True Size of a Mongol Army - Experience the Endless Horde! DOCUMENTARY

Summary by Krater

This video examines the true size and composition of a Mongol army, breaking down its decimal organizational structure from the 10-man arban to the 30,000-man chun, along with the required horses, livestock, and pasturage. It concludes that a single chun's force of 253,500 beings—mostly horses—required vast pasturage that would leave the countryside desolate, making such a mass deployment largely ahistorical.
