When the Mongols conquered the Jin dynasty, they didn't just take territory — they captured China's best military engineers. This episode follows the journey of powder-weapon experts and siege engineers from the Great Wall to Baghdad, tracing how Mongol armies mastered the art of fortress-breaking. Lucas and Luna explore the role of the Huihui trebuchet at Xiangyang, the use of gunpowder bombs at Kahnuj, and the mass relocation of craftsmen across the empire. Along the way, they discuss the life of Nasr al-Din al-Tusi's engineering connections, the siege of Nishapur, and how Mongol mobility merged with Chinese technology to reshape warfare from Korea to Hungary. #MongolEmpire #SiegeWarfare #ChineseEngineers #Trebuchet #Gunpowder #Xiangyang #Baghdad1258 #HuihuiTrebuchet #NasrAlDinTusi #JinDynasty #KhubilaiKhan #HulaguKhan #SiegeOfNishapur #KaraKhitai #YuanDynasty #History #FexingoHistory #MilitaryInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
