In this battle, the Mongol commanders Battu and Subutai successively used the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep and darken the chencang, and finally detoured back to the rear of the Hungarian army, annihilating 70,000 Hungarian troops in a three-way way, and King Bella IV escaped, so the Hungarian army was not only a thousand people.
The army attacked Hungary in three ways
In 1240 AD, the Mongol army of 150,000 troops, leaving 30,000 troops to defend the south of the town, the remaining 120,000 troops three roads, the north road 30,000 troops to attack foreign aid Poland, the south road led 30,000 people to detour forward, the middle road with Batu, Subutai led an army of 60,000 direct attacks on Hungary, until April 1241, the commander Batu, the vanguard Subutai and other two-way army met opposite the Hungarian city of Pest.
At that time, King Bella IV believed that there were facilities such as the Palace of Pest, and the wide Danube River was enough to resist the Mongols crossing the river, so he did not go out of the city to meet the enemy, but instead gathered his troops to resist the attack of the Mongol army in the city of Pest.
Subutai first lured the Hungarian army to the River Ninnin, Batu pretended to be defeated, Bella IV went out of the city to meet the battle, the Mongol army retreated all the way to the Sayo River, Bella IV pursued the Mongolian army, arrived at the west of the Sayo River, and let 1,000 soldiers guard the bridge to prevent the Mongol Iron Horse from raiding.
In mid-April of the same year, the Mongol general Batu led an army to seize the bridge and failed, of course, this was only a pretend attack, the real army from Subutai from the raft downstream of the river to sneak across, can be described as a dark ChenCang, and finally went around to the rear of the Hungarian army, Batu again in the front attack, seize the bridge, the next day, Batu and Subutai rendezvous, together to launch an attack, surround the Hungarian army.
After that, Batu deliberately released an escape route, and the Hungarian army fled to this road, and at this time, the Mongol army on both sides had already been ambushed, coupled with the rear road to catch up, the Hungarian army was finally annihilated by the Mongols in a strategic way of encircling three and one, and in just a few days, the Hungarian army finally gave birth to only 10,000 people and suffered heavy losses.
Although the Mongol army also suffered some losses, the battle was indeed a wonderful battle, and then the Mongol army burned the city of Pest, and the whole of Hungary and the Danube River were ruled by the Mongols, and the Hungarian soldiers were scattered and fled in all directions, it is said that only a few thousand people were found, and the whereabouts of the other soldiers are unknown.

In 1243, Batu established the Golden Horde on the basis of the original Jurchen Khanate, and much of the reason for Hungary's ultimate defeat in this war was the mobilization of Beira IV, who struck all his forces together and did not disperse.
Bella IV believed in himself too much, and he ordered reinforcements from all countries before the arrival of the Mongol army, believing that the Mongol army would not be so fast even if it was broken, and that the Hun army at that time was very imposing, believing that the Mongolian army was not their opponent at all, and that it was thickly armored, and first made the big mistake of light enemy.
After that, he was hit by the strategy of luring the enemy to go deeper, you must know that this is a big taboo, Zhao Kuo was hit by this plan and was pit and killed hundreds of thousands of people, the Hungarian army saw the Mongolian army fleeing, and committed the taboo of poor Komo chasing, plus the blitzkrieg of the Mongolian army, Bella IV, who thought he could defend the bridge, finally did not know that the enemy had already arrived at his rear, and there was no reason to be undefeated.
