Europe and asia

that's completely bullsh*t. first, Mongols and subsequent Ottomans defeated your disciplined Europeans several times, teh European style of warfare was simply inferior. second, Mongols had the best siege record in history by far, even bevor adopting siege engines, due to tricks and innovativeness (just look at the sieges of the Xi Xia capital or the Jin capital. second, europe had many fortresses maybe, but not a single one that the Mongols couldn't crack with ease, in fact Europe had the least sophisticated fortification methods of the time. third, at the time of the Mongol invasion of Bat�, central europe was at conflict with itself, there was no one that could have stood up agaisnt the Mongols anyways. where should all those knights and infantrymen you talked about come from? and except for the first crusade no European crusader army was able to defeat a Steppe army. and at the first crusade there were simply too mayn people to be killed, that's why they succeeded, not due to some fancy non-existing tactic. therefore we can exclude any thread from Crusades...

Song Empire don't had cavalry, the mongol fighted horrible battles with chinese yes but, repeat, Song don't had important cavalry and their wonderful empire were defeated. Jin had cavalry and the mongols suffered thirty years of war; the Jin empire had a population of 10 millions of persons, the North of China was very poor.

Europe had 75 millions of persons, a inmense number of fortress, a military tradition of cavalry (heavy and light) and infantry (spears, archers, crossbow, swordsmen...) Europeans won to steppe warriors (turks, magyars, avars...) because these peoples can't assault their cities, and then the europeans knew the way of defeat to nomads; or broke european formations (example Dorilea, First Crusade). In Europe, Mongols could't found allies with infantry and siege weapons, because europeans was christians and i doubt that anybody help to pagans... We must remember that XIII century was a religious time; so europeans could send very powerful Crusades against mongols. We must count with the ideology.

The situation: A mongol army in German forests, without food because it is into the casttle, without infantry or siege weapons, and the europeans attacking to mongols: first, french chevaliers and german cavalry (with infantry of course), then english bowmen and their cavalry, italian urban infatrymen with spears and crossbow, spanish with cavalry and light infantry... two posibilites: return to steppe or die.

Many people say "they was indisciplined", that is a myth, when europeans was well commanded (First Crusade, Third Crusade, Navas de Tolosa...) they was excellent warriors. I think that, yes, europeans couldn't conquer the steppe or Far East, but the mongols couldn't conquer Europe.

PD. We can exclude to indians, they was not rivals for muslim cavalry...

I agree with demon.

The article is about how the Chinese completely annihilates Alexander's army. Fin.

I would really love to sing the Qin military song:

We have no clothes, thus we share our robes. Our king raises the army, and fixes my spear, and thus our hate is singular.

We have clothes, thus we share our shirts. Our king raises the army, and fixes my halberd, and thus our actions are singular.

We have no clothes, thus we share our capes. Our king raises the army, and fixes my armor and weapons, and marches with us.

We have no clothes, yet we are close and love each other. Our king raises the army and fixes my bow and crossbow, and our goals are singular.

My chariot charges forth, my horses charges with me, the 4 great steeds charges east.

The 4 steeds charges forth, the 2 wheels charge straight, the gait is not lost, the released arrows pierces true.

The horses neigh, the banners flutter, the horses fear naught, the greed is unsatisfied.

To campaign for the king, we are heard yet we speak not, so that our men will do their great deeds.
(forgive me again for the very very bad translation)

You mean, "simplified".  And like 85% of your article is composed of simplified version.
