On August 3, at the second Battle of Lonato, Napoleon sent Despinoy's force from Brescia to turn Quasdanovich's right flank at Gavardo, while Sauret attacked his left flank at Salò with Dallemagne's brigade marching between them. Napoleon assured Sauret's hungry men that they could find food in the enemy camp. As Pijon's brigade was being driven from Lonato, Napoleon arrived with elements of Masséna's division. He ordered the 32nd Line Demi-Brigade into a bayonet charge, supported by the 18th Line. Despite losing both battalion commanders, they pushed the Austrians back towards Desenzano, where they encountered Napoleon's cavalry and accepted defeat. Quasdanovich retreated around the north side of the lake to rejoin Wurmser.

Augereau successfully recaptured Castiglione on August 3 after sixteen hours of intense fighting. Napoleon recognized Augereau's crucial role in the battle, and for years afterward, he would defend Augereau against criticism by saying, "Ah, but let us not forget that he saved us at Castiglione."
