China, in this time, received many attacks by the Mongolians, like Attila the Hun. To protect the region inside the area where the wall now stands, the started construction on the great wall of china. This proved to be an impossible task for the Mongolians to pass and even if they had attempted, the watch towers along the wall would send out warnings and the wall was always monitered.
