sentences:  Several skirmishes ("Scharmuetzel"), broke out, one on June 27, 1629 at Honigfelde (Honigfeldt on older maps) south of Sztum, where Gustav Adolph led his army of total of 4,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry from Marienburg (Malbork) against the Imperial and Polish forces.The Swedish objective to confront one opposing force before the enemy could link up failed, and Gustav was forced to withdraw towards Marienburg (Malbork) to avoid their now superior numbers.However, discovering his withdrawal, Polish hetman, Koniecpolski and von Arnim dispatched a force of 1,300 hussars, 1,200 light cavalry and 2,000 reiters to harry the Swedes.
