Mongolen unter Tamerlan, ca. 1336-1405

DBA Army 159b

The Mongol conquerer Timur Lenk (Tamerlan), was born in Kesh near Samarkand ca. 1336. He claimed to be a descendant of Dschingis Khan. Tamerlan raised an army of Turks und Turkic-speaking Mongols to subdue his rivals in the area of Turkistan, which he controlled by 1369. In the following years Tamerlan led many campaigns to enlarge his empire, until he died at Samarkand in 1405 while planning an invasion of China. The late 14th century Mongol army under Timur Lenk may be recruited for De Bellis Antiquitatis, using two boxes of Mongols manufactured by ZVEZDA.
