  1. Right? The marines have: - far greater range of fire - far greater rate of fire - far greater damage per fire As long as there are enough supply of ammo, those Mongols, no matter how fast their horses are, will be slaughtered outside the 300-400 meter from the marines. I mean, how many machine gun do they bring to the battle? Just ten of them placed strategically, will shred the charging horses to pieces. And don't tell us about armor. Pffft. Medieval armors can't withstand modern bullet. Hell, even the cuirass from the 18th century will be butter against modern bullet. They will have greater chance of survival by going naked, if only that will make their horses move faster.

  2. It come to the question of supplies. US Marines may not have the ammo supplies to obliterate 100 thousand strong angry mob, let alone fast moving Mongolian cavalry. But if the marines have enough supplies, no kind of medieval army can touch them. There is an anime ("Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri") that build the story on that. It's a total massacre on the part of medieval army.
