Chapter 26 two

Five days later, Subotai and Bergo led an army back from near the Don River. Batu set the banquet place at the Grand Duke's Mansion in Harix. Everything is ready, the banquet is about to begin, except for the two kings Guiyou and Buli who have not yet arrived, all the other kings and important generals have gathered in the spacious hall of the Grand Duke's Mansion. Subotai, Mengge, Beidar and others all respected Batu and sat on it.Batu was magnanimous and not good at polite manners, so he just sat down when he refused.While Mengge sent someone to invite Guiyou and Buli, he held a cup with his own hands, poured a glass of wine, and offered it to Batu respectfully: "Batu brother, I respect you for this glass of wine. Oros, Qincha , Buli'er have all surrendered, and you have made great contributions."

Batu stood up hastily, and declined, "I dare not be greedy for credit. This is all the credit of the old general Subutai and the brothers of the kings. It is the result of the bloody battle of the soldiers of the Western Expedition." "Nevertheless, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, the prince should accept this glass of wine on behalf of all the soldiers." Brother Mang stood up and persuaded. "Yes, commander-in-chief, please drink this cup first, so that our banquet can begin." Subotai, who is over 60 years old but still has the same prestige as before, also persuaded with a smile.To be honest, the war has progressed smoothly since these days, and the old general is very pleased.

"Okay." Batu no longer refused, and drank the wine in one gulp. Subotai also offered a toast: "Commander, please have another drink." Batu still accepted.When he put down the wine glass, he found Guiyou and Buli standing at the door at some point, Guiyou's thin face was flushed with red tide, but Buli's eyes were bursting with anger. Batu's heart throbbed for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious. Meng Ge followed Batu's eyes sensitively and looked towards the door. "Guiyou, Buli, you are late. What are you doing standing there? Come here quickly. Buli, you are a junior, and you should toast the commander." Meng Ge felt Buli's hostility, and hurriedly pretended to be relaxed To smooth things over, the words are peaceful but irresistible.

Guiyu and Buri walked to Batu's desk without saying a word.Mengge poured a glass of wine and handed it to Buli, but Buli shrank his hands and refused to take it, Guiyou took it instead.Batu slowly returned to his seat. Suddenly, Guiyou raised his hand and poured a glass of wine on Batu's face. Badu was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment. The cheerful atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.Uneasy commotion spread to every corner of the hall, a young guard subconsciously clenched his waist knife, he was Dimi. Dimi suppressed his anger and stepped forward to wipe the wine for Batu.Guiyou shouted: "Get out!"

Dimi was unmoved. Batu smiled at Dimi and said, "Go down, it's okay." Demi stepped back reluctantly. An unreadable expression appeared on Batu's face, but it was fleeting. Batu's calmness further stimulated Guiyou's sensitive nerves. Like a furious beast, he kicked open the desk and grabbed Batu's collar.His hand strength was too strong, Batu was actually pulled up by him, and he staggered a few steps forward before barely standing still. "what are you going to do?" "Spit out the two glasses of wine you drank first!" "Oh?"

"Spit it out!" "Your resentment is just because I had two glasses of wine before you?" "Have you forgotten that I am the eldest son of Ogedei Khan? If you dare to sit in the most honorable position with peace of mind, I should have taught you a lesson long ago!" "Do you really think so in your heart? I'm afraid it may not be the case. Guiyu, why are you so angry, I know very well." "Bastard! Shut up! What right do you have to be so presumptuous to me? You bearded woman! Lame man!" "Uncle Guiyou is right. Did you fight this battle alone? Why do you take the credit for it? Do you really think we can't convince you? You...I..." Buri was a nonchalant temper, and always I have a close relationship with Guiyou, seeing that Guiyou has already moved his hand, his mouth is stupid, he can't say what he wants to say, so he is furious, and he pulls off the bow on his back and swings at Badu.Meng Ge was the closest to the three of them, and blocked it quickly with his eyes and hands, and Buli's bow only scratched a shallow mark on Batu's face.

