A year after his victory at the Battle of Fleurus and the relief of Berden op Zoom, Christian of Brunswick found himself in command of a army of 15,000, freshly recruited and rested from winter quarters in the United Provinces. He reopened his campaign int he summer of 1623 by marching into the Lower Saxon Circle between the Wesser and Elbe Rivers. Calling upon Ernst von Mansfeld to fight alongside him as the two had done to some degree of success in 1622, he was refused due to lack of funds on Mansfeld's behalf. Christian now found himself in a position that he was in Catholic Territory with just his army and little possibility for reinforcement. To add to it, Count von Tilly had recieved word of Christian's movements and was now following him. Late July 1623 thus became a period of retreat for Christian's forces, as Tilly's troops had marched across the Saxon border on July 13. Christian reportedly marched across the Wesser and Ems]] Rivers on July 27 and a few days later respectively with Count von Tilly's more disciplined troops steadily gaining ground. 10 miles short of the border, Christian was overtaken and forced to turn and fight against Tilly's more numerous troops near the village of Stadtlohn in Westphalia. Taking position on a hill, Christian's forces withehld several attacks of increasing intensity before a attack by the Catholics caused the calvary on Christian's wings to break and rout. On this sight, the infantrymen attempted to do the same, but were stopped by a bog to the rear of them. What then turned into a disorganized retreat became a bloodbath as Tilly's forces swept upon the routing Protestants, killing some 6,000 and capturing 4,000 more as prisoners of war. Among the losses were 50 of Christian's highest ranking officers, and all of his artillery and ammunition. Christian himself escaped alongside 2,000 calvarymen.
