They feasted on the supplies they captured. Genghis Khan turned Beijing into a prison. Within the walls, thousands starved to death. The survivors1 resorted to cannibalism2. Finally, Genghis Khan's army was ready to attack.
"All who surrender would be spared. Those who did not surrender but opposed with struggle and dissension would be annihilated3."
Despite enduring months of starvation, the commander of the Chinese army still controlled a formidable garrison4 with thousands of men and a powerful array of weapons. Genghis Khan knew that few in the first wave of the attack would survive. So he forced captured enemy prisoners to wheel the siege engine forward into the killing5 zone. It is said that each of his own warriors6 was given a silk shirt. If the arrow penetrated7 the body, it took the silk with it, making it easier to draw the arrow out and minimizing the wound.
feast: gorge, devour, consume
