Several important things are not mentioned: One, the Mongol army developed a highly sophisticated system of communication during the battle (by means of differently-colored flags), two, they were probably the first pre-modern army to introduce medical corps, logistics corps, and above all, astonishing military intelligence, both tactical and strategic, three, perhaps their most successful invention, the psy-ops, or war-time propaganda. It was them who invented the blitzkrieg - one of the ablest German commanders in WWII, Rommel, was a keen student of Mongol military history, which btw is still taught in all serious military academies. It is a historical irony that the word "horde" (usually in plural), meaning disorganized, wild, armed men in large numbers, derives from the Mongolian word "orte" which translates as "battle group" - the highest level of military organization (in their case, several tumens of 10,000 fighters each).

The Russian strategy employed during Napoleon's Russian campaign were called the "Scythian Strategy", which was described as pulling their army further and further into Russia, straining Napoleon's supply and communication lines. Though it didn't manifest itself on the battlefield through troop movements, it was used on a macro scale against the French army, until they (the French) received a decisive blow at the battle of Borodino, which put an end to Napoleon's success. Tolstoy mentions it in quite a bit of detail War and Peace.

The Mongols with brilliant leaders and generals and numerous tactics were truly great in combat. Their skills as archers, horsemen, survivors and warriors were also tremendous assets in their wars. One of the greatest lessons in history is the fact that by doing hundreds of little and big things extremely well the Mongols were well suited to survive the literal battle for survival they experienced as a competition of the fittest with numerous other people in their day. Truly a great lesson in history, battle, tactics, strategy and the nature of human beings.

9:20 - The enemy only had superior training because the Mongols weren't trained.... they were grown.

Mongolian archery has three type of shooting: Charge arrow, which only most elite can do, often power rivaled heavy crossbow, and historical text said 65 steps or 80 meters, requirement to be able to shoot somebody's eye at that range; side swinging or turning charging, looping and method to avoid contact with enemy, shoot only light arrow to deceive enemy, and can have range of 300 meters, but they will shoot light and thin arrows just to create the "raining" like effect to "fog" enemy eyes. Lesser elite troops will try charging arrow without accuracy when blend with the "fog", and glance on the side of the enemy formation. Mugudai or scythian back shooting, it is also a form of "fogging" enemy; sometimes there are riders fall off the horse deliberately, to set up trip lines with their wooden pole, when combined with scythian back shooting, distracts enemy from stopping the trip line setting comrades and buy them time to escape, while enemy have to circle around trip lines.

Steppe civs are usually mid-low tier but if someone feeds them and they snowball they are imbalanced because lack of civilizing elements actually let them adopt anything into their arsenal. Their base stats are ideal to take advantage of such situations. +5 archery +5 horseback riding +5 horse regeneration (small horses eat less and are hardy) +5 recovery without shelter -3 food requirements To top it off, hunting wild game on horseback +5 teamwork on horseback That is what the Mongols get for FREE. Every men can do this. Compare that to the super civilized Chinese. Try getting an average peasant to get the above skills.. it'd take 5-10 years of hardcore training, which is super expensive cause you gotta feed the guy as well, while the Mongol literally developed those skills to survive.. After that, their lack of civilization actually lets them adopt technologies from more technological advanced nations without prejudice. Once they gather enough they essentially can snowball everyone and conquer the world. The issue is of course they lack cultural identity, so usually they assimilate into the conquered people after a few generations after discovering that, hey, I'm the most powerful and this civilization shit is actually pretty nice with like, things.

Scythian shot. Unless my history is entirely flawed the Mongols had small contingents of heavy cavalry to use as shock troops, a holding force or a rally point for the archers to fall behind before repeating the tactics you represented well in this video. And they also had a minimal amount of foot soldiers. Alex the Great was one of the few who were able to out maneuver the horse archers which eventually led to the introduction of a heavy cavalry force to minimize that danger. Or I'm just wrong. This is not my major area of study.

