Fall of the Golden Horde Part I

While the armies of the Jalayirid and Mamluk sultanates were turned to ash on the field of battle. The Golden Horde had advanced upon the city of Nicea like a swarm of ravenous locusts. Palladius and his Army were stationed within the city and fought bravely to defend its inhabitants from the wrath of the Mongols. 

However, in the end, the enemy army was too vast, and too well armed for what remained of the Byzantine Army to properly defend against. After several days of brutal fighting, the aging Strategos of the Balkans were forced to order a full retreat. 

Had the Golden Horde chosen to pursue the fleeing defenders, it would have surely resulted in a massacre, but instead, as Palladius had expected, they were more interested in looting the city. Which bought the last vestige of the Byzantine Army enough time to escape back to their capital.
