What you stated is true. They'd throw dead people or animals over city walls to spread disease. They would raze cities when they were behind enemy lines to make sure the Mongols didnt get sneak attacked. They sack a city and kill every tenth inhabitant or kill everyone except the artisans

Well, Genghis Khan Also Used To Rip The Limbs Off Of His Prisoners. But Someone Who Was MUCH Worse Was Any One During The Inquisition. You Can Google It And There Are Some HORRIBLE THINGS.
Also - A Random Topic - Genghis Khan Was OBSESSED With Sorcery/Magic, and He Kept Sorcerers Around Him All The Time.

Genghis Khan had taken or copied his war tactics from the war tactics of Prophet Mohammed. Style of firing bows, style of bombarding through cannons etc.etc. Well for brutality not only Genghis khan, even Alexander, Attila the Hun, Timur lame & overall Hitler was far brutal than Genghis khan.