Hi Kings and Generals, the first time the Mongol encounter war elephant was in Dai Viet (north Vietnam) in the Red River valley near Yunnan. On 17 January 1258 Subutai's son and grandson commanded three tumens, one was Mongolian, and two were Yi people , consisted 15,000 men faced the royal Vietnamese army of 20,000 and 100 elephants under king Tran Thai Tong (Tran Nhat Canh). The Mongol general Aju ordered to shoot in the elephants' feet with caused the animal stuck into panic and rampaged the Vietnamese force. The king escaped by boat, fled to a offshore island where he lived for 1 month. The Mongol captured Hanoi and found two imprisoned Mongol envoys, which one them died. The Mongol troops massacred Hanoi's inhabitants (30,000 people), burned the royal palace then sent letter noticed to the king that they have burned his palace. The Mongol then retreated to Kublai's base in Yunnan, and the Vietnamese king sent a submitting envoy to Kublai in March 1258. Source: Yuanshi

The Feigned Retreat and Parthian Tactics required cavalry for their high mobility. It is harder to implement as infantry if the other side has cavalry and cavalry archers. I must say, Mongols from cavalry to archery to siege is a force that's difficult to outplay, unless the commander and ruler is weak and tactless.

@@alessandrogini5283 hard to do so. horse archer as a profession need a lot of training, the roman tried but can't produced a natural horse archer like steppe people, it essentially is 2 job in 1, an archer and a horseman and both require training and further to do both at the same time, which was not as accessible as our modern time since peasant have to work and professional are expensive to maintain and horse archer take double effort in both maintenance and training, so the roman usually hired them as mercenary instead. In steppe culture, non-noble family's child learn to ride as early as possible as well as shooting so they could guard the heard against wild animal, they have no soldier(back then Mongol don't even have a word for it i think), everyone can be in the army because the way they fight is simply their way of life, they just need training on tactic which they usually do in hunting. Unless its khan's guard or them heavy calvary, you could say that its an army of peasant on horse(hence they get destroy by professional heavy calvary of sedentary people when the latter who have malee combat training and equipment for it could catch up to them)

Thank you , K&G .

A video like this only bring up more questions than answers. Example: on a long campaign the arrows would have to be supplied on an industrial scale, how did they manage a supply chain when miles from home base ?

The Seljuk Turks had their hay-day just before the Mongols, and they came from the same area, so it makes sense that there would be some mixing there :)

Military historian attribute mongol success was her mobility.and adaption now we consider as strategic deep operation.

6:24 the 'Gatling Gun of the steppes before gunpowder' It is *intimidating* to think that they realistically can make a division of enemy look like dead porcupines in a matter of minutes. Auch

Amazing, Mamluke Cavalry and furusiyyah next.

Very nicely drawn / animated! I know horses are meant to be one of the hardest things you can draw to make them look realistic.

Can we just appreciate the background music for a moment

The light arrow comment is inaccurate. Hit power is a feature of momentum and p=mv. The string snaps back with a set amount of momentum. That set amount of momentum is imparted to the arrow. If the arrow is heavier, more of that momentum comes from its weight while if the arrow is lighter more of its momentum comes from its speed. Yes air resistance will effect the lighter arrow but we are talking about arrows.

Very Good info thx

Thanks you for this. A couple of questions though. How did the Mongols craft their arrows? What kind of tips did they use? Did they recuperate arrows from bodies, or other? How much power does riding a horse add to a shot? Did they eat horse meat?

At 3:39: That's an amazing bowstring if it could already be set in place before the arrow could be nocked to it. Are you sure that he isn't aiming a crossbow sideways?

Mongol Army: ''Superior Numbers kid overwhelm their defenses and kill their queen!'' *Mongols: Allow me to introduce bioweaponry and *starvation*

The wierdest advertisment yet, especially when considering that the methods of war discussed in this video are on the most common sensical two tactical advantages one can get - Mobility & Range.

I found it interesting as well as educational! 🎭⭐🌹👍

rus @Вхламинго Let's see the effects: Mongols destroyed the ascendancy of Arabic Islam; they retarded the development of Russian culture for centuries and still has after effects today but otherwise their empire quickly dissolved. Now look at the effect of the Huns: they pushed the Germanic tribes into the Roman empire causing the fall of the Western half and thereby creating the proto-European countries that we have today.

The Vikings founded many Russian cities and gave their name to Russia (Rus). The Vikings had invaded many European countries and those countries survived and thrived. In fact, England owed her naval prowess to the Vikings sea skills. What the Mongols gave Russia were slavery, serfdom and backwardness, the result of which led to communism. So indirectly, the Mongols were the cause of communism taking hold of Russia.
