Mongol Strategy

The Mongol strategy was to use swift, highly mobile horsemen to outmaneuver enemies, often striking the most vulnerable parts of their territory with speed and precision. They combined flexible tactics, such as feigned retreats and coordinated attacks, to disorient opponents. Their strategy also emphasized psychological warfare—intimidating enemies through show of strength, surprise, and reputation. They prioritized intelligence and communication, often using messengers to relay rapid orders. This approach allowed them to conquer vast territories efficiently, maintaining flexible, adaptive tactics that leveraged their mobility, discipline, and strategic planning.
