The first third of Subutai’s career was extremely diabolical.
He was busy campaigning against the Merkits and the Cuman-Kipchak Confederation, though he was pulled aside by Genghis to help out with the Khwarezmian Empire Campaign. Subutai plays a role in the conquest, though his first major assignment is when he and Jebe are assigned to hunt down the fleeing Shah.
And so these two Mongol generals just fight their way through northern Persia, defeating any remaining Khwarezmian forces, and destroying any city which the Shah was hiding in. But the slippery Shah would ultimately escape to an island where he would succumb to a disease. Anyways, Subutai and Jebe decide to continue on westward anyways, where they destroy a Georgian army along the way, and eventually march up the Caucasian mountains, where they planned to catch the Kipchaks (who were fleeing west ward, as they were pursued by Jochi, though north of the Caspian Sea), in a pincer.
As they marched in a mountain pass, they would encounter the fortress of Derbent that was commanded by the Georgians that blocked their path. And so they decided, in the middle of winter, at night, with no knowledge of the land, and relying on sketchy guides, to rawdog their way through the Caucasian mountains, and bypass the fort entirely (before eventually attacking it from behind).
After crossing the Caucasian mountains, they would find the Kipchaks allied with a coalition of steppe tribes, and in this case, Subutai and Jebe would use politics to cause tension in the coalition and defeat each of the tribes in detail. The Kipchaks would flee to the Rus, who mustered a sizeable army against the Mongols, only to be destroyed at the Battle of the Kalka River.
With the Kipchaks finally defeated, and in the process having destroyed the Alans, Cumans, the rest of the Khwarezmian Empire, and gave the Georgians and Rus a bloody nose, you would think Subutai would chill out at this point? No he doesn’t. All the way back in north-central China, Genghis was beginning his second invasion of the Western Xia State. And so Subutai, still in eastern Europe, travels through the entirety of Central Asia, and through the desolate Tibetean Plateau, to attack the Xia from behind in a pincer.
From 1220-1226, Subutai wanted nothing but smoke against everyone on this planet. And he still has yet to pull off his even more ludicrous invasion of the Jin Dynasty, and his campaigns into Eastern and Central Europe.
