Handgrenades, grenade-arrows, dirtbags and horned helmets ― Genghis attacks China

[Mouzafphaerre]

.
The latest episode of Genghis Khan has just ended. 49 year old Genghis' now exceeding 100,000 men army waged war upon the allied Jurjet state (Western Xia?) guarding the northwestern borders of China. Assaulting the walls of Xanxi (Xaanxi? which one?) they faced defenders with handgrenades and grenade attached arrows.

Genghis ordered dirtbags to be filled and handed to each cavalryman. At knight, under the foot archers' cover fire, they lifted an artificial mound before the not-high-enough city walls. The cavalry assaulted and the defenders routed.

An interesting detail, all Jurjets were wearing horned helmets.
