I’m curious about the systems they had set up to deliver supplies to armies in the middle ages. Particularily stuff like supplying huge horde armies or cavalry armies. Were they self sufficient? Depended on nearby villages? Huge supply networks? Etc.

All of the above. They would hunt and gather what they could and would be sent food and supplies from nearby villages. Supply reasons were the main reason why inland conquest wasn’t very popular until the Romans and their baggage trains, and most major cities were coastal. Easier to ferry in supplies from wherever they came from
