Why can't Genghis Khan conquer India?

Genghis Khan, as long as the name is mentioned, people's first reaction is that he is very good at fighting. Everyone thinks he is a great king. Indeed, Genghis Khan once led an army to conquer most of Europe, and his Mongolian cavalry was even more brave and invincible. However, few people know that brave Mongols are helpless and invincible in the face of a country's army. This country is India.

So what kind of secret weapon does India have to deter Genghis Khan from sending troops to conquer?

The answer is elephant. We should all know that in India, people respect elephants very much. They think that elephants are full of strength, have lofty wisdom and are very kind. In India, people live in peace with elephants. Moreover, after a certain degree of training, elephants can often become good friends of Indians, so Indians often let elephants plow fields and do farm work.

The Indian army has trained some giant elephants into war elephants. As long as these brave elephants appear on the battlefield, they will cause great psychological pressure on the enemy, and the Indian army can easily grasp the initiative of the battlefield and defeat the enemy. ?

Because the elephant is tall and powerful, its load-bearing capacity is amazing. The Indian army built towers on the backs of elephants, and then let soldiers climb the towers. When the two armies are at war, the Indian soldiers on the tower can suppress the enemies on the ground from the commanding heights. Imagine what a spectacular scene it would be when a large number of elephants lined up on the battlefield.

Since the first century BC, elephants have been trained by the Indian army as weapons of war. At that time, the famous peacock dynasty was able to stand in the east of the world by war elephants. Moreover, India also sent war elephants to the then Iranian dynasty and Alexander the Great. These war elephants played a great role in the war with the Macedonian dynasty and beat the Macedonian dynasty out of the water.

At that time, other countries only had war horses, while India used war elephants to cooperate with war horses and developed new tactics. The Indian army led the way with huge war elephants, followed by thousands of cavalry. The cooperation between war elephants and war horses caused great losses to the enemy.

In India, the elephant soldier ranks first among all arms, the cavalry ranks second, the chariot ranks third, and the infantry ranks last. It can be seen that elephant soldiers occupy an absolutely important position in the Indian army and are an important means to win the war. At that time, Genghis Khan stopped attacking India, probably because he met the elephant soldiers of the Indian army. At that time, the Mongols saw such fierce animals for the first time, and the Mongolian cavalry could not stop the impact of the war elephants.

After Genghis Khan died, his successor Timur decided to attack India again and conquer India for his ancestors.
