“He lived to 73” that’s damn impressive for a male in medieval times, especially for someone in his profession
That's just a testimony to his badassness, few men lived that long, especially men of army. He must have been very intelligent to survive that long
@@scintillam_dei watched the video...not impressed
SCINTILLAM DEI One word, smallpox
@@scintillam_dei look Alexander was one of the greatest generals of all time but he also made a made numerous serious errors including leading rash cavalry charges at Granicus the first real battle. It was more by luck than judgement that he survived his life being saved by a Man named Cleitus the black (who he later ordered killed after a drunken argument). He had charged the Persians across a river before any of his Infantry was committed and the battle was almost lost right there. The man was brave but stupidly reckless at times. On a number of occasions it was the sound judgement of others like Parmenion that pulled things through.
@@scintillam_dei Are you trolling, or just plain stupid?
He coordinated 2 armies 500km apart without modern communication equipment. What a champ

He invaded Russia in winter so his army could pass through frozen rivers . He is the best General in the world.
Never invade Russia in winter unless your name is Subutai.
@Slade Wilson there was the kievan rus though they were fighting between that's supposed to make his achievements any weaker , what about kwarezm with an empire stretching from syr Darya to Caspian sea, how about the song with 20 million population
@Slade Wilson true Moscow was a village but there were great cities like Kiev , Kolomna , Ryazan etc
@Slade Wilson also so was Khalid defeated the sasanids and the Byzantine Empire who had fought against each other and so was Alexander unifying Greek cities states constantly engaged in war with each other , so the point here is
@Slade Wilson true but he did cut deep into song territory so fast that the song had to accept his movement of troops through their own land

As this video states, he was surprised and defeated several times, sometimes because he overexteded his army, others getting ambushed because of lack of scouting, or strong fortifications defeated him.
One of the best.
Oh hell no, theres been generals that were undefeated, like Alexander or the less known father of Hannibal to name just 2

Subutai's greatest trait was his dedication to Ghenghis. Just like Agrippa was to Augustus.
Subutai was indeed the better one but I think Jebe is pretty underrated. He kind of taught Subutai
Belisarius was treated badly by his monarch, unlike Subedei or Khalid. These two are my favorite generals of all era
@@brrrrrtenjoyer The problem with Jebe is he faded from history and was most likely foolishly killed whereas Subutai lived and continued to fight until dying peacefully at 73.
@@jackson857 yeah that's why I said Subutai was the better of the two. All I meant was that Jebe was quite underrated.
Sometimes I think we fail to recognise how important loyalty is. No matter the results, victory or defeat, loyalty should always be appreciated and these figures of history, Subutai and Agrippa resemble loyalty.

His mileage must have been more than 30,000 km. 40, 50 thousand km? From Mongolia to northern China, back again to Mongolia, to Central Asia, through the Caucasus, through Russian land, back again to Mongolia, to northern China again, then back again through the steppe all the way to Eastern Europe. And THEN back again to Mongolia.

As a Mongolian, i wanna thank KINGS and GENERALS channel for this fascinating video about the general. Subedei general, we call him Сүбээдэй, was a Mongolian general and the primary military strategist of Genghis Khan and Ögedei Khan. He directed more than 20 campaigns and won 65 pitched battles, during which he conquered or overran more territory than any other commander in history as part of the expansion of the Mongol Empire. Definetly he played a huge role in expanding Mongol empire under Chinggis khan and Ogedei khan.
So, is it Subutai or Subedei?
@@libra9381 Subedei is correct
we call him like subutay or sübedey he is great turkic general who work for mangols
@@YuuSHiiiN sain, sain bnu broda🙂
@@libra9381 Subeedei or Subedei / сүбээдэй in Mongolian / are correct👍👌
Subutai & Jebe.... Best bromance..
Subutai is the most successful and skilful military commander of all times which ever exists. Under rule of Chingis Khan, Batu Chan and Ogedei Khan Subutai's armies have conquered the largest territory of whole Eurasia for Mongol Empire. He has won more than 60 military campaigns in almost everyone direction of expanding Mongol Empire invading China, India, Russia, Georgia, Europe, Mideast, Korea. He was notable for his prominent skills to operate armies moving more than hundreds km apart of each other and to use appropriate fighting methods for every single battle depending on geography and cultural conditions of his enemies.
65 Winstreak . It's only big war .. idk
Subutai was one of the 4 great generals of Genghis Khan.
Gengis Khan has 4 Brothers, 4 Sons, 4 Great Generals, 4 Guards etc ... and each of them was capable of leading an army and most importantly, they have extreme loyalty to Genghis Khan himself.
Imagine Genghis Khan would definitely be a greater man having people like Subutai pledging their utmost loyalty and life to him.

