Attacking while running away is, was, and will continue to be a top-tier strategy for the next 20 years. Terrifying that a timeless strategy will be nearly completely overtaken by drone production.
Run away then hammer back with kamikaze/anti-drone drones when they move to take the ceded area. Strategy still fine probably.
Just like meat waves still work (that’s why Russia makes any progress in Ukraine).
I heard that Mongolia’s rise just happened to occur when there was a couple centuries of better rain. It fits.
it really is incredible how much genghis was able to accomplish with just horses. it’s kind of surprising that nobody before him thought to weaponize horses in that way. people have always been trying to put deadlier weapons on top of horses, but genghis was the first to ask “what if the horse was the weapon?”
He was far from the first. He was just good at organizing his horse-riding peoples into a military force.
