The Schmalkaldic League itself did not initiate a direct military confrontation with the emperor, even though it had a significantly stronger army at its disposal in late July and August 1546, consisting of around 7,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry soldiers. Even after the imperial interdict had been declared on both of its main leaders, the league continued with a defensive strategy. Its goal was to gain control over major routes and prevent the emperor from making a swift incursion into the territories of league members. This strategy was successful in early July when the league managed to control the Ehrenberg PassEhrenberg Pass. Another tactical manoeuvre occurred when they occupied the Danubian fortress at IngolstadtIngolstadt without a fight on 25 July 1546.
