The capitulation of Stettin had prevented Prussian General Blücher from passing the frontier into Eastern Pomerania.
Now Blücher was determined to escape from the French at any cost.
Murat, together with Lasalle, Bernadotte and Soult were in hot pursuit, forcing Blücher farther and farther to the north.
Having run out of Prussian territory, On 5 November, he marched into the neutral city-state of Lübeck, where he demanded money and food from the city authorities.
The next day, Bernadotte's men arrived and attacked the walls.
Lasalle was among these men and fought bravely.

During the Battle of Golymin, General Lasalle led his legendary "Hellish Brigade" against a Russian battery of 12-15 guns.
The hussars charged with vigor but were abruptly seized with panic, turned about and, in disorder, stampeded back to the rear.
Of the whole brigade only the elite company of the 7th Hussars, placed immediately behind Lasalle himself, remained firmly at their posts.
Lasalle was furious.
He rode after them, screamed "Halt!",
and brought them back.
Lasalle kept them within a short range from the Russian guns as punishment for their behavior, standing 20 paces in front of his men, remaining motionless and calm, although under enemy fire.

He then finally rallied his troops and commanded "Break the ranks!",
and with the support of Klein's dragoon division charged the enemy from the flank.
The Russians were routed and fled under the cover of artillery as Lasalle pursued until the battle was won.
