How on earth did they bypass our Great Wall?
They took on the Southern Song Dynasty, which the Great Wall wasn't under our control.
The song dynasty despite being a very technology innovative dynasty was ruled by terrible emperors.
Losing hope with their own emperor and see the suffering of their own people. Many rather work for the Mongols. The Mongols deploy large number of Chinese in order to defeat the song dynasty. Without these Chinese recruited generals, the Mongol can never beat the Song Dynasty.
This is the same as Ming dynasty. The last few emperor of Ming were absolutely terrible. In fact; they treat their own Hans more cruel than Manchu. Wu San Gui losing hope with Chong Zhen and see how the bandit ransack and rape the Beijing capital decide the best option is to join the Manchu.
Well, no need to blame the Manchus anymore, since their Qing Dynasty had gifted us with a larger territorial legacy.
Although I am not a big fan of the Qing Dynasty, which was also very cruel to the Han people.
