I know the bows, the things they got from China during the Yuan. But what were other weapons used by us during the Empire period?

Swords, specifically "ring swords" which were thin, curved slashing type swords. Maces and cudgels were also pretty popular. Probably more popular than swords because they're easier to make. Spears too.

thin curved slashing sword are called kiliç in Turkish
I know that the mongols used lances spears and even maces smal axes
But keep in minde these weapons were used as back up. bow and arrow were the main weapons.

Yeah, I knew the bow and arrow. Effective from 400 yards away I beleive if I'm not mistaken. Lol That was actually one of my talents when my school went for a some sort of camping like trip, had to do archery, horse riding, ect. I was pretty good at the archery having not done it before at the time, I was young, probablly 8 or 9 years old.

battle axe looks different....  the hatchets the Mongosl carried occasionaly were more like tools i think because of their size and looks. |

Do not make spams. Tell us which cities were captured by the Mongols using cannons.
