Maybe, maybe not. The Poles had them fucked twice only to spare them through acts of greed and over confidence. One time the Poles formed a defensive config that not only they couldn't break. It was costing them the lives of too many men trying to. And just as the Mongolian Generals were about to retreat, some over excited Poles broke rank and gave the Mongols the chance they needed. (Think The battle of Hastings.)
Another time the poles launched a suprise attack on the main Mongolian camp, killing thousands and causing the rest to flee.
Pity that only half of the Poles decided to pursue the fleeing Mongols. The other half stayed in the camp getting drunk and looting. Giving the mongols a chance to regroup and defeat them.
The Poles were a real thorn in the mongols side. How they would have faired further into Europe is anyone's guess.

If it weren't for the death of the Khan they would have likely reached the Atlantic