@@Gojoseon Fine can we just play The Hu through the entire video?
Pretty remarkable that Ghengis Khan had one of the top 10 generals ever working under him, as well as Jebe who's probably top 20 or maybe even top 10 too. Ghengis must have been a true genius to not only be a brilliant strategiest but to be able to first recognize then win the loyalty of other brilliant generals.
see Justinian, that is how you treat your great general, and he will conquer an empire for you then retire in old age.
Ah Justinian didn't have the resources for the campaign. And a massive part of it was the unfortunate death of John the Arminian when defeating the vandals. The loss of a fantastic cavalry commander really hurt the campaign

Genguis Khan: I want 3,000 horse and your immediate surrender.
Merchant: look all I got in this port is a 100 maybe I can get you at most 400, how about some glass and wine instead.
Mongols: we still want your surrender to become citizens of my empire.
Merchant: look I can't really surrender other people to you, just like you can't surrender others to me if I had armies, but sure I and my family I lead surrender to you.
Mongols:.... you know what do guys have any maps we can use.
Merchants: sure as long as we can have yours I am now apart of your empire after all.
Mongols to the Khan: idk they just surrendered we didn't honestly expect that, so they kepted the trade posts, and bought all our loot.
It gets better
Khan: I want 1000s of ships.
Merchants: we all together got maybe 30-50 ships and they're not the best put together ships. We also need timber, iron, cloth for them and we are on the steppes. Plus we still gotta do trade for you, how about we point you in the right direction for Timber, cloth, iron, help you build the ships, and send our friends and family members as head workers so they come out right.
Khan: sure sounds pretty good.
Merchant: Hey Khan the muslims in south won't trade with us, kill our messengers, and deny your greatness

@Xx X In fact the defeat was so bad that the Great Kha'an of that time (Ogodai) almost punish him severely, he was only saved by Tolui. And so the Great Kha'an order him to redeem his mistake by sending him to attack the west with a total of 3 average tumens(3 x 5000 troops) together with Jebe. And it was this western campaign that made him famous.
His defeat by monk general Wanyan Cheng was his most humiliating defeat in his entire career, despite the fact that Subutai Mongol army outnumbered Wanyan Cheng army by a several times.
I think there were some Mongol generals that were better than Subutai, like Muquali or the former Chinese general of the Jin Dynasty that later serve Chinggis Kha'an like Guo Baoyi.
But one thing is certain though, Wanyan Cheng Heshang certainly more formidable than Subutai. I'm also certain Southern Song last great general Meng Gong was also more formidable than Subutai.

Subedei was the most successful general of all time. Participating in more than 50 battles. Conquering more than 25 nations including most powerful ones at the time. Using siege engines as artillery in open field 1st time ever. Creating and implementing mongol army standard tactics such as faint retreat. Information gathering through spies and trade.
This man was a genius. There is no comparison. Used diplomacy as a weapon. Misinformation and psychological warfare. 20th century guerilla tactics in 13th century medieval times. And the list of his traits goes on. Art of war is childrens book in comparison with subedei.

