How Genghis Khan Revolutionized Fear

He didn’t just conquer — he redefined warfare.

In the 13th century, Genghis Khan built an empire through innovation, terror, and unmatched psychological strategy.
The Mongols mastered siege warfare by recruiting Chinese engineers — inventors of catapults, gunpowder bombs, and advanced siege towers.
At the Siege of Zhongdu, flaming arrows set the skies ablaze while massive trebuchets shattered city walls.

But the deadliest weapon wasn’t steel — it was fear.
Genghis ordered disease-ridden corpses and severed heads launched over walls to break enemy morale.
Entire cities surrendered before a single arrow was fired.

To Genghis Khan, siege warfare was a science of the mind — a weaponized fear that no wall could stop.
