When only a young scholar in his twenties, Yelü Chucai witnessed one of the most horrific events in the history of Beijing - the Mongol siege led by Chinggis Khan. Lasting for months on end, and combined with some of the worst famines for decades, the siege of 1213 claimed thousands of lives. When it became apparent that all was lost to the Mongols, Chucai's brother threw himself off the walls of Beijing.
It is worth of note that the Mongols continued to grow well passed China. By 1300 it had reached the Black Sea, becoming the largest continuous land empire ever.

∙ 11y agoHe completely destroyed it, using war machines built by defected chinese engineers such as catapults, balistas, and a battering ram. The already starved city (for Genghis Khan stopped the supply routes, and the city was impoverished, some cities even resorting to cannibalism) couldn't do much to stop it, and the city was burned and destroyed. So sure of victory, G.K even left his armies alone to loot the city. Later, archeologists discovered "mountains of bones". This was the first of many chinese cities to fall under his army.
