Yuri’, after the Mongols sack his capital, flees across the Volga northward to Yaroslavl', where he hastily musters an army.
He and his brothers then turn back toward Vladimir in hopes of relieving the city before the Mongols take it, but they are too late.
Yuri sends out a force of three thousand men under Dorozh to scout out the Mongols’ position; whereupon Dorozh returns saying that Yuri and his force are already surrounded.
As he tries to muster his forces, he is attacked by the Mongol force under Burundai and flees, but is overtaken on the Sit River and dies there along with his nephew, Prince Vsevolod of Yaroslavl'.
The battle marks the end of unified resistance to the Mongols and inaugurates two centuries of the Mongol domination of modern day-Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.