Is there a really good book you'd recommend on the Mongols?
Also Uriyangkhadai, Son of Subotai. Who alongside his father participated on the conquest of Eastern Europe. Later he becomes general like his father. He invaded of Song Dynasty and Kingdom of Dai Viet. He also participated at Battle of Bình Lệ Nguyên, which is the largest and first battle of Mongol invasion of Vietnam during 1258 and he down 200 Vietnamese elephants by a shoot on it heads with arrows. After the battle, the King Trần Thái Tông escaped back to the capital and he used scorch earth tactic to abandon everything that the Mongol would able to use it in Capital. When the Mongol forces arrived at Thang Long, the capital is empty and Uriyangkhadai agreed that the King has fled away from a few days ago. He orders his men to search the food and capture the king, but it was resisted, raided, trapped by local Vietnamese people and the guerilla. Uriyangkhadai has no choice, but he has to leave the capital with sea fire and go straight ahead directly to Guangxi, Song Dynasty. He later died in 1272 in his aged 71.
gosh these vietnamese. Mogolians then americans now. Respect
Nope his father was blacksmith and he joined young Chingis khans tribe when subeedei was about 17 years old. And Subeedei’s father told to Chingis khan to take his son by his side as a an servant, since then loyally followed Chingis Khan and learned art of war from him and Zev general
I'm delighted that K&G mentioned TongTong, his great great great grandson at the end of this video. TongTong was not only a devoted scholar but also held the position of governor in the modern-day provinces of Hubei and Zhejiang in China. He gained renown for his exquisite mastery of classical Chinese poetry, and his verses were highly celebrated during his era. 👍
Allow me to share one of his remarkable poems, 'Blossom of Crimson' (小桃红): 筵前谈笑尽喧哄，一派笙箫动。媚景良辰自情重，拚却醉颜红，一杯未尽笙歌送。金樽莫侧，玉山低趄，直吃的凉月转梧桐。
Very believable. Who cant kill 200 elephants with a bow
i like how series mentions that he doesnt love killing,but only does it when it is necessary for his empire.
Is there any general in history who has genuinely fought in more varied places than Subutai? He legit fought from places in Southern China to modern day Iran, Caucuses, Russia all the way to Poland and Hungary.
Just by distance, yes Subutai probably has seen more varied places. But man, Caesar fought in France, Spain, Greece, and went to Egypt. Alexander went from Greece all the way to India. Considering that they were not leading a horse based army, it's quite an accomplishment! Also, Napoleon has been to Spain, Egypt, lots of places in Europe and all the way to Moscow.
Althought, if one measure the distance of travel, then the Pacific commanders probably have seen a lot of unvarying ocean. But let's not get to modern times.
@@direct2397 i'll give you alexander, but caesar didn't even come close to fight in as many territories as this man did. This dude waged war across the entirety of the eurasian macro continent. Aside from Alexander, i don't think there's a single man in the history of the world before the age of discoveries who could claim such a portfolio.
Thank you!!! He is easily my favorite Mongol general. Absolutely a master at organization. The tactics he employed in modern day Russia, Poland, and Hungary would not be repeated on a similar scale until WW2. Almost 700 years later!
How I wish Subutai wrote his own Art of War book. Such an underrated commander. In the past, I would go to wikipedia to read about him and it barely say anything bout his life and campaigns. Now there are more info. Glad he's being recognized.
For real! I'd love to read it if he would of wrote his own version of Art of War!
“Do genuinely pursue enemies, especially Mongol, fleeing.” ---Subutai Bataa, the Art of War
Give them to everyone (except Mongols). Win every battle afterward.
Actually his great great great grandson scholar TongTong mentioned at the end of this video wrote a lot of beautiful Classical Chinese poetry in his book. 👍
Though unknown to the west for many centuries, Subutai's exploits were featured by the British military theorist B. H. Liddell Hart in his book Great Captains Unveiled after World War I. Liddell Hart used the example of the Mongols under Genghis and Subutai to demonstrate how a mechanized army could fight using the principles of mobility, dispersion and surprise. In particular, Erwin Rommel and George Patton were avid students of Mongol campaigns

