            There were more wars. The Mongols actually reached Austria and Germany, btfo'd the HRE's army, and then left because their emperor died and it was customary to stop fighting during such an event

            Baibars's army was made up mostly of Egyptians and Syrians in the same way, although it hurts, Baibars was the sultan of Egypt, today he is still admired in the Middle East.

            The core of Baibars' army was led and staffed mostly by Mamelukes, which means Kipchaks, Oghuz Turks, Circassians, Abkhazians etc. They did use local foot soldiers, but only as auxiliaries. As a matter of fact, they fought very much like the Mongols, with the addition of early hand cannon.
            More to the point, the Mongols found themselves at a severe disadvantage due to the lack of pasture in the Levant. The 12-20 thousand Mongols left by Hulagu under Qitbuga would have required 60-100 thousand horses to operate efficiently. There wasn't enough pasture, so they had to decrease their presence. In short, their position was not logistically tenable due to lack of grass.

            Mamelukes were operating much closer to their home base. The fact that they fielded a bigger army confirms this. In close quarters and outnumbered, the Mongols couldn't do much.

            Actually no, When Qutuz and Baibars rebelled against previous sultan they dismantled most of the mercenary forces of Ayyubid and kept only mamlukes who were recruited from kipchaks, sold into slavery by Golden Horde

            >Hindu
            Were not conquered by the Mongols despite Mongol efforts. Blame it on the climate and terrain all you want, it doesn't change the outcome. The argument is not that the Mongols weren't the premier fighting force of their time, the argument is that there were in fact ways to beat them despite that. The Hindus still managed to repel the Mongols, this is fact.
            >Japanese
            We're also helped by geography, yes, but once again the argument is not that the Japanese defeated them in pitched battle. As the screeching fanboy of an army renown for it's ability to avoid pitched battles and use cowardly, deceitful tactics to win at any means necessary, I would've thought you'd respected the asymmetry of warfare.

            It blows my mind someone could become so insolent because of the mere assertion that their favorite medieval fighting force had, at times, failed to complete it's objectives. Nobody is saying the Mongols weren't a serious, revolutionary fighting force, just that at times they had been repelled. This is a fricking fictional scenario for shits and giggles about how one could do that. No need to take it so personally. Now go finger your butthole to paintings of ghengis some more and make up some more imaginary reasons to cope with a handful of recorded losses

    Can you employ Vietnam's strategy anywhere in Europe to defeat the Mongols?
    >Frick off from the capital and literally let the Mongols take it but take or destroy everything so they can't loot it and resupply
    >Harass them constantly by using guerrilla tactics, destroy roads to hinder the Mongols, take advantage of familiar terrain, and take out their supply lines
    >Destroy the entire Mongol fleet by baiting their navy with a small flotilla into a river where the river recedes and the hidden stakes in the riverbed destroy all of the large Mongol warships while archers from the sides finish off the rest of the soldiers
    It seems like a decent part of Vietnam's strategy was to destroy their own shit so that the Mongols couldn't use it. Foraging and raiding nearby villages and living off the land was a big part of the Mongols' success. And if you prevent them from doing that, it seems like you can have a shot at defeating them

    I would do everything Bela IV did but with armchair historian hindsight bias.

    1: Personally oversee the Cumans and keep them close in my entourage so they aren't ostracized. Use them primarily to scout, harass the Mongols and help revitalize the art of horse archery among Székely nobles.

    2: Go through the expense of building fortifications out of stone, invite various western European experts to advise on how to do so quickly given limited resources.

    3: Order Italian manufactured crossbows and invite Italian artisans. Flood the entire country with crossbows and teach every peasant with a pair of balls how to use one. Maybe even women who want to keep their ovaries untainted by rapist seed.

    3: Have priests preach to the peasants that the way to defeat a horse archer is to stay in a fortified position and shoot back, every horse killed and every casualty is one more reason for them to pull back, every hour is an hour closer to dark. Make sure commoner infantry understand this. If you retreat their horses will simply cut you down like dogs. Drum it into their malnourished superstitious minds over and over. Shoot back, shoot back and shoot back. Distribute pavise shields also.

    4: Mohi was a good strategy, poor execution. The goal is to close off choke points like river crossings. I'd keep my cavalry back. I would also drum my nobles into understanding that you only send the cavalry forwards at the end of the day. Charge at dusk, charge at dusk, charge at dusk. You get your glorious charge, but at dusk when their horses are exhausted, your own are fresh and night falls by the time your horses are exhausted.

    5: Offer every baron the land of rivals who did not assist me as well as any land we manage to obtain in the east when we launch our counterattacks against the Mongols and their allies, create marcher lordships for the defense against the Mongols if they show dedication and competence complete with real privileges and a rise in station.
