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.

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.

I had a friendly debate with a coworker who was as into Mongol Empire history as I was and he contended that it was Jebe, while I thought Subedei was the greatest Mongol general. Although they both took part in the great raid against Sultan Muhammad II, Subedei, though 7 years Jebes junior, lived 25 years after Jebe died and had a much greater body of work and service to the empire than did Jebe. I don’t take anything away from Jebes extraordinary accomplishments, and even the fact that Chingiz Khan seemed apparently jealous and suspicious of Jebe after the fall of the Kara Khitai [Jebe seemingly dispelled the distrust when he sent 1,000 horses from the newly conquered regions that resembled the horse Jebe shot out from under Chingiz Khan, which was how he became Jebe (Jebe means “arrow” and wasn’t his original name)]. Though it can’t be proven, were it not for a quriltai being called to name a successor for great Khan, Subedei, or the generals that replaced him in the western theatre, likely would have pushed to the Atlantic. Also, I’d heard another person suggest Muqali, as he had to hold down north China with mostly second string troops, and was required to do so much with far less. I don’t know if this is ever to be solved to everyone’s satisfaction. But I think most can agree, the success of the Mongol empire rested on many generals for whom any military would kill to have just one as able as any of these three.

[@daemonblackfyre9599]

Muqali (Mukhulay) was simply the best general in the eyes of Genghis. And i second that too. Jebe was more like supervisor to Subutay.. Subutay become popular on social media due to some turks believe him being turkish lol.

Indeed, Mukhulai was one of Genghis khans' most trusted generel . When Mongols army started its campaign against khwarezmin(? How to write it forgot it), there is still war going in china, and Genkhis khan leaves Mukhulai with a few troops(around 20,000-40,000). There are many sources, so I dont know exactly. He single handedly fought against China a few decades until Genkhis is khan finish other campaigns. Not only did Mukhulai never lose battle but conquered many cities and sent Genkhis khan to new engineers and supplies for his campaign

The Kalka retreat was most definitely calculated. The feigned retreat was the Mongols favourite tactic, Subutai left treasuries on their retreat lewering the enemy in, the Mongols picked the perfect point to turn around and counter attack. It seems very clear to me this was not by accident. The Jin attack seems very unlikely to be like you said. I think it's more likely Subutai was scouting and when he ran upon the Jin army he retreated, like the Mongols always did. My clear evidence for this is Subutai coming back with a plan, after having completed the scouting mission, and picking the Jin army apart perfectly. It also wouldn't make sense that the Jin general would want to meet Subutai if he had defeated him not long before that, and if the Mongols only won because they could stand the cold weather better. No general would respect another general that they previously defeated and who only won the 2nd time because of weather conditions. That also doesn't add up I also don't see the stone forts not being breached being due to the Mongols not being creative enough, it's more likely they reverted back to their old tactic of destroying the surrounding lands starving out the people in the forts. Before they completed that tactic they returned to Mongolia. I feel this canal is purposefully painting a negative picture of Subutai. I've read quite a few books on the subject and I've never seen these events explained in such a malicious way.
