The Indus
Nov 1221 — Cornered against the river, Jalal al-Din’s army is destroyed; he spurs his horse off the bank and swims out under fire. Genghis, watching, tells his sons: “such a son must a father have.” Khwarazm is finished; its last prince becomes a wanderer.
This is one scene of Chapter 4 — The Khwarazm Catastrophe in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
