How did Samarkand, known as the city of paradise, come to be occupied by the Mongol cavalry?

Because of the outstanding military talent of Genghis Khan, the leader of the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the great role played by his "artillery regiment".

The Mongols fought the world on horseback, fought with the surrounding tribes for a long time, and with the leadership of Genghis Khan, their combat ability was very strong.

At that time, the Mongolian iron cavalry was particularly fierce and special cattle, so Samarkand, known as the heavenly city, was also occupied by the Mongolian iron cavalry.

Because the leader Genghis Khan was a very talented person, and there were also ** advanced, such as the huge role played by his "artillery regiment".

Or is it because the Mongolian iron cavalry was too powerful at that time, and its combat effectiveness was off the charts, and Samarkand couldn't resist it at all.

Mongolia is the most fierce of the ethnic minorities, especially their riding and archery skills, which are quite powerful, and few people can beat them!

Genghis Khan personally led an army of 600,000 to Samarkand. The campaign lasted only one day, Genghis Khan first spread rumors in the local area, then held a pledge meeting to deter the army and the people, and then divided the troops into four ways to lure the enemy, so that Mahamat misjudged the situation and dispersed his forces to various cities, causing the defenders of Samarkand to be weak and captured by Genghis Khan in one fell swoop.

During the Mongol expedition to the west, it was by storming, encircling Samarkand with its army, and entering its most important military hub, Samarkand surrendered without any choice.

They had an army of 400,000 men, and the leaders of the state scattered them to various cities to protect them. Genghis Khan led his army of 200,000 and conquered one city after another. At the time of the capture of real Samarkand, there were no longer 400,000 soldiers, and most of them were already afraid.

Instead of defending Samarkand with heavy troops, Mahamat scattered his forces throughout the city, and as a result, the important towns of Bukhra (Bukhara) and Samarkand were quickly occupied by the Mongol army.

Although the Mongol army was very strong at that time, the defense of Samarkand was not bad, but the defense was still wrong.

That's because the forces of Samarkand at that time were too scattered, and the cities in the country at that time were occupied as a result.

At that time, the power of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry was quite strong, and no matter what kind of lineup the enemy was facing, it was possible to find a breakthrough and break it.

Speaking of which, the Mongol army is very attacking, while Samarkand is very defensive, but it may be that they think they are impregnable, but something goes wrong.

Personally, I don't think it will play a big role, and in the end, Zhao Guo will still fail. After all, the national strength of Zhao at that time was not as good as before, and it was even worse than the opponent. It certainly doesn't support this strategy.
