The ruins of the Black Water City are located in the desert on the east bank of the Nalin River, about 35 kilometers southeast of the town of Dalaihubu, Ejin Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Outside the city of Blackwater, where a devastating battle took place in February 1226, lies broken bones, half buried in the sand, probably from the massacre. Overlooking the tall outer wall of Blackwater City in the distance, although after years of wind erosion, faintly visible that year the was splendor of the whole city.

Blackwater City, also known as the "City of death", is said that the origin of the "city of death" there is a thrilling story! Hundreds of years ago, there was a "General Hala", also known as "General Black", stationed in the military town of Blackwater in the Western Xia Kingdom. The black general was so good at fighting and fighting that the emperor liked him so much that he betrothed his little daughter to him.

However, the black general was not satisfied with being a bridegroom under the emperor, he also had higher political ambitions. But because of the weak power, influence is not enough, so the black general chose to temporarily bide his time, biding his time. After several years of painstaking management and unremitting efforts, finally, the black general gradually fledged, powerful. At this point, he can also show. Thus, the black general began to openly recruit troops and horses, grass and grain, in an attempt to unify the world, said the lonely road. However, there is no impervious wall, the plot of the black general was learned by the princess, she will be the black general plot to usurp powethe r of the news reported to the father. In a rage, the emperor sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the city of Blackwater, offering a reward for the capture of the black general. But the army of the blackwater city for a long time, in order not to make the black general escape, had to put the blackwater city besieged. In oToquer the city of Blackwater, the emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty invited a sorcerer to make a proportions sorcerer said, "The ground of the city of Blackwater is high and the river is low. The besieging officials have dug Wells outside the city and there is no water, but the soldiers and people inside the city have no hunger and thirst.

So the Xixia soldiers used their helmets to hold sand and soil and built a huge earth dam in the upper reaches of the Heihe River to cut off the water supply in the city. After a short time, the city ran out of water, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty. They had to dig a well in the northwest corner of the city for water, but no water was found. Seeing that the city was at stake and defeat was a foregone conclusion, the Black General decided to have a final down with his opponent. Before the war, he put more than 80 cars of gold stored in the library together with other incalculable treasures all into this dry well and personally killed his wife and children. After everything was done, General Hei broke the wall and made a hole in the northwest of the city, and led his soldiers to the battle. They rushed into the enemy camp at the first step. After desperate fighting, the whole army was destroyed due to a huge gap in numbers.
