The wonderfully-titled (and wonderfully written) Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry covered some of the unique and hard to copy advantages specific to the Mongols. As you point out, logistics has as much to do with it as fighting tactics.
They're covered here in part 4 of a longer series, just scroll down a bit. https://acoup.blog/2020/02/28/collections-the-fremen-mirage-part-iv-desert-power/ https://acoup.blog/2020/02/28/collections-the-fremen-mirage-...
