"The Sino-Mongolian War of 1913 ended inconclusively, with the Mongolian army forced to withdraw from Inner Mongolia by Russian pressure. After the 1911 RESTORATION of Mongolian independence, eventually 35 of the 49 banners (appanages) of Inner Mongolia expressed some form of support. On August 20, 1912, after receiving arms from the Mongolian government, the eastern Inner Mongolian Prince Utai (c. 1859–1920) of KHORCHIN Right-Flank Front Banner (Horqin Youyi Qianqi) attacked Chinese towns in Jirim territory but by September 12 had retreated in disorder to Outer Mongolian territory. Togtakhu Taiji's simultaneous attack on Chinese towns was also defeated.

After receiving a promise of immediate supply of Russian arms and trainers in January 1913, the Mongolian government on January 23 ordered the neighboring Inner Mongolian SHILIIN GOL and ULAANCHAB leagues to mobilize 2,000 troops, and in February the commanders set out from Khüriye (ULAANBAATAR). In summer 1913 the troops advanced toward Linxi, Dolonnuur (Duolun), Zhangjiakou (Kalgan), Guisui (HÖHHOT), and the Urad banners. Virtually all the commanders were Inner Mongolian: the Monggoljin (modern Fuxin) bandit Babujab (d. 1916), GRAND DUKE DAMDINSÜRÜNG of New Barga (Xin Barag), and others. The soldiery was a core of KHALKHA and Inner Mongolian militiamen supplemented by many mixed Chinese and Mongolian bandits who fought for the Russian rifles and pay supplied by the Mongolian government. The five columns totaled about 7,000–8,000 men with rifles and five cannons.

At their furthest advance the Mongolian soldiers occupied Linxi, Kheshigten (Hexigten) Banner, Jingpeng, the outskirts of Dolonnuur (modern Duolun), Pangjiang, Erfenzi, Batu-Khaalga (Bailingmiao), Dashetai, and Ulaan Oboo. The lack of artillery was their great weakness. The armies' base camps in Shiliin Gol and Ulaanchab were open steppe areas with few resources, and lack of ammunition and provisions from Mongolia caused hardship to the soldiers and frequent pillaging of the locals. One Mongolian commander, Duke Nasun'arbijikhu of Khorchin Left-Flank Rear (Horqin Zuoyi Houqi), deserted to the Chinese in the middle of the campaign…"

On of the metal 20mm manufacturers used to make Mongol cavalry in its Boxer rebellion range; it might have been Qualiticast.

Of course 1/72 is actually closer to true 25mm, so Falcon might have something in its BR range – if you can track them down.
