"Man Gu Dao" is the favorite tactic used by Mongols, and it is also called "rest archery" by the ancient Romans. The core of this tactic is to pretend to escape and induce the enemy to pursue, and its essence is speed and suddenness.
The essence of this tactic lies in:
1, attack the enemy from a distance;
2. Keep attacking the enemy;
3. Don't give the enemy a chance to fight back.
Under this attack, it is only a matter of time before the enemy's spirit and armor are strong and completely collapse. In a word, Mongols had the most efficient war machine in the world at that time, which was based on four important foundations: strong mobility, superior weapons, complete tactical system and strategic genius of generals.
In the Battle of Saiyo River, 60,000 soldiers of the Mongolian army fought with Hungarian10,000 cavalry. The commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, Badou, and northern Jiangsu lured the enemy into depth, used "Mangu tactics" to lure the enemy to ride and chase, and then made a detour from the flank to annihilate more than 70,000 Hungarian troops, almost completely eliminating the resistance in Eastern Europe.
There is nothing profound about the "evil tactics of flooding the valley", but it can best test the discipline and obedience of an army and the commander's tactical command attainments. Without strict discipline, clear command and superb riding and shooting skills, it is impossible to play the essence of "Mangu witchcraft". After the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, the remnants of the Northern Yuan fled to the desert. Although "Mangu inferior tactics" have been handed down from generation to generation, without effective and superb command, the glory of the golden family has never reappeared.
