Description

When Batu Khan and Subadai Bahadur reached Hungary in the spring of 1241 they faced a large force of Hungarians supported by the Knights Templar. Feigning retreat for nine miles after reaching the city of Pest, the Mongols drew their enemies to the banks of a river near the village of Mohi, where they set up camp on high ground overlooking the bridge. Concealing their own camp, the Mongols watched as the Hungarians pitched their tents on the opposite bank, unaware that only a thin stretch of water separated them from the Golden Horde! As Batu led an attack on the bridge and the Templars guarding it, Subadai forded the river upstream, outflanked and routed the Hungarians. What followed was terrible carnage as the Mongols hunted down the fleeing troops all the way to Pest, which they razed to the ground. The Horde then marched on towards Vienna, only turning back when the death of Ogadai Khan required them to return to the East to choose his successor.
