The Decoy
A unit suddenly flees the battle, the enemy chases after them. Only to be lead nto an ambush This tactic was a favourite of Genghis.

Reinforcements
Units are held in reserve. These units enter the fray at planned times.

Spreading the word
Imagine your a soldier surrounded, you know your going to get killed - so you might as well fight like a madman and bring as many mendown as possible. The mongols always left a way out, and those who escaped told of how the mongols where vicous and everyone became afraid of them and surrendered instead of fighting.

Increasing numbers
Every Mongol soldier had around five horses with him so he had a freash one each day. Genghis told the men to put dummies on the spair horses ,and to light five fires, to make the army look 5 times bigger than it was,.

Battle By Bow
The mongols fight by bow on horse back, prancing around on horseback. When the enemy charges they ride away shooting arrows behind them as they go.
