In this history documentary we bring to life the True Size of the Mongol Army by leveraging the power of Unreal Engine 5. We cover the organization of the Mongol army as well as their war camps, march formations, and battle lines.
The episode begins with the organization of the Mongol Army starting from the level of the Mongol soldier. Generally speaking they came in two flavors, the Mongol horse archer and the Mongol horse lancer. These would be grouped into decimal units of increasing size: The Arban (10), the Jaghun (100), the Mingghan (1,000), the Tumen (10,000), and the Chun (30,000). Each of these brought with the additional animals, support staff, and supplies. We bring these all together in various stances from parade rest, to camp life, marching column, and battle order.
Here are the relevant time stamps:

As a Mongol I find it hard to believe a single unit (Arbun) would field only around 6 sheep. Herder families here for example keep hundreds of sheep at a time and some get rewards for keeping thousands usually without external help or a hired hand

These detailed documentaries of ancient nations army structures is invaluable and unmatched anywhere. Most appreciated by anyone studying military history as I have for a very long time.

Subutai was undoubtedly one of the greatest military commanders in history, he won more battles and conquered more land against a wider range of opponents than Alexander. Its crazy how he isn't given more attention.

Genghis Khan was basically the Thanos of Middle ages . If they show up , you know you are going to have a really bad day .

Now i understand why medieval sources always paint mongol armies as this massive wave of unending hordes. Even though they didnt have much men, the sheer number of animals made it appear like they were facing a much larger enemy. In fact, the mongols often played into the psychological warfare that by loading dummies onto extra horses, lighting more fires while camping and purposely kicking up more dust in the air to intimidate their foes so you can imagine how much more exaggerated their numbers are to the enemy.

The Mongols mastered "shock and awe" battle tactics, "feint retreat" and "pincher move" "psychological warfare" and many more battle tactics, but most importantly, they mastered "support and logistics" which always wins wars... They are truly a force to be reckon with... man I'm glad I wasn't born in those times...

Surprisingly efficient. The ratio of combatants to support staff is incredible.

Imagine being a soldier in 1240’s Hungary,knowing an invading army is approaching,you see the clouds of dust that the thousands of horses kick up and all of a sudden Wolf Totem by The Hu starts in slow but intensifies over time

With this video, it is now easier for me to understand the terrifying vision that seeing a Mongolian army approaching your territory could cause. At first glance it could not be surprising if it is compared in size to other armies, but the fact that they were all mounted on horses and that they brought with them a greater number of mounts, along with the rest that you mention, makes it understandable why they were seen as walking death for many contemporaries and with an impressive speed of mobility. With their tactics they could defeat several armies twice their size and with practically no casualties, a total killing machine.

One understand how efficient they are with their logistics, which meant they could support a massive army, while keeping morale up. If your soldiers get to have the comforts of home, wife and children while out on campaign, not only are you less likely to desert, but you also have a good reason to defend your tribal/military units. As your own children and wife would end up being captured should that collapse.
It is pure fucking genius.

An important thing to note is the speed of communication. A Mongol messenger could be sent out on a horse and wherever he went be given a fresh horse to continue at full speed to deliver a message. The Khan could know what happened on the other side of the Empire and make decisions extremely fast for that time period. Scouts could see an enemy army and inform commanders and a horde could be formed very rapidly where there wasn't one before.

Möngke Khan who ruled the intact Mongol empire at it's greatest extent had more than a third of all soldiers in the world at his command

This was absolutely incredible, it really makes you understand the mechanics of an army. Please do more of these, on different armies :)

As a Mongol, thank you for our history to be revealed in very accurate and visualized manner.

The Mongols had smaller, but more mobile forces. They were usually outmanned, but won with cunning, surprise and speed. They were the first Blitzkrieg. They stunned the bigger slower enemy with smoke and arrow traps. They were undefeated until their garrison forces lost to the Mamelukes.

Very informative. I can remember as a child I imagined the Mongols as mountain rangers just raiding like vikings. Today I found out they have a disciplined army 😮

This episode is just perfect. Concise, well presented, and really gives you an idea of what a Mongol army looked like. Excellent work, Invicta!

It is true that the killing power of the bow is around 50 meters. At 300meters most arrows will not cause serious harm to infantry with shields and only should be used for morale
