Christian's military actions begin in 1622 when Ernst von Mansfeld begins organizing his forces and expresses interest in linking up with his army, especially after his ally Georg Friedrich, Margrave of Baden-Durlach, is crushingly defeated at the Battle of Wimpfen.
After participated in a number of plunderings and burnings along the France-Germany border and throughout the Netherlands, Christian fights alongside the Count of Mansfeld in the Battle of Höchst, June 22, 1622, and although Christian is arguably defeated by Tilly, he is able to escape with much of his army despite crossing a river under heavy fire and losing all of his baggage.
