This reminds of an ep of @wnsdpod.bsky.social from a couple of weeks ago, where @lukeisamazing.bsky.social and @goingmedieval.bsky.social talk about what happens when you try to mug off the Mongols. The results are... Suboptimal, to say the least.

It's a funny ep (and show) so go give it a listen.
