The military doctors were at a loss and believed that the soldiers had contracted the plague. Once the news got out, it caused chaos among the troops. More and more soldiers fell ill, too weak to even lift their spears, and the enemy from beyond the borders, seizing the opportunity, led a large army to breach the Chu Army Camp. In an instant, blood flowed like rivers, and bodies piled up like mountains.
Before long, the frontier fell, the enemy forces surged into the city, wreaking havoc like a swarm of locusts, burning, killing, and looting, leading countless families to be torn apart. To save their lives, people were forced to abandon their homes and flee, ending up displaced and homeless.
