There are some old books available on Google Books (one linked below). In Edward Augustus Freeman's Historical Geography of Europe, page 500 describes some of the cities and areas subjected to the Mongols (or Tartars). There were a pile of others, so search the full view google books in this case for quick reference (physical books in physical libraries are for normal study, but you sound like you are in a hurry). Again, some of the good stuff is more recent, but this direction will get you there, but the reading will be hard at times and the spelling will often have changed. Good luck.

The first major city that the Mongols conquered was the capital of the KIN TARTAR EMPIRE of Northern China- PEKING. in 1215. Most of Ghenghis Khan's conquests were of the steppes but in 1219 he embarked on a campaign against Mohommed Shal Al Din-the Ghurid Shar of the Kwarisarm Empire of Persia.
The Mongols killed 1,640,000 at HERAT, 1,760,000 at NISHIPUR and 1,100,000 at MERV. Also many cities in China also were sacked.
When the islamic citizens of BOKHARA , whom Ghenghis Khan spared because they surrendered immidiately began persecuting the local christians in defiance of Ghenghi's religous tolerance edict, he remarked "the dead have risen from the grave, we must go and put them back where they belong". He rode back with his army, let the christians go and destroyed the muslims.
The very last city he took cost him his life. When he was embarking on the campaign against Kwarisarm he asked all his allies for men and support. The ruler of the TANGUT kingdom replied that if he did not have enough men and recources to complete the campaign himself he shouldn't be great Khan and he shouldn't go on the campaign himself. Ghenghis remembered this. When things were settled he embarked on his final campaign in 1226. He assembled a vast army and attacked the Tanguts. He besieged their capital CHUNG-HSING. Whilst the seige was on he got struck by an arrow. He became ill but expressed his wish for his army to destroy the place. They took it and did. They slaughtered everyone except artisans.
Then Ghenghis Khan died. They took his body to Mongolia. On the way, to keep his death secret, they killed everyone they met on the way. So even in death Ghenghis Khan had his bloodshed.
Hope this helps.
