Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-05

The Mongol cavalry, also known as the Mongol Iron Cavalry, was a well-trained, disciplined, tactically flexible, intelligent and formidable whirlwind force in the Middle Ages. Created in the 13th century by Genghis Khan and maintained by his successors as a cavalry unit, the Mongol cavalry, free from the constraints of traditional European military thought, established a magnificent empire - the Mongol Empire.

They are strong and able to adapt to the demands of battle; They can turn around and shoot at the enemy who follows them when they retreat quickly; Able to endure hardships and endure harsh climatic conditions, without coveting comfort, comfort and delicious food. It should not be overlooked that the strict discipline system developed in the course of training made everyone obey orders and be rigorous, which was unheard of in other armies in the Middle Ages.

To this day, we can still feel that the Mongols still have a profound influence on our military today, and the West is conducting extensive research on the tactics, tactics and military technology of the Mongolian army. Hugh Cole further wrote in his book: "Liddell Hart used the example of the Mongol army to persuade people to apply cavalry methods of warfare to tanks. And note that in an annual report, Chief of the General Staff MacArthur urged Congress to learn from the lessons of the Mongolian army and approve his proposal to request funding for the mechanization of the U.S. military. For the first time, the Mongol army unified the eastern and western ends of the Silk Road under a single regime, and the American historian Jack Field described it as the first time to achieve "globalization".
