by some larger russian force so they had to :horse:

and ordered the army to abandon all the supplies bc the wagons were too slow

but that also included the booze wagons and some of the army got :argh:

and 1500 mutinied and started :rubshands:

The Mongol armies actually had tens of thousands of soldiers split into heavy lancers, light mounted cavalry and auxiliary infantry. But don't let that stop you from spreading this bull

troop numbers from history are often comically exaggerated. its doubtful that the mongols ever fielded more than three, perhaps four dozen soldiers on any given campaign

Yo Let me give yall a history lesson real quick. It's gone be gooooooooooooooooooooood.

On June 12, 1843 Captain John G. Shalinsky was living in Vaginayacha, Russia. He was the captain of the Russian naval base Stensikovorovliski. A bunch of guys under his command killed him because he --- get this --- didn't sign the treaty of Stalingarnich in 1822. It was crazy. Once he was dead a guy named Tardis assumed command of the naval base and everything was good.

The End.

Make sure you study for the test tomorrow. Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Cambyses army was buried in a giant sandstorm aka your pussy
