Compared with Asia, Europe at that time was very backward. The overall strength is not at all in a grade: the Mongols emphasize mobility, the Mongol horses are hard-working and are very suitable for long-distance raids; the tactics of the Orientals are much more complex than those of the Europeans, and the European terrain is relatively flat, suitable for cavalry combat. The Mongols used bows and arrows in large numbers, the Europeans used warhorses to charge, the Mongols did not compete with European knights with mobility and range, the knights were mostly killed, and the European army after losing the knights was not a rival to the Mongols at all.
Don't look at the Mongols' bows are short, not as long as European longbows, but the rate of fire is fast, the range is long, easy for cavalry to use flexibly, and it is the most lethal combination bow in the thirteenth century. Herding horses and feeding sheep, practicing riding and shooting, fighting with foreign tribes, and the Mongols living in the grass, daily life is these three major things. The Mongol warriors were ruthless and their best friend was their horses. Europeans record that Tatars often rode horses without saddles. Their horses were small and sturdy, used to travel long distances, and were good at starving. Mongol warriors endured hardships and endured a simple but nutritious diet.
Due to the influence of cultural background, the Shangwu spirit was the most important cultural foundation of the Mongols at that time, and it was from the Shangwu spirit that they extended the idea of opening up territory and even conquering the world, and it was such a thought that allowed the Mongols to find a spiritual sustenance in the shadow of the sword and light. At that time, Europeans were in the Middle Ages, and at this time their cultural foundation was Christianity, and it was the teachings of Christianity that made them learn to accept and learn to endure. The second is the survival background, the Mongols have received strict military training on the steppe since they were born, of course, the reason why they chose this is because of natural environmental factors, the Mongolian living environment is very bad, if you want to survive, you must first defeat the forces of nature, and then you must defeat the enemy.
The Europeans later learned that they could not win a battle with the Mongols in a line outside the city, so they began to stick to the city. Build the city so tall and big that you Mongol cavalry can't fly up. At this time, the Mongols learned the wisdom of the East, learned the stone thrower and the return cannon used by the Han people, which were often put on tv, and put gunpowder on the stone thrower, a lever, directly shot into the city, directly exploded the flowers. At that time, the Mongol army captured many Skilled Craftsmen of the Han People from the Jin Dynasty, and there was a lot of such professional equipment. As in the current war, before the start of the war, the aircraft cannons first came to a round of carpet bombardment, and when you were blinded, the enemy charged and you were finished.
If you are facing a fortification of castles, passes and the like, at this time it is the turn of the Mongols' great killing weapon - "Back Cannon", which is the original stone thrower of the Arabs, which is fully exerted in the hands of the Mongols. After encircling the tall and sturdy castle of the Europeans, huge boomerangs took turns to shoot stones into the city, smashing the walls, houses, and defenses. The leaders of Europe at that time were popes and secular kings. They themselves have contradictions, no unified will, that is, no one can unify Europe. Europe is effectively leaderless. In such a situation, how can the Mongol army be defeated?
