Derfflinger and his cavalry took off in pursuit of the Swedes on the morning of 24 September. The latter had now reached Altefähr, where utter confusion broke out, as they all wanted to get to Stralsund. The Brandenburg cavalry took advantage of this opportunity and stormed the ramparts.

Königsmarck succeeded with great difficulty in escaping, but many overcrowded boats sank during the crossing.
