The Dutch stadtholder Maurice of Nassau, taking advantage of the fact that the bulk of the Spanish army was busied in operations in France, besieged the town of Groenlo in Gelderland, but the elderly governor of the citadel of Antwerp, Cristóbal de Mondragón, organized a relief army and forced Maurice to lift the siege.

rdf:langString This skirmish on the Lippe has no special significance in a military point of view, but it derives more than a passing interest, not only from the death of many a brave and distinguished soldier, but for the illustration of human vigour triumphing, both physically and mentally, over the infirmities of old age, given by the achievement of Christopher Mondragon. Alone he had planned his expedition across the country from Antwerp, alone he had insisted on crossing the Rhine, while younger soldiers hesitated; alone, with his own active brain and busy hands, he had outwitted the famous young chieftain of the Netherlands, counteracted his subtle policy, and set the counter-ambush by which his choicest cavalry were cut to pieces, and one of his bravest generals slain. So far could the icy blood of ninety-two prevail against the vigour of twenty-eight.

Mondragón next moved to Wesel, positioning his troops on the southern bank of the Lippe river to cover Rheinberg from a Dutch attack. Maurice aimed then, relying on his superior army, to entice Mondragón into a pitched battle, planning to use an ambush to draw the Spanish army into a trap. However, the plan was discovered by the Spanish commander, who organized a counter-ambush. The Dutch intended to overtake a Spanish foraging convoy and deliver it into their camp in order to draw the Spanish army in pursuit to the banks of the Lippe, where Maurice was awaiting with the Dutch States Army in order of battle. However, Mondragón reinforced the escort of the convoy and hid a large force of cavalry in a wood nearby under his lieutenant Juan de Córdoba. Thanks to Mondragón's long experience, the Spanish routed the Dutch force and inflicted a number of casualties upon Philip of Nassau's men, including himself and several other high-ranking Dutch and English officers in the Dutch army.

Mondragón si spostò successivamente verso la città di Wesel, posizionando le sue truppe lungo la riva sud del fiume Lippe per difendere la città di Rheinberg da un possibile attacco olandese. Maurizio voleva quindi, in ragione della superiorità del suo esercito, ingaggiare una battaglia con gli uomini di Mondragón sfruttando la tecnica delle imboscate per attirare gli spagnoli in una trappola. Ad ogni modo, il piano venne scoperto ed il comandante spagnolo organizzò una contro-imboscata. Gli olandesi intendevano prendere il convoglio di viveri degli spagnoli ed inviarlo al loro campo così da innescare nel nemico una fuga verso le rive del fiume Lippe, dove Maurizio li avrebbe aspettati col grosso dell'esercito già schierato in ordine di battaglia. Ad ogni modo, Mondragón rinforzò la scorta del convoglio e nascose un corpo di cavalleria nei boschi circostanti al comando del suo luogotenente, Juan de Córdoba. Grazie alla lunga esperienza militare del generale Mondragón, gli spagnoli giocarono gli olandesi e inflissero loro un gran numero di perdite, incluso lo stesso Filippo di Nassau che mo poco dopo per le ferite riportate in combattimento.
