The Battle of Pułtusk takes place on December 26, 1806, during the War of the Fourth Coalition near Pułtusk, Poland.
Approximately forty thousand Russian soldiers with one hundred and twenty-eight guns guns under General Levin August, Count von Bennigsen resist the attacks of twenty-five thousand French Empire soldiers under Marshal Jean Lannes.
Although the attacks are repulsed and the French are driven back to their positions, the Russians safely withdraw the day after this Napoleonic Wars action to prevent being surrounded by the entire French army,[ hich is why some historians view the battle as indecisive.
Pułtusk is located on the west bank of the River Narew approximately fifty kilometerrs (thirty-one miles) north of Warsaw.