"Okay! Have you guys had enough trouble! Guiyu, let go of your hand! You are so rude to our brother and lose your temper! No, put down the bow!" Just now, everything happened so suddenly that not only other people, but also Meng Ge was stunned for a moment.Seeing that Buli was going to attack Batu again, Meng Ge just woke up, took a step forward, grabbed the hard bow in Buli's hand, and threw it on the ground viciously. "you!" Brother Bie Er was about to stand up from his seat when Erdo stretched out his hand to grab him.Berger's eyes glistened with anger, and Bei Dar's face was equally ugly. He was ashamed of his nephew's behavior.

However, in the face of such insults, Batu remained incomprehensibly calm and silent from beginning to end. "Brother Meng, it's none of your business! Let me teach this arrogant bastard a lesson! He doesn't take you and my brother seriously. Does he really think that Xi Zheng's achievements are all his own?" Gui You said angrily. "Batu brother never thought that way. But you, Guiyu, Buli, what you did today really made me feel ashamed for you. I know what you are thinking, but let me tell you, here, Batu is not only our elder brother, but also the veritable commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army. Your actions have completely violated the Da Zhasa formulated by Zuhan. Your unreasonable troubles will only chill the hearts of the soldiers. I think you probably don’t I hope the Great Khan understands the whole story of this matter, right?"

Guiyou's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and his voice was hoarse than before: "Do you want to use father's sweat to suppress us? Brother Meng?" "Is there a better choice than this for those who violated Dazasa? Guiyu, Buri, I sincerely hope that you can apologize to the commander." "Ridiculous! To teach someone who doesn't understand the rules, to apologize?" "Actually, you are the ones who really don't understand the rules! As I have already said, if you apologize to the commander immediately, I can see that I will not report what happened today because of my brothers, uncles and nephews. If you are still stubborn In order to maintain the majesty of the commander in chief and the Western Expeditionary Army, I can only report your actions truthfully, and everything will be decided by the Great Khan."

"So you're going to fight me to the end?" "So what?" Faced with Mengge's anger, Guiyou and Buli couldn't help feeling guilty.Strange to say, Guiyou didn't pay attention to the famous Baba, and he never forgot the vow he made when Weixuan got married.But Mongo is different.Meng Ge grew up beside Zu Khan since he was a child, adhering to Zu Khan's precepts and deeds, forming a special majesty. Even Wo Kuotai Khan himself is very generous and obedient to Meng Ge.However, on such an occasion, Guiyu really couldn't bear to let a cousin who was two years younger than him reprimand him in public.After thinking about it, he had to leave angrily.Buli calmed down, hesitated again and again, and finally admitted his mistake to Ba.

Batu forgave Buli with his characteristic tolerance. As if inadvertently, the eyes of Batu and Mengge met.Subotai saw that they looked at each other and smiled. This is a heart-to-heart friendship that has nothing to do with blood. Meng Ge did what he said, and immediately after the banquet, he sent his younger brother Xu Liewu to report the conflicts that occurred at the banquet to the Great Khan Wo Kuotai.Wo Kuotai was rejoicing at the rapid progress of the Western Expeditionary Army, but he did not expect to hear that his eldest son had such an incident, he couldn't help being furious, and immediately sent an envoy to follow Xu Liewu to the Western Expeditionary Army to pass on his oral order: Guiyou will return immediately In the army, confess to Batu, otherwise he will be exiled to the frontier and never used. The messenger also brought Guiyou a secret letter from Hai Mi, which was written in a hurry when Hai Mi learned that the messenger was about to leave.The wording of the secret letter is harsh, warning Guiyou that if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess.The letter also borrowed the words of Empress Naimazhen that after Kuo Chu died of illness, Wo Kuo Tai Khan intended to establish the young Ai Sun Shi Lie as his successor. Become a person who was completely abandoned by the Great Khan.Guiyou has always obeyed his mother's words, and under the pressure of his father Khan, he had to return to the Western Expeditionary Army and plead guilty to Batu. A storm