"They certainly took the first excuse they could, to retreat back to the steppes. If they were confident of victory, they never would have left." Reminds me of Indians claiming that Alexander was beaten by them. Nonsense since he quickly defeated the Persians the Indians couldn't shake off of their westernmost lands. Here the context is that his men had already accomplished their mission, so fighting non-Persians was pointless and only for his vanity. This is a good reason for going back to their homes for loved ones. Did the Mongols have a good reason? It seems true that the Mongols left for no good reason. Could have just sent a small group to do diplomacy, but then again, Mongols didn't trust other Mongols with the succession. A small group of representatives could be held hostage, and a prince of the Khan would want all of his men with him, since Mongols aren't known for bravery (Alexander always led his men; Genghis did not. Mongols liked to do hit and run, not stay and fight).

Alexander at a river. Well, they mirror my moves, so I will desensitize them to my army's movements, lulling them until the surprise attack. Mongols at a river. Water go BRRRRR!

@bakters You're all Mary-worshipping heretics or Protestant heretics who branched out of Mary-worshipping heretics. Jesus said most people go to hell. This means no nation can be Christian.
