The Book Of The Mongol Art Of War
Timothy May cited in his book The Mongol Art of War the words of Jean de Joinville, a French architect from the 13th century. The latter wrote, “When the Mongols want to battle against the Saracens, they will send Christians against them, and in all the wars against Christians, they will use Saracens.” Just how Genghis Khan crippled his foes with his advantage of pre-existing bad blood.

For Genghis Khan and his horde movement was one of the main components of success. They could travel at tremendous speed across long distances with their tough horses. This allowed them to confound or surprise their opponents. It was stated that such fast military mobility was again observed until the introduction of motorized forces in the 20th century.
