The battle of Samara Bend or the battle of Kernek was the first battle between Volga Bulgaria and the Mongols, probably the first major battle the Mongols lost. It took place in autumn 1223, at the southern border of Volga Bulgaria. The Bolghars allegedly retreated and the Mongols pursued them. Then the main Bolghar forces ambushed the Mongols. After Mongols were rounded up, the Bolghar massacred them and only 4,000 managed to escape.