@@EA-806 Napoleon and Khalid also
@@archivesoffantasy5560 napoleon slightly questionable but Khalid is nigh undeniable
gobanito no we actually dont have much sources on him and secondly that title goes to his more famous liege Genghis Khan
@@Cecilia-ky3uw not questionable at all man. What’s questionable is the order of the three but those 3, along with Alexander the Great are the top 4
Julius Caesar and Hannibal Barca would be around 5 and 6 imo
I’m commenting from Mongolia. In my opinion this video was awesome.
I can't think of any other man who had spent his whole life on a horse back fighting across half of the known world surviving a thousand battles or more , only to die from an old age
Death had to wait for him to be old to be able to take him.
I just listened to the podcast of Subutai! The universe is speaking to me
Which podcast was this

I wish we had more info on him to make an 1 hour episode, guy done things that one could only believe come from myth, yet he's here to prove that you don't need to be a legend to make astounding feats. Literally the future of a continent was in his hands.
For me Subutai is the greatest general of all time.
@Slade Wilson that's fine. It's an opinion friend.
Agreed. My top 2 are Subutai and Belisarius, I don't put one above the other.

@@britishempire1584 They could never come across each other 🤣, The time periods are entirely different but Both are Great we can Never truly understand the Genius of a General leading thousands of men either to victory or Death.!
It is a shame that this legend of a man is not well known as other 'euro' centric commands, thanks for covering this!!
@Jayne Wayne how is this surprising? Everyone learns first and foremost about their own history.
Besides there is plenty of historical books about Mongols. Its not secret at all.
@Jayne Wayne there is 6000 years of known history. Not even historians know it all. Even they specialise. Every nation focuses on its own history. Its logical. Why would Angolan kids learn about Albania? Or Croatian about Marathas? Its useless knowledge to them.
@Jayne Wayne one own nation is not same as some other random nation. Besides you cant know everyrhing. For a future nurse or car mechanic knowledge of war between Portugal and Sultanare of Gutjarat and siege of Dion is simply not relevant. Besides there is too much of history. I mean do you know every state which existed in India and China in last 5000 years?
@Jayne Wayne and its a wonderfull that you are doing it. Still there is a lot of history. It is unreasonable to expect from high school kids to know all history. Every nation learns its own history and some globaly important events. History is not eurocentric. If it was Middle East would not have been craddle of civilisation.
Besides you will not be a better doctor for your knowledge of Mongol history. I like my doctors when they know how to treat patients, and my car mechanics when they know how to repair cars. They dont need to lecture me on their theories of actual age of pyramids and who built them.
@@shadhinov You're literally commenting on a video made about an Mongolian general about how people don't talk about Mongolian generals.
The level of idiocy is unfathomable.
The man, the myth, the legend.
Oh man this is awesome, finally, we need more documentaries about this kind of underrated commander, just because their superior are too 'great'. Next maybe Davout ?
Or a 2 hour video on all of Napolean's marshalls. More K&G videos the better!
I mean epic history TV is already making a series on Napoleon's marshals so they're going to cover Davout one way or another. I'm more impressed by Lannes though. Lannes was basically the Alexander the great of Napoleon. The only difference is Alexander charged into peasants with straw shields while Lannes charged into gunfire.
@@PROVOCATEURSK its not about praising someone whether if they are a virtuous or evil, its about learning history, about what they have done whether its 'good' or 'bad', its history.
Military commanders after them, studied Genghis khan strategies, upto world war 2, their tactics were still studied, even today the tactics is still applicable to war or fighting games... Something spectacular never dies.
When watching Genghis khan movies, documentary, its feels very short and not that great compared to how big and great he achieved in history ... i imagine in the future someone will make it in a game of thrones alike series... If you put it in a production it would be very expensive due to war scenes with different countries, asia to europe, imagine how many actors from different nations will be there. Probably, why no one wants to do it is because of how horrendous the deeds done, massacres and mountain of skulls.
