 Battle of the Vorskla River:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The Battle of the Vorskla River was one of the greatest and bloodiest in the medieval history of Eastern Europe.
It was fought on August 12, 1399 between the Tatar hordes of Edigu and Temur Kutlugh and armies of Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania.
Although the Lithuanian army was well equipped with cannons, it could not resist a rear attack from Edigu's reserve units.

He then escaped to the Ukrainian steppes and asked for help from the Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania.
In the great Battle of the Vorskla River (1399) the combined forces of Tokhtamysh and Vytautas were annihilated by two of Tamerlane's generals, khan Temur Qutlugh and emir (murza, visir) Edigu.
The defeated Tokhtamysh was killed in Siberia by the Edigu's men in 1406 or 1407.

The insignificant khans who followed on Toktamish - we barely know their names - could not establish a central authority strong enough either to set a course of policy or to command an army capable of its execution.
Until his death in 1419, only Edigu represented a force to be reckoned with by the Russians, Lithuanians, or Poles; and his actions were mostly in response to events and reveal no central concept.
By that time Tatar units were quite often mere mercenary forces in the service of alien rulers who knew, or pretended to know, the aims they were pursuing.
