Genghis Khan Part 2: Rise of the Mongols
Real Dictators
The Rise of Ching
Chingus Khan is an early master of the psychology of war. He has plenty of tricks up his sleeve to get inside his enemy's heads. The Mongols have the game to overwhelm any nomadic camp. But laying siege to a city is another thing entirely. In 1208, Ching leads his forces to the Tangled capital, Zhang Zing. Not to be encountered as yet he sets upon a scheme both grand and slightly mad. No matter that the Mongols' own camp is also underwater or that the nearby city is duly flooded into submission. Siege is it turns out, a long-winded and expensive affair.
