It is also a myth that the Mongols were a pure light cavalry force. Latter Mongols deployed heavy infantry in massive numbers when the terrain favors the foot over the horse, evident in their campaigns against Korea, Japan and Vietnam. They also always have a heavy cavalry contigent composed of their elite kept at hand as a tactical reserve, deployed in the final charge at a critical time against oppsition properly prepared and softened.
A frighteningly effective force the Mongols were.
