Unlike typical bows, these were masterfully constructed from layers of wood, horn, and sinew, giving them incredible strength and flexibility. Mongol bows had a range of up to 350 yards, far surpassing most contemporary weapons, and their archers could fire with devastating accuracy while galloping at full speed. They even mastered the art of shooting backward during a retreat, turning what seemed like a retreat into a deadly trap.
Mongol arrows were equally sophisticated. The shafts were made of wood or reed, while the tips were crafted from bone or metal, designed for various purposes. Some arrows pierced armor; others carried signals or emitted whistling sounds to confuse enemies. Each warrior carried an arsenal of around 60 arrows, ensuring they were never short of ammunition.

This combination provided sufficient defense while allowing them to move quickly and fight with agility. Helmets were made of iron or hardened leather, sometimes featuring neck guards or decorative plumes. Even their horses wore padded armor, giving both rider and steed an added layer of protection without sacrificing speed.
For several days, the two armies stood facing each other on opposite banks. The Horde began to cross the river. The Moscow prince, luring the enemy into a pre-prepared trap, began to withdraw his troops from the river.
