The Northern Song Dynasty has fallen!!!! This just in that Mongol forces, led by their fearless general Genghis Khan have breached the cities and the people were forced to retreat south and reestablish themselves. The breach began early in the morning. The sound of horses hooves is all the citizens could hear, and they only had a few minuted to react before the Mongols were on top of them!! After that the people of our dynasty stood no chance against the brute and merciless Mongols. Luckily, most of the people got out of the city safely, by finding the nearest soldier, who then escorted them out of the city safely. Without the soldiers, we could've said goodbye to our beloved empire!!!
Experts are speculating that the Song Dynasty fell to the Mongols due to their unpreparedness. If the attack were at a different time, such as noon, the results may have been different. Experts also believe that the Mongols invaded because they intend to conquer all of China! This is because the land known as Mongolia, where the Mongols come from, is either very flat grassy plains or bone dry deserts. China's geography is more suited for life, so the Mongols are trying to make our home their own.
We can stop these attacks with your help!! Always be alert and report and unusual activity you see going on outside the city walls. Doing these things will help keep up your dynasties proud ruling for many more years to come! Long live the Song Dynasty