temporarily subsided. Batu immediately set up his battalion and divided his troops into three groups, continuing to advance westward.On the way, Batu's war horse stumbled suddenly and threw Batu under the horse. Fortunately, there was heavy snow on the road, so Batu was fine. Meng Ge came over after hearing the news, checked the horse himself, and finally found a small and sharp iron nail in the horse's hoof.After analysis, Meng Ge believed that the iron nail was apparently soaked in an anesthetic, and then nailed to the horse's hoof.At first, the horse didn't feel any pain, and walked as usual. As the medicine disappeared, the horse gradually became unbearable pain, and then threw its owner under the horse. So, who did it? Dimi's figure flashed in Meng Ge's mind. Di Mi is a careful and responsible horse breeder. Since his return, he has bred all of Batu's war horses to be fat and strong, including the two most often ridden war horses of Batu.Batu's trust in Dimi was indeed different from ordinary people, and he would directly tell Dimi many things. It was for this reason that only Dimi knew which war horse Batu would ride before he set off.If it was tampering, Dimi was the most suspected. Soon, Di Mi was brought before Batu and Meng Ge. Di Mi was very calm, and met Meng Ge's questioning gaze. "You must have done it." Meng Ge asked straight to the point. Dimi looked at Batu, and Batu's eyes flashed with an indecipherable light, as if he was unwilling to believe it, and he seemed unwilling to let Dimi admit it. "Yes." Demi replied bluntly.His directness surprised Meng Ge and Batu, and they quickly looked at each other. "Why?" Meng Ge asked. Dimi looked at him provocatively, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Although Batu was not surprised, deep down he had mixed feelings. "But why didn't you run away?" Batu asked calmly after a long time. "what?" "You have plenty of time to leave, why stay?" Dimi probably didn't expect that Ba would ask him such a question, so he couldn't help being stunned. yeah, why? Could it be... from the beginning to the end, I had no intention of escaping at all? A subtle silence enveloped the three people in the hall. Meng Ge was thoughtful, while Batu and Dimi were silent for a while because they had their own concerns. After a long time, Batu was the first to break the silence: "Now, do you feel better?" "Feel good?" "You must have figured it out before you made such a move." If I can figure it all out, I will make your steed stumble on the battlefield.Dimi thought silently.It is because there are too many things that I can't figure out, so I want to end all this early.Otherwise, I'm afraid I will never be able to do anything to you again. The light coming in from the skylight shone on Demi's flawless face. He stared calmly at Batu with a pair of dark blue eyes. Suddenly, a deep pain appeared on Batu's face. "You, really want me to die that much?" "No!" The answer came so quickly that Dimi blurted out the word before he was ready.As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he bit his lips hard almost in regret. Meng Ge had already noticed the unusual relationship between Batu and Dimi, so he sat down on the chair silently, listening to the conversation between Batu and Dimi calmly. "Now, what are your plans?" "die." "why?" "And why! Well, let me tell you: the reason why I chose to surrender at the beginning was to have the opportunity to kill you and avenge my parents. Although I did not achieve my goal, I have done what I should do , I can go underground to meet them." "Your parents, can you tell me who they are?" "You don't need to know." "Since you hate me so much and can't forgive, you just go, the farther you go, the better." "You won't kill me?" Batu slowly approached Dimi.He was so close to him, staring at him for a long time, Dimi could even feel his warm breath.It reminded him of when they were alone on the day "Ug" was born.That day, the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk like friends, without restraint. "You won't kill me?" Demi asked again in vain. Batu turned his head and waved his hand in pain: "Come here, take him out." "Wait! Tell me why." "I don't know..." Batu murmured. "I know!" A voice came into the tent, which was like a thunder on the ground. Batu, Dimi, and Meng Ge followed the prestige together. "Aunt Dumb?" "Grandma!" Dimi broke away from the soldier and threw herself into the arms of the dumb aunt. "Ama...Ama, is it really you? Am I dreaming?" "No, Bing Ji. No, my daughter. This is not a dream! I really didn't