IV/52 LATER NOMADIC MONGOL 1266 AD - 1508 AD

This list covers all Mongol steppe-based armies after the period of the great Mongol conquests except the Golden Horde and its successors in Russia. It includes Kubilai’s traditionalist Mongol rivals such as Kaidu; the “Eastern Mongols” or “Northern Yuan” after the Yuan were driven from China by the Ming in 1368; the Oirats who fought successfully against Ming China 1438-1454; the Chagadais that split off to Transoxiana and Moghulistan in 1343, lost Transoxiana to Timur in 1363, but survived in Moghulistan until chased out by the Uzbeks in 1508; the Uzbek off-shoot of the Golden Horde that took Transoxiana from the Timurids 1501-1506, creating Uzbekistan; and the Turko-Mongol Kazakhs “adventurers” who separated from the Uzbeks in the 1460s. Except for possibly the Kazakhs (who were regarded as barbarous and unruly), they kept the old Mongol discipline, social organization and troop types of IV/35. Only a small minority of the armoured cavalry had lance as well as bow or had horse armour. Reference: The Perilous Frontier T.]. Barfield.
