idk if u are a historian.. because of ur youtube username being "teamxxxsleep" cause if u are a historian then ur name should be more mature, also what kind of historian says "spank that"??? that just doesn't sound like a historian to me..

This is just a movie. Someone's... actually director's fiction... no one shoots his own soldiers when he wins. Stupid... Specially, the Mongols would never do that because they had less number of soldiers than anyone else...

@WartaNirun

I think you will find that did happen.

Where did the Arab horses come into this?. The facts are right, but the film is a bit of a dud.

This was quite an entertaining movie, but completely bullshit in terms of realism. This was a battle between two nomad armies, which both use horse archers as their primary weapon. The double sword tactics would have been completely pointless because the enemy would simply shoot up the small unit just like Genghis' troops did at the end. Genghis won because his troops were better organised, better motivated and better led. Not cos their enemy were retarded and didn't know how to use bows.

Stalin did the same. Any soldier that left battle field was shot by his own army...

@lexiconofskin165 true dat bro

Archers - teamkillers!

@ZackSephiris you can not have a degree to be a historian, you can pretty much be nothing to be1, i.e. amature historians.

The tactics in this clip look like a pile of shit.

@wpaxton haha ya i know it is a stupid movie, and ya i guess your right

[wpaxton]

@MrTimeb0mb No they won't. You may get a couple of idiots to chase after them but there were five Mongols retreating. The entire army wouldn't chase after them. The guys eight rows back wouldn't chase them because they know they not only won't get to kill them, so it will be a waste of their energy, but they won't even get to see them get killed, so it will be a waste of their time as well. This is just a rediculous movie that does things for pure entertainment value.
