With a low trump/six

I understand that: I trumped my ace.

But, I can't understand that: I trumped my ace with a six.

What does with a six mean? 6 trump cards?

Plus, I don't get the meaning of 'a low trump' as in He took my ace with a low trump.

I assume you understand that there are 4 suits in a deck of cards. Assume diamonds are trumps. You play an ace.

I don't. In bridge (I assume that is the card game.) you trump your opponent's ace, or your opponent trumps your ace. You cannot trump your own ace!
