After the death of Genghis Khan the Mongol empire was divided into four sub-khanates, after the invasion of Europe four other Khanates also established within the empire; the White Horde commanded by Orda Khan, the Blue Horde commanded by Batu Khan, Sibirean Khanate commanded by Shayban and a Khanate on the upper reaches of the Volga river centered around Volga Bulgaria commanded by Toga-Timur (which later became known as the Qasim Khanate). All these were brothers of each other and Orda Khan was the oldest, Orda was known to have participated in the massive Mongol invasion of Rus in 1237-1242. His younger brother Batu Khan claimed anarchy over the Khanates, while Orda remained in the background. Orda’s deployment of 20,000 mounted archers demonstrated speed & tactical superiority versus the slower more heavily armored European armies, series of deceptive Mongolian attacks separated the Polish formation making them vulnerable for salvoes of Mongolian arrows. A smoke screen was used to conceal the Mangudai’s withdrawal, thereby misleading Henry’s military forces. After the European knights pursued the fleeing Mangudai, the Mongols were able to separate the knights from the infantry and defeated them one by one. Henry II the Pious was intercepted while trying to escape the battlefield, his head was paraded on a spear while marching through the town of Legnica. Wenceslaus I withdrew from battle to gather reinforcements from Thuringia and Saxony, but was eventually hunted down by the Mangudai at Klodzko. Orda was one of the Mongol army commanders together with Subutai, Güyük and Möngke, in 1241 he alongside with Chagatai's sons Baidar and Kadan led the Mongol diversionary force in Poland. Orda Khan assaulted the southwestern border of Lithuania and the Polish Baltic coast, the three leaders then attacked the Silesian capital Breslau. Baidar lay siege on the town but eventually trod Northwards with Orda and Kadan towards Liegnitz where they defeated the armies of Henry II the Pious. Orda joined forces with Kadan and Baidar at Liegnitz, fighting in the Battle of Legnica and after that passing through Bohemia joining with the main Mongolian army in Hungary. Orda Khan died in 1280 before he could consolidate his ülüs, Köchü Khan extended the line of successors for the White Horde after Orda Khan's death.
