Mongol Army: How it All Started

The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Mongol History continues with a video on the evolution of the Mongol armies, showing how the steppe horsemen bands turned into the most fearsome army in the world by Genghis khan and would create the largest empire until up to that point.

    Also don't forget bacteriological weapon "Bubonica" which was intentionally carried by Golden Horde to Europe before rats. Before Bubonica, Mongols used to catapult marmots over the Great Wall. Mongols also employed psychological warfare. On rare occasion, Mongols made use of their shamans to perform paranormal attack but this was probably not so effective.

    As a experienced horse rider I was quite surprised that stirrups took so long to develop. They are definitely a great advantage, and it's extremely dangerous to sit on a galloping horse without them. Especially while handling heavy equipment like lances. That makes the effectiveness of early cavalry like the Macedonian companion cavalry even more impressive. I really don't know how they could stay on their horses after even the slightest impact with their lances without stirrups

    Watery boy. Its an old archetype of super trained and resist to everything nomadic horse archers, who use an ultimate weapon. The truth: arrows from horse archers bows could not penetrate european chainmail. And nomadic people werent endure everything type men at all. Their bones tell a tale of hardships whose shortened their lives, make them ill. The reasosns of their winning wasnt their endurance, it was their ability to incorporate foreigners, so they could develop themselves and getting ready to wage war. Also the different type of warfare. Nomadic armies often were able avoid battles what they could not win, they just needed a good leader. Sedantary armies often were a situation, where they had to make their stand even if the odds were against them. But when sedantary countries started to build castles (not towns, cities!) the table turned. Now they could wait till they gather enough forces, and the nomadic armies wanted to go battles even against the odds....

    Anyone realized Genghis Khan and his Nomadic tatars getting very popular recently.

They literally was the catalyst that caused the world to change from bickering wars to rennaissence to Age of Discovery & our eventual modern world.
