It doesn't look like the knights are having a good day.
It was a pretty one-sided battle. It was the first time the Euros had come across the Mongols, and they didn’t realize quite what kind of enemy they were dealing with.
The whole army was destroyed.
@PugJesus There is a lesson to be learned there.
