Later, however, not only were six cities under Qiong Ya’s jurisdiction seized by the enemy, but the garrison commanders under his command were all beheaded, their heads hung high above the city gates as a provocation and warning. Furthermore, the male family members of the soldiers were all slaughtered, while the women were raped and murdered before their naked bodies were hung on the city walls.
Qiong Ya’s malice surged. He marched his troops out, leveled the enemy’s cities, and stormed their strongholds. With a single order, he executed dozens of enemy generals in one go. Afterward, he massacred several more cities, sparing not even the common folk.
This battle served as the fuse between the Great Yu Dynasty and the coalition of nations.
