Diwanus

Twenty knights and their men sallied out to fight the joint forces of Batians and Sudovians in an open battle.

[4] The garrison at Schippenbeil was left with too few soldiers and supplies to withstand the siege and escaped through Galindia to Masovia.

Diwanus expected that fugitives would take a shorter route north to Balga or Königsberg, therefore the knights had a head start.

The Prussians, who managed to escape, joined their cavalry while the Knights set up their camp on the opposite bank of the Dzierzgoń River, blocking the route home.

Diwanus tried to persuade them to surrender, but they refused and tried to hide their true strength by dressing every soldier as a noble knight.
