In episode 6 of The History of the Mongols, we follow the legendary raid of Mongol generals Jebe and Subutai, a campaign so daring it stretched from Uzbekistan to Ukraine, bringing chaos to empires and culminating in the Battle of the Kalka River (1223).From the pursuit of Shah Muhammad to the ambush of Rus’ and Cuman forces, this journey covers mountain passes, brutal sieges, and one of the most shocking defeats in early Russian history.

We explore:

* The Mongol invasion of Khwarezm and the death of Shah Muhammad

* The devastating path through Iran, the Caucasus, and into Eastern Europe

* The historic showdown at the Kalka River and the possible death of Jebe Noyan

* A surprise defeat by the Volga Bulghars that even Subutai couldn’t spin

* How this epic raid shaped Mongol strategy for their return to Europe

This is the Mongol "Great Raid" as you've never heard it, deeply researched, myth-busting, and packed with historical insight.