expect to see you again, so let Grandma take a good look at you!" Looking at the mother and daughter who were embracing and weeping, Batu and Mengge felt incredible and stood aside in astonishment. "Mom, why are you here?" "It was Lord Batu who saved me." "How is this possible!" "It's true, daughter. Lord Batu saved me and took me in. He is not your enemy. In the past few years, my only wish in life is to find you." "But, he is the murderer who killed Abba." "No! Your father was killed by Hutan." "Hutan?" "Yes, Grandma saw him kill your father with her own eyes. Unfortunately, at that time, Grandma couldn't save anything. In order not to be wiped out by Hutan, Grandma hid in Tibet and accidentally fell into a deep ditch. If If it wasn't for Lord Batu and his soldiers who saved me, I'm afraid Grandma is already dead by now." "But, he invaded our home, don't you really hate him, Mom?" "Daughter, we Merkis have been enemies with the Mongols for generations, and this ending is doomed." Meng Ge suddenly realized: "Are you Mrs. Nataja?" "Yes, I am Gadiyan's wife, and this child is me and his daughter, Bing Ji." At this time, Batu was no longer surprised: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "After Bing Ji's father died, all my thoughts were lost. If I didn't miss Bing Ji who was still in Kyiv, how could I struggle to survive? Whenever I think of the past, I don't want to say anything, I just want to wait silently News from my daughter." "Grandma!" "Son, my dear daughter. We are united at last, and we shall never be apart." "Yes. Mom, let's go together." "Have you figured out where to go?" Bing Ji hesitated to speak.Yes, where can they go? Batu stared fixedly at Di Mi, no, Bing Ji, he still remembered the scene many years ago, the child at that time had grown into such a beautiful woman, he had hoped that she would stay with her since he saw her. down.But, he didn't know, Bing Ji, the stubborn Bing Ji, would she stay? Meng Ge saw Batu's expression completely in his eyes, changed his mind for a while, walked off the desk, and winked at Mrs. Nataja. Mrs. Nataja understood: "Daughter, grandma is going to say goodbye to Irene. She is a very good child, and grandma can't leave without saying a word. You wait here for grandma to come back." "Please wait a moment, Mrs. Nataja, I have a few words I want to talk to you." Meng Ge said something casually, and walked out of the tent with Nataja. He waved his hand, and the guards quietly exited after him. Only Bing Ji and Batu were left in the big tent. Batu and Bing Ji's eyes intertwined, under his scorching gaze, a faint blush appeared on Bing Ji's face unconsciously. After hesitating for a long time, Batu finally confided the secret in his heart. "Bing Ji, when your name was Dimi, I felt like I had seen you somewhere... That year, in your father's big tent, you were probably only three years old, the first time I saw you I still remember your lovely appearance: black and blue eyes, curly chestnut hair, like an untouchable porcelain doll. In a blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed, and the porcelain doll has grown into a beautiful girl, and I, as if in a dream." The door of Bing Ji's memory was also opened, and she finally understood where the long-standing feeling of deja vu came from. "You, know that I'm a woman?" "A woman who puts a man to shame. I knew it from the beginning." "Can……" "I want to keep you, I just want to keep you by my side, I want to watch you, this is the feeling I have never had for anyone in the past." "I stayed here to kill you." "In the end you didn't. You knew I'd be safe in the snow." Bing Ji lowered her head and asked herself: Why on earth did she not want to kill him?Didn't she want to avenge her parents?Could it be... Could it be that she really had a different feeling in her heart long ago? At the banquet that day, as his bodyguard, she witnessed him being humiliated by his cousin and nephew. At that time, she really wanted to kill Guiyu and Buri with her own hands.She should have felt worthless for his repeated forbearance, but at that time she just felt heartache.Maybe it was from then on, maybe earlier, when she decided to stay and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him, she had actually realized that she was making a fatal mistake. Her feelings were tormented by the hatred for the perishing of the tribe and her admiration for him, which almost drove her crazy. End it all. He fell on the snow, very thick snow, this is what she can do for her parents and the tribe, and it is what he