Mongol Warfare

Mongol warfare, particularly during the 13th century under Genghis Khan, was characterized by highly mobile cavalry units skilled in archery. Their tactics included rapid encirclement, feigned retreats to lure enemies, and psychological warfare to intimidate foes. The Mongols effectively utilized coordination and intelligence, often employing scouts to gather information. Their strategy emphasized speed and adaptability, allowing them to conquer vast territories across Asia and Europe. They also integrated conquered peoples into their military, enhancing their strength and versatility. This combination of mobility, strategy, and psychological tactics made them one of history’s most effective military forces.
