Question

HELP ME ASAP! What techniques did Genghis Khan use in battle?

Answer 1

He made the majority of his army up of skilled horsemen that made quick, nimble manuevers possible. He had many intricate spy networks that spent months scouring enemy defenses as well as coordinated attacks that included ambush, hit-and-run, and wave attacks. One of the most successful strategies was the feigned retreat, where ihis troops would fake defeat and run, only to turn on pursuing enemies.Genghis Knan also used rapid communication that included swift riders and a system of relay stations. Since traditional Mongol weapons and tactics were ineffective when attacking walled cities, the army adotped large siege weapons from the Chinese, Persians, and Arabs, and developed new strategies. These included catapulting large stones, diseased animals, and flaming naptha bombs over the walls, isolating the city and starving the enemy into defeat, damming, or rerouting a stream to flood the town, and lighting extra campfires and placing straw solders on spare horses to make the Mongol army appear larger than it was.
