The new French people's armies formed by Leon Gambetta took to the field in the winter of late 1870 to break the Prussian siege of Paris and come to the aid of the hungry city. The attack would come from the south largely around the city of Orleans which had been captured by the Germans. The French Army did defeat a Bavarian Corp and retake Orleans but then the tide turned against the French.
