to land at Port-de-Paix to climb up the Trois-Rivières gorge, and Boudet to move up from south to north.

The aim is to surprise the enemy, force him to retreat to Les Gonaïves and there encircle him.

Despite the difficulties of the terrain and Maurepas's resistance, the plan works well.
