The Mongols employed several advanced military technologies to attack walled cities, including siege engines like trebuchets and battering rams, which enabled them to breach fortifications. They also utilized gunpowder-based weapons, such as early cannons and explosive projectiles, to increase their destructive capabilities. Additionally, the Mongols were skilled in psychological warfare, often using tactics such as feigned retreats and the threat of overwhelming force to intimidate defenders and encourage surrender. Their adaptability and innovative strategies made them highly effective in siege warfare.

The Mongols Created such a huge empire by killing women and children, and wiping out armies, towns, and cities. They eventually ruled almost all of Asia and most of Europe.
The Mongols only built up Russian cities that were deemed vitally important.
When the Mongols invaded Eastern Europe in the 13th century, they wreaked havoc on cities through widespread destruction and violence. Notably, the Mongol army captured and sacked key cities such as Kyiv and Kraków, leading to significant loss of life and displacement of populations. This invasion disrupted trade routes and weakened regional powers, contributing to the fragmentation of Eastern Europe. The Mongols' military tactics and psychological warfare instilled fear, significantly altering the political landscape of the region.
Many of the Mongols converted to Islam. They intermarried with the local people. Over time, the Mongols rebuilt the cities they destroyed during the invasion. In order to capture Baghdad, the Mongols laid a brutal siege upon the city in 1258. Additionally, the Mongols as a political force were expelled from Baghdad in 1341. The Mongols as an ethnic group were never a large population, this meant that after the fall of the Mongol political unit that they were quickly overcome by intermarriage and disappeared ethnically after the mid-1400s.
A small Mongol squadron of some thousand men tried to take Vienna, pillaging its neighboring cities, but Duke Frederick the II of Austria and his knights repelled the attack and killed as many as 700 Mongols in the ensuing battle. Also, at the same time, Great Khan Ögedei of the Mongol Empire died, and the Mongols never tried to take European lands (in the same effect) again.
