It's mostly because of the area we are in, and Fulks Supply depot gives a bonus to organizers supply gains.
Going by this discussion on horsemeat in sieges, a horse is worth about 60 man days of food. Since we are not under siege and have fucktons of labour, we can gather the materials for a massive smoking operation.
If that was a fully mounted horde we just smashed, we should be able to fix the fort, fill up Fulk's reserves, drop the prisoners somewhere that can use them and continue operations.

But speaking of promotions, Ashford just gained this broken as all hell trait.
Inspirational Leader: Your ability to inspire those under your command is legendary, and even the most undisciplined of peasants will stand their ground. (+10 to all rolls on all troops under his command. The troop's under his commands morale will always be at Unshakable. Morale roll at the beginning of the battle will be increased by 20 if this man is leading a Flank.)

Did we not gain any supplies from stuff the Mongols left behind when their giant horde broke and routed? 200,000 men needs a lot of supplies. For both the men and the horses.
Or was that just included under foraging?

You need to process the Horses for their meat to be usable (An action that you can take next turn which will net a MASSIVE Supply Increase). And the increase in supply gained this turn is from the Mongol's leftovers. And Fulks Supply Depot.

They still have plenty of men to throw at us, with a military genius on par with Vasily keeping them together, who did not fight in this battle. But we have certainly shaken their morale and forced them to take this war seriously.
Edit: When I say they have more men, they have more men in mercenaries and allies. The Mongols may have a high body count right now, but this war has just begun.

The Campaign Turn 2 (October 9th)
You took a deep breath as you surveyed the prisoners. They were now at your complete mercy, and they knew it. In their ranks, there were whispers about you. "The Demon of the Rus" was your new mockery from them, along with "The Khan of Death".
You preferred the first one compared to the second one. You were nothing like those savages that had destroyed your home. You were not a man who was to be trifled with. Being called a Demon was nothing to you. Those Horsemen who were now your prisoners were far worse than any demon of hell.
Anya and her Cossacks rode in the night before, singing songs of victory against the Mongol scouts. But they were in awe at the tales of your victory. How you killed so many men yourself in the field, how your cannons shattered the lines of enemies like they were leaves in a pile, being blown away by the wind.
But Fulk had let you choose the workload for the Mongol prisoners, seeing how you were the one that saved him.
How will you treat your Mongols?:
[]A Proper Punishment: They are prisoners of war, you will not subject them to anymore then what they deserve. They will do the labor, but they will work the same shifts that your men do. (+10 to Revolt Roll, Cost of Actions will remain at -75% next turn)
[]A Velvet Gloved Approach: You will treat them better than what they deserve, giving them half shifts compared to your men. Maybe you might win some over onto your side. (Revolt Roll will be canceled this turn. Enemy Troop defection roll will occur. Next Turn will have a -50% action cost. Morale of your army will plummet.)
[]What They Truly Deserve: They will be made to suffer the same hell your people have endured. Half rations, regular beatings if work was not done… And all other manners of torture for those that resist your will. (+30 to Revolt Roll, Cost of Actions will increase to -100% next turn. The other Steppe Tribes will be wary of you: -5 to making contact with the Steppe Tribes.)
There is also the matter of if you will march this season, or stay and winter. What will you do?
[]Stay for the Winter: It seems like the best option to do, Fulk needs the Fort repaired, and god knows this place needs it.
[]Continue: You need to keep up the fight on the Mongols, be the aggressor that forces them on the back foot. (Locations will be given if chosen)
Diplomacy: With Fulk's Fort secured, you can manage your forces better.

We should probably contact the 'friendly' nomad tribes. I doubt they're going to be thrilled with us, but I also have no doubt they hate the Mongols with a burning passion. They could provide scouts, supplies, knowledge of the enemy, knowledge of the terrain, basically everything we need. Even if we go on the blitz to keep our momentum, we should still try and at least establish relations.

We get two choices, and I personally prioritize signal groups and contacting our real allies, the empire.