deserves.She didn't care if it was self-deception or not, anyway, when she avenged herself in this way, her inner peace and tranquility were restored for the first time. She waited, very persistent, but also very eager.She also wanted to see him one last time. She longed for him to give her an ending, but he was still very tolerant.His eyes told her clearly that he would never hurt her.And should she be tolerant? Ba Du held Bing Ji's hands, Bing Ji struggled a bit, but did not break free.Batu's thick palm is very warm, Bing Ji would rather be held by him like this forever. "you……" "Bing Ji, forget about hatred and stay here." "I……" "Promise me to be my wife." "No!" Bing Ji blushed suddenly. Batu couldn't help but hugged Bing Ji tightly in his arms, lowered his head, and imprinted a deep kiss on Bing Ji's moist lips.This is his rare display of passion.Love seems to freeze everything at this moment, and dissolve everything. Bing Ji was like a frightened fawn, with unbelievable tears streaming out of her eyes. "Promise me, will you?" "Okay!" As if without the permission of the will, the answer blurted out. Batu let go of Bing Ji slightly, and awkwardly wiped away her tears. "Are you crying?" "Yes. I thought I would never see you again." "Why do you think so?" "You said it yourself, you want me to go." "Little fool! Even if you leave, I will still find you back." "Really?" "I never lied to you. I won't really let you leave me. I have too much reluctance for you." "Since when did you know?" "When you were three years old." Bing Ji laughed through tears. "Come on, little fool, we're going to ask your mother's permission." "No need, Mrs. Nataja is about to bless you. Brother Batu, I have already proposed marriage to her on your behalf." At some point, Meng Ge appeared at the door of the tent and said with a smile. Batu looked at Bing Ji tenderly. "Even Changshengtian will bless you for such gods and relatives. Brother Batu, when we have pacified the whole territory of Oros, let's hold a grand wedding banquet according to our Mongolian customs. Just now I was talking to Na Mrs. Tajia discussed this matter. The blood of our Mongolians is half flowing on the body of Miss Bingji, and her bravery and tenacity are no different from our Mongolians. Moreover, she is so beautiful, she can be your wife. It's a match made in heaven. If you can trust me, let me arrange everything about the wedding." "Thank you, Mongo." A cheerful smile appeared on Meng Ge's face.This was the most enjoyable thing for him since the Western Expedition.He wanted to write a letter to tell his mother the good news immediately, and believed that his mother would also bless Batu. Mrs. Nataja walked into the big tent, and Bing Ji threw herself into her arms.The mother's tears fell on the daughter's hair, but this time, they were tears of happiness. With the surrender of the Uros principalities one after another, Poland and Hungary, which are located in Central Europe, bear the brunt of becoming the next military targets of the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army. After Gadiyan was murdered, Khutan seized the position of head of the Kipchak Department.He pretended to surrender to the Mongols, but secretly fled to Hungary with 40,000 troops.Bela IV of Hungary wanted to use this force to fight against the menacing Mongolian army, and readily agreed to accept the Kipchak people. He made an appointment with Khutan, and the Kipchak people converted to Christianity. Bela IV went to the frontier to meet Kipchak , generous gifts and hospitality.It is a pity that the bad habits of the Kipchak people are hard to change. When they entered the country, they plundered and raped, and committed all kinds of crimes, which aroused the hatred of the Hungarian people, which also caused dissatisfaction with Bela IV. The border of Hungary is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is extremely good.The capital is on the banks of the Danube River, which is divided into east and west parts. On the east side is Pest, where there is a palace, which is the residence of Bela IV; Not only that, Hungary is also closely related to Poland, and the two countries are married and have the same interests. On the night of Bingji and Batu's marriage, Zeng Qi asked Batu to send troops to Hungary to conquer Hutan and avenge his dead father Gadiyan, and Batu agreed without hesitation.But Batu made this decision not out of personal affection.In the process of conquering Uros, Batu had already deeply realized that if the hostile forces in central Europe were