With all due respect to their "Mongolian tactics," (not entirely true, but their mobility on the field would be comparible) the Rohirrim lacked the numbers to pull it off. Gondor's population was much greater than Rohan's. Thus, their economic base was greater, their pool of replacements was greater, and their initial forces would be greater. There would not really be that much of a contest, Gondor would win even if they had to slowly grind over their enemies, which they probably would have to.
