Hmmm,
quite a number of lefties among the Ming soldiers in the picture.
Won't the horsemen collide?
Also, why is the cavalry on the red horse thrusting the halberd like a spear?
Okay, nitpicking I know. Sorry.
Great picture, really. Wish there's more of them. Thanks for posting.

Wow, another great picture you've posted!
You can add to the list of wonders-
Why's there an archer right next to the charging cavalry?
The brigandine also looks really loose with a few guys, like the dude with both hands on the sword, his pauldrons flap like there's no metal in them.
This is the perfect happy response to my ever present bother of "Nuts, Japanese military (samurai) is always overshadowing China :x"
You've made my day, my week. Great for reference too. The helmet designs are interesting.
All I need now is Mongols glorystomping crusaders to make my month.

I suppose the artist wanted to portray the different types of Ming soldiers as opposed to painting a real battle scene

Maybe not then, not in the Picture. But the Mongols pulled some Royal Kick-A** on the Europeans at that Engagement at Leignitz in 1241

Hi Kulong, nice pic, might that be the Ming intervention on Korea?

Yeah, it is.
If you want a Mongol stomp picture...
Yes, doesn't that just scream "I hate your round eyes white devil, but I lust after your blonde, well endowed women!" ?

Man, that was mean.
It's close to what Fu Manchu said in that series of famous yellowface movies
He had gotten the mask and sword of Genghis Khan, speaking to a big crowd of Asians "We will kill the white man, and take his women!" to the cheers of the yellow menace.
