Genghis Khan did not attack India, which is true, and the Indians are glad for it. Genghis Khan, as long as this name is mentioned, people's first reaction is that he is very capable of fighting, he fought all over the Eurasian continent, but in India, the South Asian continent, Genghis Khan and his descendants did not fight.

At that time, although no one could defeat Genghis Khan, it took time to conquer the world, and when Genghis Khan died, he had not been able to destroy the Dajin Kingdom, and it took his son Ogedei seven years to destroy the Jin Kingdom. Then it took 45 years for the Mongol army Möngke Khan Kublai Khan to destroy the Song Dynasty, at this time the Mongol Empire had been divided into four khanates, separated from the rule of the Mongol Empire, and the Mongol Empire was renamed the Yuan Empire. In a sense, the Great Song Dynasty acted as a shield for India. This is the main reason why India and the countries of Western Europe have been spared.

The Mongol army's field combat capability is invincible in the world, the average marching speed of the Mongols is as high as 80 kilometers per day, which is the highest in history, even the marching speed of Hitler's German lightning army is only 65 kilometers per day, and the marching speed of the Mongols was only broken by the US army during the Iraq War in 2003, when the daily advance speed of the US army was 95 kilometers per day. The Mongols relied on this speed of march to gain an advantage in their westward conquests of Central Asia, the Middle East, and even Europe. However, this field ability was weakened after entering the Great Wall, and due to the large number of cities in the Central Plains, it was difficult to make a major breakthrough with the siege technology at that time. It took the Mongol army 7 years to conquer from the Middle East to the Middle East and even Western Europe, but it took 12 years to conquer the Jin State.

After entering the south of the Yangtze River, due to the lack of naval troops, the Mongolian army sighed at the water on the Yangtze River moat. The attack on Xiangyang did not take it for 45 years, and finally through the army to Sichuan to break through the Sword Pavilion, and then from Sichuan to Bashu to conquer Xiangyang.

In fact, Genghis Khan always wanted to conquer India, and he also tried to enter India to attack, but they were stopped by the Indus River. They came across a monster called Luduan. This monster is terrifying-looking, and it roars. It sounds a bit unbelievable, there are no monsters in the world. But for the Mongols at that time, everything outside was novel, living in the steppe all year round, and naturally did not understand other animals. And the environment here in India is completely different from the grassland, so it is understandable that there are some special animals. Whether it was a monster or not, but it succeeded in scaring the Mongols, and the cry of the monster was understood by them as a means of persuading the lord to return early, and they understood themselves that this was a reminder from the gods not to attack India, and Genghis Khan would rather believe it, so he withdrew his troops.

Everyone knows how powerful the Mongolian cavalry is, they grew up on horseback, and they are not a problem for riding and shooting. Such an army is naturally invincible on land, but in India, which is full of rivers, it is simply impossible to move an inch. No matter how good a war horse is, it can't run in the river. Although Genghis Khan also established a naval army for this purpose, its combat capability was far inferior to that of India, so it did not have any advantage in the army.

In addition to the inability of cavalry to fight on rivers, the Mongols also had a weakness, that is, the soldiers were not adapted. People who live in the steppes all year round are generally hardy and dry, while the climate of India is characterized by hot and humid conditions, which is completely opposite to the living climate of the Mongols. In fact, the Mongolian soldiers had a deep understanding of the Indus River, and the soldiers went down to drink water, but the temperature of the river was high, and the Mongolian soldiers could not drink it at all. It is even more difficult to march and fight here, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be significantly reduced, and no matter how brave they are, there is no way to do it.

Genghis Khan's ambition for unification has always been there, and India has become a fish that has slipped through the net for various reasons. In addition to the inadaptability of the environment and climate, war elephants are also an insurmountable obstacle, so it is not that Genghis Khan does not want to kill India, but that there is no way to do it. Genghis Khan's exploits are already very good, and India is not inferior to this country, and India is not a threat to Mongolia, so let's keep it.
