Kozelsk
Spring 1238 — A minor town holds the horde seven weeks behind mud and ramparts; when it falls, every inhabitant is killed, to the last. The Mongols name it “the evil city” and forbid its name. Remember what defiance cost, and that they chose it anyway.
This is one scene of Chapter 6 — The Storm on the West in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
