They did not meet in combat till May 1864, when the Battle of the Wilderness demonstrated the different strengths of the two commanders, who were equally matched.

From then on, Grant simply pressed Lee towards the inevitable Confederate surrender, speeded by Grant's ending of the system of prisoner exchange.

The number of engagements during this 10-month interval cannot be realistically calculated. You may count Spotsylvania or the Crater as battles, or as operations within a bigger campaign.
