Siege of Xiangyang
The Siege of Xiangyang was a long siege of the twin cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng on the Han River from 1267 to 1273. Mongol forces of the Yuan Dynasty eventually took them using counterweight trebuchets. Accounts of the Song Dynasty treat the fall of Xiangyang as the pivotal event that opened the Yangtze to the Mongol conquest of the Southern Song.
