Campbell - A Parting Shot (SP)-B/V/X/M/4T/P

The title "A Parting Shot" refers to battle tactics used by the 12th century Mongolian Empire led by the infamous Genghis Khan. His brilliant military strategies employed an extensive spy network, advanced tribes including the Parthians, ancient Iranian people. The "Pathian Shot" was a battle technique in which Mongol cavalrymen would manuever a galloping horse using only their legs, leavingtheir hands free to shoot arrows. In battle, the Mongol cavalrymen would feign retreat; then while at full gallop turn around and shoot arrows at the pursuing enemy creating a devastating ambush. This phrase has been transformed over the years and has entered our modern English language as the common phrase "parting shot"; a final hostile remark or action made by somebody who is leaving.
