  • "When they come to an engagement with the enemy, they will gain the victory in this fashion. They never let themselves get into a regular medley, but keep perpetually riding round and shooting into the enemy. And as they do not count it any shame to run away in battle, they will sometimes pretend to do so, and in running away they turn in the saddle and shoot hard and strong at the foe, and in this way make great havoc. Their horses are trained so perfectly that they will double hither and thither, just like a dog, in a way that is quite astonishing. Thus they fight to as good purpose in running away as if they stood and faced the enemy because of the vast volleys of arrows that they shoot in this way, turning round upon their pursuers, who are fancying that they have won the battle. But when the Mongols see that they have killed and wounded a good many horses and men, they wheel round bodily and return to the charge in perfect order and with loud cries, and in a very short time the enemy are routed. In truth they are stout and valiant soldiers, and inured to war. And you perceive that it is just when the enemy sees them run, and imagines that he has gained the battle, that he has in reality lost it, for the Mongols wheel round in a moment when they judge the right time has come. And after this fashion they have won many a fight"

      Actually this comes from a long tradition of Horseback Archery that’s commonly found amongst any Y-DNA R1b, R1a and Y-DNA Q men.
      So this is basically how all of these men’s ancestries used to be. Germanic men for example were not originally from Europe, but were pushed into Europe by invading Hunnic tribes.
      Imagine that all these tribes are really like rival brothers, cousins and such; much like European Nobility was.
      Almost entirely related, yet fighting wars to be the dominant family House.
      It was found that 4 out of the five bodies found in a Royal Burial from Royal members of The Golden Horde were actually R1b and one of them was Y-DNA Q.
      So most Eastern and Western Europeans (Those who come from these aforementioned Haplogroups) used to live exactly like this.
      Hence why during WWI the Germans were called Huns by the media at that time.
      You can even look at the Equestrian Statue of Genghis Khan built in Mongolia, by a Mongolian nonetheless and he has a far more Eurasian depiction. The same goes for his descendants, like the Mongolian Astronomer Prince statue and many seem to have a common characteristic of Red Hair.
      The original Aryans were mostly Red Haired, mixing with East Asian women gave some darker features and Eye Shapes.
      I myself am a mixed ancestral lineage of paternal Aryans and Maternal Canaanites/Mycenaeans/Etruscans and Ancient Egyptians who all seemed to share genetic, cultural and historical links and trade routes.
      Thus, I’m Y-DNA R1b and MtDNA T2 and this is an analysis on the K6 calculator:
      Ancient Eurasia K6
      Ancestral North Eurasian: 17.29%
      Ancestral South Eurasian: 5.78%
      East Asian: .99%
      West European Hunter-Gatherer: 41.24%
      Natufian: 34.7%
      Sub-Saharan: 0%
      As you can see I do have a small portion of East Asian, which seems to be associated with Modern Chinese.
      This seems to be through Y-DNA Q and MtDNA C, which are both found present in my DNA Autosomal analysis, though at minuscule amounts today.

      @@wyatt7465 Historical sources love to exaggerate. There’s also records of armies which exceed the total population of the empires raising them, stories of one guy holding a bridge against thousands of men, arrows blocking out the sun, and many other tall tales.
      It’s possible to loose arrows quickly, but 3 in 1 second is superhuman, aka not possible. The human body just does not move that fast. The rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle, or the rate at which a human can pull a trigger, is roughly 2 shots per second. That’s a 1/2 inch movement of one finger. Drawing a bow requires the entire arm to move several feet and takes significantly longer than it takes to move the finger 1/2 an inch.

      my point with that being humans who have a certain level of determination or motivation can do impossible things in certain situations. there are stories of parents lifting cars with their bare hands to rescue their kids. and this archer i was referring to was focused on one target and i never said he pulled the arrows back to full draw.
