Years: 1210 - 1210
The walls of Yinchuan are by January 1210 nearly breached.
However, the dike used to divert the river breaks, and the ensuing flood wipes out the Mongol camp, forcing the Mongols to take higher ground.
Despite this setback, the Mongols still pose a threat to Western Xia, and with the state's crops destroyed and no relief coming from the Jin, Li Anquan agrees to submit to Mongol rule, demonstrating his loyalty by giving a daughter, Chaka, in marriage to Genghis and paying a tribute of camels, falcons, and textiles.
Western Xia attacks the Jin dynasty later in the year, ending years of peace between the two countries, as punishment for their refusal to aid them against the Mongols.
