1, with different tactics, Europe is mainly an infantry phalanx, while Mongols are mainly cavalry. Infantry is not flexible, cavalry is flexible, fast and slow, and the effect is self-evident. Spears and big shields can restrain cavalry, but it must be said that no Mongolian cavalry is stupid enough to ride a horse and directly hit the big shield and spear (the collision scene between cavalry and infantry in the movie is intended to enhance the visual effect and form an impact to make the film sell well). The real scene is like this: Mongols ride horses and shoot with bows and arrows when they are far away. When you throw a spear, people run, and what's more rogue is running (when being chased). I have no direct contact with you at all. Europeans can't fight with bows and arrows, but Mongols shoot arrows to kill the enemy in the distance. When pursued, they shot arrows and consumed the enemy. This kind of play can drag the Europeans to death, not to mention the tactics of being buried directly when the enemy is in deep pursuit, and it can flexibly disperse the enemy formation. Otherwise, the short Mongols can't have a serious head-on collision with the strong Europeans.

2. Mongolians grew up on horseback and are good at riding and shooting. Horses are not so much their means of transportation as part of their bodies (lengthened feet), which is determined by the characteristics of nomadic people.

Mongolian occupation policy, if you don't surrender to me, I will kill the city. In short, the occupied areas are rarely spared, and there is no problem of prisoners occupying too much food, and there is no collective resistance of local people (where can I find so many people when the city is slaughtered? ), this horrible game, or state terrorism, makes Europeans very uncomfortable and afraid, and feels that the killing and destruction of Mongols are called "the whip of God".

Refer to those things in the Ming Dynasty:

When you meet Mongolian cavalry, your nightmare begins. Shoot an arrow before the attack, shoot an arrow during the attack, and even shoot an arrow when he runs away. If you can't catch up, you can't fight. This kind of hooliganism can drive people crazy!

This is why when the Mongolian army attacked Eastern Europe, those Europeans who were far stronger than them were beaten out of the water.

Basically, they were not killed by swords, but by arrows.

There is another feature of Mongols that everyone is familiar with, and that is the massacre.

From East Asia to West Asia to Europe, Mongolians have been doing this all the time. Their slaughterhouse is very distinctive and worth mentioning.

Judging from various materials (scattered history of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty), the massacre of Mongols was not caused by indulging in military discipline, but was obviously political (pay attention to this feature).

Slaughtering the city is to make the opponent yield.

They usually say hello before the siege. If you surrender, you will not kill the city. Think about the consequences of not surrendering.

But their immorality lies in killing the city if they don't surrender, but they don't let go of those who surrender. Why?

This is to ensure the needs of the rear. They think it's not safe for someone to stay behind, and they have to be killed to feel at ease (Gai Mongolian soldiers don't want residents in the rear, so they have worries).

Mongolian mania swept the world, but Europeans seemed to be more self-disciplined. They think that these horrible guys come out for no reason because they have made too many mistakes, and God uses whips to teach themselves, so they call Mongols "God's whips".

This honorary title is awarded for the second time in European history, and for the first time to Attila, the Xiongnu emperor.
