The Mongols DESTROYED 100,000 European Knights in Just 3 Days
n 1241, a battle took place that should have been an easy victory for the most elite warriors in Christendom. On a field in Poland, the combined might of Polish knights, German nobles, and the famed Knights Templar gathered to crush a small Mongol raiding party. They were the pinnacle of European military power, clad in steel and driven by a thirst for glory. What they faced was a smaller, leather-clad army of horsemen from the East.
But this was no simple battle. It was a trap, engineered by the Mongol general Subutai, a master of strategy and psychological warfare. The Mongols used their signature tactic—the feigned retreat—to lure the proud, overconfident knights into a reckless charge, separating them from their infantry and support. What followed was not a battle, but a slaughter. Using smoke to create confusion, the Mongols surrounded the disorganized knights, shot their horses out from under them, and annihilated the dismounted, exhausted, and helpless warriors. The European army was wiped out, and the head of their commander, Duke Henry the Pious, was paraded on a spear.
The Battle of Legnica is a brutal lesson in history about the dangers of pride. It shows how discipline can overcome brute force, how strategy can defeat arrogance, and how an army united by a mission can destroy an army of individuals fighting for personal honor. This is the story of how 8,000 warriors taught the proudest men in the world that the strength you trust can become the very reason for your downfall. Europe was only saved from further conquest by the unexpected death of the Great Khan Ögedei, thousands of miles away. Join us as we explore the day pride led to a vision of hell on the fields of Legnica.
