After they had taken control they proceeded to burn down the town before leaving with their booty.

By the end of the month, his army comprised some 27,000 men grouped into three divisions. One was commanded by Ferdinand himself, one by Prince Isenburg, and the third by the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp.
