The day after the capture of Dorpat, the Swedish forces (3,000 soldiers) suddenly attacked the Poles and Lithuanians camped under Wenden.

[1] Led by Colonel Maciej Dembiński, the Polish–Lithuanian army, despite the surprise, quickly prepared for battle and went into offensive.

In the meantime, Jürgen von Farensbach arrived with reinforcements, increasing the Polish–Lithuanian troop count to 700 soldiers.

The Swedish riders attempting to use Caracole were faced with the charge of the hussars, commonly used on battlefields by the Polish-Lithuanian armies.

[1][2] The battle was won by the Poles and Lithuanians, who, however, were not able to take advantage of their victory as their troops, having not been paid in a long time, begun looting the local countryside.
