After an initial failed siege of Marienburg in August, the Russians began planning another attack in October.

Five companies from Adsel advanced towards Neuhof, around a mile from Marienburg, here, the Russians awaited reinforcements of 300 men from Neuhasen.

[1] Upon receiving reports of the Russian arrival in Neuhof, Captain Otto Leonard von Bülow was sent with 14 cavalrymen and 12 dragoons from Marienburg, making the Russians retreat around a mile and a half.

[1][3] Shortly after the successful raid, the Swedes, now reinforced with 80 peasants, continued towards Neuhasen, where they would encounter the troops from Adsel, and their camp was destroyed, with the few who were able to escape the fires being killed.

[3] Through Bülow's actions, the area had been completely cleansed of Russian forces, and their original plan to capture Marienburg was abandoned temporarily.
