Why don't you go and ask the people who ruled those places how the Mongols were?

Cavalry was their forte. Sure they developed Heavy Infantry, but it was not that suceesful was it. At Ayn Jalut (granted that was still mostly Cav) Homs, or at Kyushu, wher they proved to be no match for a little known military organization calling itself the Samurai.
