I have learned that the mongols attacking with their horse archers must have been insanely crappy for the people getting attacked. If they didnt have a castle to camp in, they basically had no chance of defeating a horde of archers, kiting and kiting and kiting. I understand better now how the knights of that time must have felt, forced to fighting an unbeatable foe. If you tried to flee, they would pursue shooting you with arrows, if you tried attacking he would flee while shooting you with arrows. You never had the chance unless you camped a castle or a river or something and had tons of archers to shoot down the enemy. (the reason why I didnt learn this in native is because the AI doesnt seem to understand how kiting works.)
