Years: 1108 - 1251
The horde of Kaidu Khan, three tumen strong, is to the north of the main body, protecting the right flank .
Kaidu sweeps through Lithuania and Poland; on March 18 he destroys the Polish army at Kraków.
He detaches a tumen to raid along the Baltic coast and with the remainder heads westward into Silesia.
On April 9, 1241, at Liegnitz (Legnica, in Poland), the more disciplined Mongol army decisively defeats a numerically superior combined European army in a bitterly contested battle.