not broken, the Mongolian army's occupation of Uros would be like a thorn in his back, which would endanger his own safety at any time.It was precisely in order to obey the major strategic needs that Batu decided to take advantage of the victory and use troops in Central Europe to completely wipe out the threat. Batu, Meng Ge, Guiyu, Buri and others, as well as the veteran Subotai, studied the battle plan in detail.The incident at the banquet a year ago was still fresh in Batu's memory.Although Meng Ge spoke uprightly, he first forced Buri to admit his mistake, and then reported Guiyou's innocence to the Great Khan Okuotai, and Okuotai also sent an envoy to give a severe admonition to the eldest son, and ordered him to return to the army to publicly report to Baba. They all admit their mistakes.However, the superficial reconciliation breeds deeper resentment, and Batu knows very well that he must not rely on Guiyu and Buli who seem to be at odds with him. At the meeting, Batu decided that Mongke would lead an army into Poland first to collect intelligence, and when spring came, the troops would be divided into two groups to attack Poland and Hungary at the same time. Montgomery's intelligence was sent to the commander-in-chief one by one, describing in detail the terrain of Poland and the general situation of the army.When the winter snow melted, Batu immediately sent Baidar to attack Poland with 50,000 soldiers, and he and Subotai led 70,000 Mongolian troops to attack Hungary. Batu first sent envoys to persuade the Hungarian King Beela IV to surrender.Beel IV was unwilling to surrender, and ordered the army to guard the passes of the Carpathian Mountains to the death. Batu took Bie Erge as the vanguard, quickly broke through the pass, and drove straight in, like a broken bamboo. In the city of Buda, Beela IV was holding a military meeting. Hearing the news of the defeat, he hurriedly sent his generals back to the army, and the whole army gathered in the city of Pest.At the same time, he sent a letter to Hu Tan, the leader of the Kipchak, asking him to fight against the Mongols together.Afterwards, Bela IV sent his family members to the Austrian border, while he himself sat in the city of Pest on the opposite bank of Buda, preparing for a decisive battle with the Mongolian army after all the armies were assembled. Batu took the lead and attacked under the city of Pest. Seeing that the city defense was strong, he wanted to lure the enemy to attack.The Mongolian army continued to challenge Bela IV, but Bela IV just waited for reinforcements and avoided fighting. Most of the generals stationed in Pest City couldn't bear it anymore and asked to go out of the city to fight the Mongolian army. Archbishop Yuguolin also asked Beel IV to fight, but Bela IV ignored him.Yuguolin despised Beela IV's cowardice, and led a small number of troops out of the city to fight the Mongolian army without authorization.The Mongolian army pretended to be defeated and crossed a swamp. Yuguolin didn't know what to do, and took advantage of the situation to chase after him. As a result, the Hungarian soldiers, wearing heavy armor, fell into the mud and could not advance or retreat.At this time, the Mongolian army fired all arrows, and the Hungarian army was bleeding and drifting away. Yuguolin fled back to the city with only four people. Beila IV did not complain about Yuguolin's unauthorized actions, but Yuguolin deeply resented Bela IV for not giving reinforcements, which led to the defeat of the army, and returned to the mansion angrily. Soon, Hu Tan led the Chincha reinforcements to arrive.Yuguolin had always distrusted the Kipchak people, so he sent his servants to spread the word that there were many Kipchak people among the Mongols, and if Hutan was not killed, there might be internal changes.Don't let the fourth generation be soft-hearted, and really put Hutan into prison, and Hutan was tortured to death.As a result, Bela IV not only lost a fighting force familiar with the Mongolian army, but also added a lot of trouble.As soon as the news of Hutan's death came out, the Kipchak people fought in the city, and the Kipchak people fought back, looted wantonly and fled into Bulgaria. At the beginning of April, Bedar wiped out the Polish and German allied forces in the battle of Lignizhi on the Polish battlefield, which relieved Batu from his worries about attacking the city of Pest. At the same time, various Hungarian reinforcements gathered in the city of Pest, about 400,000 people.Beela IV was confident and sent his army to