Mongol Soldiers Died for His Mistakes

In the Mongol army, one man's mistake could cost nine others their lives. If a rider fled the fight, the rest of his group could be punished. So who carried the heaviest burden in the greatest cavalry army in history? In this POV history breakdown, we ride through five ranks of the Mongol army: Horseman, Commander of Ten, Commander of a Hundred, Commander of Ten Thousand, and the Great Khan. Each rank carried a different weight, and one of them lived under a rule that could turn a single mistake into a disaster. Which rank would you have wanted?
