Northern column of the Mongol forces was supported by a large contingent of the Mongol vassals, Ruthenians, under Duke Mstislav of Lutsk, Duke Volodymir of Volhynia, and Duke Lev of Halicz. Altogether, the invading forces numbered some 30,000 warriors, with 20,000 attacking the north and 10,000 targeting the south. Leszek II the Black stood opposed to the Mongols with probably 15,000 strong. Furthermore, in comparison to the second invasion, several towns and cities had been fortified.

abstract
  • Northern column of the Mongol forces was supported by a large contingent of the Mongol vassals, Ruthenians, under Duke Mstislav of Lutsk, Duke Volodymir of Volhynia, and Duke Lev of Halicz. Altogether, the invading forces numbered some 30,000 warriors, with 20,000 attacking the north and 10,000 targeting the south. Leszek II the Black stood opposed to the Mongols with probably 15,000 strong. Furthermore, in comparison to the second invasion, several towns and cities had been fortified. On December 7, 1287, the northern group of Mongol forces under Talabuga left a camp near Wlodzimierz Wolynski, and, after by-passing Lublin, the army tried to cross the Vistula near Zawichost. Since the river was not frozen, they had to find a ford, heading southwards. The invaders decided not to capture Sandomierz, leaving Ruthenian units in the area of the city. Mongol forces were ill-prepared and failed to capture any fortified locations. Most likely, they attempted to approach the Lysa Gora Abbey, but some time in late 1287, were defeated in the Battle of Lagow. After reaching the area of Kielce, the Mongol began the retreat, and in January 1288, they reached their winter camp in Lwow. The southern group of Mongol forces, under Nogai Khan, on December 24, 1287 besieged Krakow. Since the city had been well prepared for the attack, Nogai Khan decided to change plans, and to plunder the areas both north and south of Krakow. Mongol units besieged Stary Sacz, but again failed to capture the fortress. After several skirmishes with both Poles and their Hungarian allies, they decided to leave Lesser Poland in late January 1288. Compared to the first two invasion, the raid of 1287/88 was short and much less devastating. The Mongols did not capture any significant cities and castles, taking fewer prisoners than in the previous invasions.
