It is April 8, 1241, somewhere near Liegnitz. Kaidu, leader of 20,000 Mongols (just part of the 70,000 Mongols ultimately pursuing the objective of conquering Hungary), sat in his ger sipping koumiss and discussing his campaign with Baidar. Their objective was to draw off any Polish support Hungary might receive, . We muand now Duke Henry II of Silesia was marching out of Liegnitz towards the plain at Wahlstadt with 30,000 men unknowingly just ahead of King Wenceslas with 50,000 Bohemian reinforcementsst engage them before they unite. We march for Wahlstadt, said Kaidu. Baidar agreed silently...
Duke Henry II kneeled in his private quarters in Liegnitz, eyes closed, breathing deeply. He had the last major army in Poland, his actions now could decide the fate of his country. The Mongols had destroyed Sandomir and Lublin. Now Liegnitz was next. King Wenceslas was coming from Bohemia with reinforcements, but the Mongols might be getting reinforced too. He made the decision to march out with his force of Polish knights, Teutonic Knights, French Knights Templar and a levy of foot soldiers, including German gold miners from the town of Goldbergo. As he rode out of the city a stone from the roof of St. Mary's Church fell and narrowly missed him, an omen of bad luck...
