Battles and Wars:

Mongol Conquests (13th-14th centuries): While not directly in the 15th-16th century timeframe, the legacy of Turko-Mongol horse archery tactics endured into this period. The Mongols, with their exceptional horse archers, conducted extensive conquests in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East during the 13th and 14th centuries.
Ottoman-Habsburg Wars: The Ottoman Empire, which included skilled horse archers, engaged in a series of conflicts with the Habsburg Monarchy during the 15th and 16th centuries. Horse archery remained an integral part of Ottoman military tactics.
Tactics and Strategies: Turko-Mongol Medium Horse Archers were renowned for their remarkable horsemanship and archery skills. Their tactics involved:

Mounted Archery: They were masters of shooting arrows while on horseback. This allowed them to engage the enemy from a distance while maintaining mobility.
Hit-and-Run Attacks: Turko-Mongol Horse Archers excelled in hit-and-run tactics. They would swiftly approach the enemy, unleash a barrage of arrows, and then retreat before the enemy could respond effectively.
Harassment and Feigned Retreats: They were skilled at harassing enemy forces and employing feigned retreats to draw the enemy into ambushes or unfavorable terrain.
