Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Swedish, under command of Lewenhaupt, managed to crush the combined Russo-Lithuanian Army while taking very few casualties.

After the battle, Count Lewenhaupt decided to remain in Swedish controlled Lithuanian instead of chasing the Russian army, since his force was so small.

They placed supply wagons in front of them to ward off a potential Swedish cavalry charge.

Their commander managed to briefly regain control of the Lithuanian units, and they smashed into the Swedish right flank, who were now fighting both contingents of the allied army.