@@PROVOCATEURSK , Subutai was not a criminal, that is insane to say. And he was not
As soon as I saw this video I instantly saved it to Watch Later, I have a huge admiration for the guy and this was a video worth the wait.
Russians: they won’t survive a Russian winter.
Mongols: You obviously don’t know Mongolian winter then.
The people of the steppes and the vast forests of Central/North Eastern Asia were (and still are) an extremely hardy people where the climatic conditions are the most extreme on earth.
One of history's greatest generals. Thank you for the excellent work!
No general conquered as much pure land mass as Subutai. In my mind, he made being called a dog a compliment. He proved that even humble beginnings can mean greatness. He was a ruthless and cold hearted killer. Not all men are created to make life beautiful. Some are made to let us know that beauty can't be had without hardship.
In hungarian the word "bátor" means brave. The hungarian history has several chieftans who had the name Bátor. 🇭🇺🇲🇳
Hello Bator means “Hero” in Mongolian. We believe that Hungary and Mongolia had a connection in somehow. Goodday brother!
As someone from the new world, all of these old world history and interaction with Asian geography, i find it really interesting. The western world tend to ignore and underestimate all of the human history from the other side of the planet. Europe is an Asian Peninsula
Honestly speaking, medieval European history pales in comparison to Asian history. Mongols, Indian empires, Islamic caliphate, shogunates and so much more. The diversity and wealth of this continent's experiences dwarfes the rest of the world.
Europe is irrelevant
@@CC-dx6bc European colonial Empires would like to disagree.
I'm delighted that you brought up TongTong, his great great great grandson, at the end of this video. TongTong was not only a devoted scholar but also held the position of governor in the modern-day provinces of Hubei and Zhejiang in China. He gained renown for his exquisite mastery of classical Chinese poetry, all his verses were beautifully written and were celebrated during Yuan dynasty.
Allow me to share one of his poems, 'Blossom of Crimson' (小桃红): 筵前谈笑尽喧哄，一派笙箫动。媚景良辰自情重，拚却醉颜红，一杯未尽笙歌送。金樽莫侧，玉山低趄，直吃的凉月转梧桐。
Greatest general of all time.
No, Khaled is the greatest general in the history of mankind
No there's too many greater; Alexander, Khaled, Bonaparte, George Bush...
@@mohammedsulaiman5566 Khaled kingdom would be bathroom in compared to Mongol Empire.
@@pappupager4832 lol khalid had the smallest of means , few thousand soldiers not war hardened and they uprooted those glorious empires to which people still give examples of. Others fought with huge army to their side and greatest of means Compare his battles to others campaign of Subutai in Russia is nowhere near Khalid. Subutai did not face such challenges most areas which u boast have literally zero importance they were mostly barren lands and villages they massacred unarmed civilians whereas khalid never ever did something remotely close to that.
It's like u compare ottomans of 15th 16th century to Russian federation everyone knows which empire was significant and wealthier.
@@pappupager4832 and don't forget Khalid conquered entire Arabian peninsula and Iraq in less than 2 yrs fighting almost 3 dozen significant battles where he was always outnumbered to 5:1 to3:1 and this is no exaggeration.
The second caliph did not let khalid fight and show his full potential he was sacked in 638 in that small period. He trembled Romans and Persians conquered entire Levant. Had he been given a chance to go full throttle. Muslims wouldn't have to wait for 1453 to conquer Constantinople
Thank you so much for this dope video! Been following your videos for quite a time now and you never disappoint.
I will love watching the series on great generals like Subutai. Keep more of these coming.
It's crazy how fast the Mongol culture changed. Subutai served under Genghis starting out as a nomad in a world with no administration beyond counting herds. His grandson and great grandson were administrators. That really shows the massive shift that took place over the generations.
Nomadic nations were pragmatic and easy to change.
To nomads, the world must be one. There's a single god in the sky(Not your Abrahamic one, Tengri) and there's to be a single ruler on the face of earth to bring stability.
And the rest of the world are just people to be taken under the yoke, and once they submit, their lives, their wealth, their culture must be protected because by Mandate of heaven, the Khan is also the protector of the world.