fight. This is the famous battle of Saiyu River in history. The enemy is numerous and we are few, and they will retreat without fighting. Choose a good terrain and camp on the east side of the Saiyu River first.On both sides of the Saiyu River, the east of the river is full of swamps, and the land is dangerous and easy to defend; the west of the river is open, and you can see everything from a high place on the opposite bank. Soon, Beera IV went to Hexi and set up camp.Beela IV and the generals inspected the battlefield and saw a stone bridge nearby. They were worried that the Mongolian army would cross the river here, so they sent 3,000 elite soldiers to defend it. The Hungarian army is camped in the Hexi Huanche, with shields hanging on it, just like a fortress.Batu didn't dare to act rashly, so he sent Meng Ge to lead a small group of troops to reconnaissance on the shore.Meng Ge also reported that although the formation of the camp on the other side was strict, the defense was very loose and impeccable. Batu's doubts disappeared, and he decided to attack by night.He sent Xiban to lead the army to seize the bridge, and Buri sneaked across the river from the lower reaches, turned around to the side of the Hungarian army and launched a surprise attack. Xiban set up seven trebuchets on the river bank and bombarded the defenders of the stone bridge, forcing the Hungarian army to retreat.Xiban quickly occupied the stone bridge, and Batu commanded the main cavalry to gallop across the bridge and attack the Hungarian army. At dawn the next day, Buli detoured to the scheduled location.Only three cannon shots were heard, and Batu and Buri attacked the Hungarian camp from the front and the rear at the same time.The whole battalion of the Hungarian army panicked. Yuguolin led his troops into battle and was defeated and returned. The rest of the generals went out to battle and returned wounded. The two armies fought until noon, when the Hungarian barracks turned into elbows and armpits, and a group of soldiers fled out of the camp.The Hungarian soldiers gathered and resisted to the death. The number increased, and Batu hurriedly ordered to open the siege and connive.Seeing that there was a way to escape, the generals of the Hungarian army ran for their lives, but because the checkout was too dense and the tent ropes obstructed them, many fell down one after another and became captives of the Mongolian army. When Bela IV heard that Archbishop Yuguolin was killed in battle, he was so frightened that he quickly changed into soldier clothes, mixed among the crowd, and rode alone from the gap in the Mongolian army's siege towards Austria.There, he reunited with his family and lived in seclusion on an island. The Mongolian soldiers took advantage of the situation to chase and flee the Hungarian army. The Hungarian army abandoned their armor and dragged their troops. They were extremely exhausted.In the battle of Saiyu River, the Mongolian army won a complete victory. When General Mangesa was cleaning the battlefield, he seized the jade seal of the Hungarian king and dedicated it to Batu.If you don't take it, please transfer it to Wokuotai Khan. In just nine months, Batu completed the conquest of Poland and Hungary, and was ready to continue to advance westward.The news spread to European countries, causing great panic and shock.Because the European countries were weak at that time, there was no army that could withstand the attack of the Mongolian army.The British Parliament of Parlmen made a resolution not to allow ships to go fishing in order to prevent the Mongolian army from taking advantage of it. Batu temporarily assembled the Western Expeditionary Army on the banks of the Saiyu River to rest.For Poland and Hungary that had been conquered, Batu designated the original royal family as king and continued to govern the country. In winter, Batu sent Subutai and Meng Ge to lead two armies across the Danube River and continued to sweep westward.Wherever he went, he was invincible. When all countries were in panic all day long, the bad news of Okuotai Khan's death spread to the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army, and Batu immediately ordered to return eastward.Ogedei Khan's death saved Europe. Batu sent Orduo, Xiban Suigui, Mengge and others back east to the Mongolian grassland to attend the funeral of Okuotai Khan.He then came to the beautiful city of Sarai on the banks of the Volga River, where he settled his capital and formally established the Golden Horde, which later ruled Europe for 262 years.
