Genghis Khan and the Last Stand of Jalal al-Din at the Indus River

After the fall of Samarkand and Bukhara, the Khwarazmian prince Jalal al-Din Mingburnu rallied the remnants of his father's empire. In 1221, Genghis Khan personally pursued him to the banks of the Indus River. There, in a desperate battle, Jalal al-Din's army was crushed, but his legendary leap into the river on horseback secured his escape and earned Genghis Khan's grudging admiration. This episode explores the campaign, the battle, and the lasting legacy of the prince who defied the Mongol conqueror. #GenghisKhan #JalalAlDin #KhwarazmianEmpire #BattleOfTheIndus #MongolEmpire #1221 #CentralAsia #MongolConquest #SiegeWarfare #HorseArchers #MongolTactics #Juvayni #RashidAlDin #History #FexingoHistory #IndusRiver #MongolInvasion #SteppeWarfare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