This ideology causes a lot of extreme violence, ruthless killings, massacres but also adaptivity, unbiased approaches, tolerance towards differences and all.
Mongol Empire had given all the freedom to every religion for example. And they never hesitated to become muslims or christians themselves either.
And this can be traced in many other nomadic khanates and even sultanates of Turks. Ottomans are a great example, they were muslims yes, but in the early days, they were open to any people, the empire was mostly christian, they styled to be Romans, as much as Muslims. The empire used Roman law as examples, more than it did on Sharia and such.
Parthians had Greek gods on their coins and all
@@subutaynoyan5372 This isn't necessarily true of all nomadic people. Germanic tribes, Native American(north and central) and Polynesians weren't as likely to accept others religions or assimilate them under their mandate as the Turkic/Mongol people's. I'm a big believer in Geography being the biggest factor in society and culture and it seems to me that the openness and brutality of the Steppe played more of a part in the Turkic/Mongol approach to religion and cultural assimilation/adoption than being nomad. This may explain why the Mongols who settled in China and Persia lost their identity much quicker than those who stayed in Mongolia or near the Caspian.
@@razorbird789 Okay I was to say pastoral nomadic cultures. Not just nomads
That is why Ghengis Khan is such an important historical figure, his way of administration and handling things was an exception among the clan leaders of the steppe. Mongol empire didn't expand after his death. His grandsons kept fighting with each other.
his great great great grandson TongTong was not only a devoted scholar but also held the position of governor in the modern-day provinces of Hubei and Zhejiang in China. He gained renown for his exquisite mastery of classical Chinese poetry, and his verses were highly celebrated during his era. 👍
Allow me to share one of his remarkable poems, 'Blossom of Crimson' (小桃红): 筵前谈笑尽喧哄，一派笙箫动。媚景良辰自情重，拚却醉颜红，一杯未尽笙歌送。金樽莫侧，玉山低趄，直吃的凉月转梧桐。
Me before I knew anything about Mongols: haha, Mongol horde that go brrrr our land now
Me watching Kings and Generals about Mongols: highly sophisticated and intelligent horde
Yes true i thought also they just crude people . Now i feel like enlightened thanks making this video
Just ruthlessly pragmatic. Things like using civilians as shields then piling them up as siege towers definitely drive home the ruthless parts. Where as things like making sure dead solider's families were given loot for life or allowing conquered people to maintain their religions make them seem almost liberal.
It all just comes back to what worked best for them and kept mongolians alive.
Such is always the way. The “barbaric” people are smarter than the prejudice suggests
A video which definetly deserved a like.
Detailed informations, great drawings and effects, and a good voice to listen to.
So glad this was made. Very impressed by Subatai's exploits in Europe and Russia.
Thank you K&G, your Mongol series is great as always. I can't wait for your next mongol video.l 👍

Fun fact: During their great Conquest era, the Mongol soldiers were forbidden from discussing about their dead comrades while being in camp, for such a practice was thought to reduce morale.
Fact that comes from?
@@dorjjodvo1992 maybe there any cultural context??
@@dorjjodvo1992 Comes from a Mongolian, with our own culture and history.
There is no such fact.
Mongols worship the Ethernal sky.
Man is nothing but dust, only Ethernal sky decides who live, who die. Man must do he must do, rest is in hand of Ethernal sky.
Mongols still talk each other "Bleeding is only make Mongols more fierce".
@@TT6809 That only proves my point of discouraging talks of the dead.

I absolutely adore history and especially learning about past conquerors and generals. Subutai was an awesome general!
Breathtaking work by Kings and General. I have ultimate respect for Subutai the one and only supreme general in human history.

Love imagining how it was for generals actually fighting on the frontlines and how badass that image is

I just wanna say keep up the good work, I have always enjoy watching it!
Oh my god. This channel is lit. Subscribed
I just don't have a befitting word to describe Subutai. He was a one piece with none like him. I just want to applaud on his loyalty, hustle and bravery and courage and so much more. Aggressive, wise and witty General. OBEY ✊
