The Mongolian Conquerors
(Noel Tyl)
Genghis Khan(b.1155-67,d.1227;given the name of Temujin) was a conquerror of the most barbaric order,beginning his meteoric rise to rulership from peasant status among ruthlessly warring clans in his native Mongolia.To avenge the murder of his father,Temujin assembled an Army that eventually grew to colossal size(some 200,000) and systematically annihilated each enemy faction in turn,culminating with his total route of the Eastern Mongal Tatars in 1201.Temujin systematically slaughtered the every Tatar who was taller than the height of a cart axel,making certain that the next generation of Tatar will be loyal only to him.He then took on the name Genghis Khan,which means universal leader. Genghis Khan's military genius with cavalry invasion and tactics of siege led him to invasion and victory over the large area of lands including China,Afghanistan and northwestern India,and southern Russia.
