At the beginning of June, Bennigsen launched an offensive against the forces of Emperor Napoleon in East Prussia. The Russian commander planned to trap Ney's corps between several converging columns.

Afraid of being cut off in his turn, Bennigsen ordered a retreat on the night of the 7th as Napoleon instructed his forces to counterattack the Russians. The decisive Battle of Friedland was fought a week later on 14 June.
