In episode 3 of The History of the Mongols, we follow Genghis Khan as he sets his sights on the powerful Jin Dynasty of northern China. After consolidating his power among the Mongol tribes and securing his borders, the Great Khan launches a full-scale invasion that will reshape East Asia.

Witness how Genghis Khan’s disciplined armies crush Jin forces at the brutal Battle of Yehuling and break through fortified passes to the North China Plain. As the Mongols push closer to Zhongdu (modern Beijing), the Jin Empire struggles to mount a defense, culminating in a devastating siege and the catastrophic fall of the Jin capital.

We discover how Genghis Khan’s strategic brilliance and relentless drive set the stage for Mongol dominance over China.

 

Whether you’re a fan of Genghis Khan, medieval history, steppe nomads, or immersive historical storytelling, this series is your definitive guide to the rise and legacy of the Mongol Empire.
