They usually will send the major part of their armies towards Levidia and Muscovy, so it should not be so hard to hold them in Georgia with a good defensive army with JHIs and plenty of missile troops. And the Armenians are great for dealing with the Mongol Horse Archers - sooner or later they catch up with them and then it is a massacre. Finally, Georgia is close to your production centers and replenishing you army there should be easy, compared to having to cross the steppes to get to Volga Bulgaria. I would worry more about the French, especially if they have built a huge navy, rather than the Mongols, as with the latter it is a matter of weathering the storm in a few battles, and with the former it may take a long war of attrition before you can feel your Empire is secured.
