Historically, Mongolia has attacked Europe several times. Who commands the army?
Genghis Khan and his descendants, starting from A.D. 1205, successively destroyed Xixia and Jin Dynasties, and then conquered many countries in Central Asia, West Asia and West Asia, reaching the Danube River in Europe.

Genghis Khan's tactical thought is quite developed. When he fought Tatar and Jamukha for the first time, Genghis Khan developed many new tactics, reorganized his own army and created the famous decimal military system. After dealing with Naiman's troops who outnumbered him in the future, Genghis Khan successfully defeated the enemy with new tactics.

After Cheng Sikan unified Mobei, the next goal was the state of Jin. In the battle to recover Xixia, the Mongols learned bold and innovative siege techniques. The battle of attacking gold started in 12 1 14. By 12 14, the capital of Jin had been surrounded by troops, and its combat power was several times that of Mongolia. ...

In the next few years, Genghis Khan fought for his new empire. But this doesn't mean that the conqueror doesn't want to live a quiet life. In fact, Genghis Khan was very satisfied with the goods plundered by Xu Jinguo, which was almost enough for the people of the whole country for three generations (although Wokuotai soon spent all the luxuries after he ascended the throne).

However, the Sultan of Walamoz did not intend to make him comfortable. 12 17 At the end of the year, Genghis Khan sent people to Hualamozi, hoping to establish trade relations between the two countries, and then sent a caravan composed of Muslims and Hindus. As a result, before they reached their destination, they were stopped and robbed by a greedy governor, and all the people were killed. Genghis Khan sent envoys to punish the governor, but the envoys were beheaded by Sudan. The rest were disfigured and sent back. Genghis Khan was furious when he heard about it and led the army to attack. As a result, he set out at 12 19, and at the end of 1220, every success of Hualamozi was captured. In the next four years, Genghis Khan's iron hoof traveled all over the Islamic world, until the Caucasus Mountains and the Wowa River. Even Islam, which was extremely rich at that time. They are easily conquered. These 40 years can be said to be the darkest moment in Muslim history. Never before has such a large area of land been conquered by pagans. Even the Crusaders made great efforts to capture several coastal cities, which almost showed that the military strength of the Mongols far exceeded that of the Eurasian countries at that time.

After his death, his grandson continued to conquer the great cause. 122 1 year, Zhe Bie and Subtai arrived in the Georgian kingdom and conquered it, making it the first vassal state of Mongolia in Europe.

1223 In April, the Mongols reached the Nieber River along the Black Sea, where they defeated the Russian allied forces several times their own. It was also the first time that Mongols used the tactics of "cheating and losing" or "beating the dog rack" against European knights. This is the famous Battle of the Kerkha River. But this time, the Mongols didn't stay long. They immediately joined Genghis Khan's army.

1236, the Western Expedition Brigade consisting of 50,000 Mongolian troops and 65,438+10,000 allied troops was launched under the leadership of Subtai and Badou. By 1240, Kiev fell and most of Russia fell, causing fear and shock in the western world.

1241April 9, in Yulinitz, the Mongols defeated a Teutonic Order composed of Duke Henry from Germany, Poland and France, which was the first time that the Mongols defeated the religious order in a confrontational way in Europe.

A few days later, 50,000 troops led by Subutai were sent to the Hungarian plain, and the Hungarian king was also destroyed by La IV's army. After this series of battles, European knights lost nearly100000 people and never recovered.
