The Mongols battle the Jin in northern China in 1211 CE. This illustration is from a fifteenth-century history of the Mongols.
Both the Song and the Jin made explosive last stands against the Mongols. After the Jin emperor committed suicide in 1234, ending the dynasty, one of his loyal warriors gathered all the metal he could find, even gold and silver, to make metal bombs to use against the Mongols in one last desperate fight. In 1277, some doomed Song warriors built a huge iron suicide bomb that killed them and many of their Mongol enemies.
