Overview
[The Infidel Who Trampled Persia]
A city in Afghanistan, Nishapur; this ancient city linked to Hindu civilization was a part of the Persian Shah's empire. It was perhaps the largest city in Afghanistan at that time. Back then, Nishapur was home to a population of over 2 million people. As soon as the Mongols descended upon this city, they unleashed a massive massacre, putting approximately 1.7 million people to death. The women of Nishapur were abducted, and every man who resisted was slaughtered.
"The greatest joy is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him drowned in tears, and to gather his wives and daughters in your embrace." - Genghis Khan
[The Unification of Mongolia]
The army of the Tayichiud (Taidjut) tribe and Genghis Khan's army stood face to face. A valley lay between the two armies. Genghis Khan's enemies heavily outnumbered his forces, but as soon as they began crossing the valley, Genghis Khan launched an attack according to his strategy. Most of Genghis Khan's warriors were involved in this assault. The sheer ferocity of this strike at the very onset of the battle left the Tayichiud army stunned, and their defensive formation was completely shattered. Before the Tayichiud army could recover, Genghis Khan's second line of archers unleashed a barrage of arrows. The enemy forces had never imagined such an attack.
