Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The speed of the Mongol army wasn’t repeated again until the 20th century. Mongol warriors could ride 60 to 100 miles a day, an unheard of speed in those times. Each man had four or five horses that traveled with the army so he could switch to a fresh horse often.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lightning Attack This tactic is perhaps the most important of all: lightning attack meant speed, and surprise attack meant suddenness. Its example is in 1213, the Mongol general Jebe with his cavalry, failed to take the city of Dongchang (Mukden), so they retreated for six days over a distance of some 170 miles.
