The Fall of Xiangyang China’s Longest Siege Mongol War #Xiangyang #MongolEmpire #HistoryDocumentary

For years, Xiangyang did not fall — it waited.

This long-form Terra Stories documentary explores one of the most important sieges in world history, where patience, engineering, and cross-continental knowledge reshaped the fate of China. Along the Han River, Song defenders endured a slow tightening siege while Mongol commanders introduced new technology, including massive counterweight trebuchets brought by engineers from the Islamic world.
