      I've wondered about that. Every time a Khan wants to attack someone, they kill or mutilate some Mongol envoys. Convenient... on the other hand, why would the frigging Great Khan need to manufacture a cassus belli? Wouldn't the fact that other states exist be excuse enough?

However he thought they were just typical nomads and got very surprised when they came with Chinese seige engineers. Then he lost his empire and escaped. Then he came back and steam rolled the local population since mongols killed most of them and they decide to keep it.

      @@DaMartialAthlete yes some certain military advantages is needed.
      Military strategy, intelligence, the quality of the army is more better than quantity. For example, 1,000 elite veterans can defend a well fortified fort or castle against a big army for a long time if they had enough supplies and weaponry.
      On the field of battle, it mostly depends on the commander and generals when deploying troops and formations. Since on open field one must know that quality and quantity can change the battle just as much as strategies can.
      Quality troops (elites, veterans, etc) can be of the vanguard or reserved force, or some generals prefer some hand picked men (elite) to be flanking. Either way the army's core relies on combat experience, supplies of food and equipments.

      Is there a standard for Mongolian English transliteration? I read a bit on Mongolian history and encountered the terms presented in this video, but each book I read spells the terms differently. Could it be due to pronounciation shift from Middle Mongolian to Modern Mongolian; or simply due to different transliteration system?
      For instance, is it "Khatangku Dehel" or "Hatangu Deel"?

      It is due to modern mongolian dropping g between vowels in favor of double vowels and lack of distinction between (o,u), (ts, ch) and (ö, ü). Last but not least latin alphabet lacks necessary letters to make proper sound. For example хаган or хаан means king could be written khagan, khaghan, qagan, etc.

But what we do know is that the Xiongnu were the first steppes confederacy to organise their military in a decimal system. And both Turkish and Mongolian historians cite Chinese historiography sources on the matter. Mongolian historians argue that Xiongnu were proto-Mongol. Turkish argue otherwise. Western historians tend to argue a mix of languages and groups composing the Xiongnu. Scant writing and written form of what the Xiongnu spoke remains.
