Did mongols and huns really ride ponies into battle? How did

Never underestimate Asians, under all those 'cute' facades are a bunch of psychopaths

Would the pony riders have been able to fight toe to toe against Rome at its height?

>>2902990
Huns fought the Rome.

Mongols at its height would have fucked Rome. There's 1000 years of technological difference.

If Mongols were to have fought the Roman empire, Germans would obviously have submitted to them as they did to Huns. I think it's fair to say that they would have been victorious since Mongols had better logistics than Huns.

European horses of the era weren't that much bigger, it's not like Euros were riding modern draft horses in comparison

>>2903006
Didn't the huns fight a crippled and vastly inferior Rome compared to Rome at its height though? By the time the Huns came around I thought the Roman army was largely just mercenaries.

Cavelry was a stupid idea

They had to wade through bazillions of angry well equipped Germans to get to the Romans in the first place.

In all reality when the Huns finally invaded the Roman Empire their army was mostly made up of footslogging Germans, and the army they fought at Chalons was also mostly German.

Mongols also had access to Chinese siege experts that could btfo Roman fortresses.

Bazillions of individual german tribes fighting independently, not bazillion strong german armies.
Fighting 10k vs 200k a hundred times is far easier than fighting 200k vs 200k once.

Well if we are talking about Rome at their height they could BTFO of the Huns too.

There actually were Black pharaohs when Kush briefly took over Egypt
