The best Mongol generals, including Subutai, had the ability to break a large army up into highly mobile units that could act independently and coordinate an offensive over large distances. This had never happened before in the history of warfare, and it would not be successfully replicated until over 500 years later with Napoleon's corps system. The Mongols were truly ahead of their time.

Douglas MacArthur wrote the following of Genghis Khan “ “He crossed great rivers and mountain ranges, he reduced walled cities in his path and swept onward to destroy nations and pulverize whole civilizations. On the battlefield his troops maneuvered so swiftly and skillfully and struck with such devastating speed that times without number they defeated armies overwhelmingly superior to themselves.”

Characteristics of Mongolian Horses
1. Hardiness
Mongolian horses, having evolved in the harsh Mongolian environment, can eat a variety of forage, including hay, grass, leaves, and even bark.
They can survive for days without water and have an excellent ability to find water on their own.
Mongolian horses have an endurance two times greater than European horses and can endure rugged terrain.
2. Mobility
With exceptional stamina and speed, Mongolian horses enable rapid and efficient maneuvering.
Mongol cavalry utilized this mobility to surprise and encircle enemies.
3. Adaptability
Mongolian horses are capable of withstanding extreme cold and heat and can adapt to diverse environments.
This adaptability greatly contributed to the Mongol Empire's conquest of vast territories.
4. Composure
Mongolian horses maintain their composure even in battle and follow the commands of their riders well.
Mongol cavalry leveraged this calmness to successfully execute tactics such as night raids and ambushes.

The Mongols reached the Adriatic shores during the Campaigns of Batu Khan and Duke Qadan and during their campaigns, They ravaged Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Hungary, defeating the Kings Stefan I and Bela IV. As they blitzed and swarmed into Poland, they crushed the Polish King Konrad I and Austrian King Wenceslauz I crushing the coalition forces made up of German Teutonic and Norman knights, the Crusader Franco-Latin Empire and almost sacked Constantinople and even had plans to extend and reach Westwards to Scandinavia, Southwards to Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula but was thwarted just because Emperor Oghedei died of brain hemorrhage and cardiac arrest.

The guy with the beard is really not a Mongol. :) an Eagle hunt has never been a Mongolian tradition. Mongols adored birds and thought they were from the heavens, so never dared to domesticate them. Khazakhs did. The guy in the beard looks Turkic, and the eagle hunt is the khazakh tradition. Lately, the turks and Khazakhs are really trying to connect the history with the Mongols. Probably we were interconnected, but I don’t like the fact that they are trying to twist the history.

The Mongols were able to neglect the laws of military logistics. No other army on that planet can cover these distances, even today. Try to send 100.000 troops and additional 600.000 horses to places that are some thousand miles away. Every logistic expert will refuse that task.
