Genghis Lords of the Bow (Battle Scene)

In Genghis: Lords of the Bow, Genghis and his Mongol army confront the thousand-warrior Chin army. The Mongols are severely outnumbered and will exit the mountain pass and be in full view of the Chin army. All the Mongols have on their side as an advantage is their incredible bow and arrow shooting. This battle to come is similar to the Ancient Greek battle of Thermopylae during the Persian Wars. 300 Greeks held off thousands of Persians in a narrow mountain pass. The Greeks would have won had it not been for help from fellow Greeks who showed the Persians around the pass and surrounded the 300 soldiers. The Greeks showed immense valor trying to fight off all the Persians, even though they lost. So in this battle of the Mongols versus the Chin people, the Mongols should fight hard and to the death in honor of their tribe.
