v1.c7.s3.34
The Chinese general at once advanced and laid seige to Kiu-sou¹ the principal stronghold of Champa. Yang Mai sent an army in aid of Fan Fou Long who defended the place, but although the Chams scored some successes at first, the Chinese ultimately captured the stronghold. The general Fan Fou Long was beheaded and all the inhabitants above the age of 15 were put to the sword. The palace halls were inundated with blood and heaps of dead bodies covered the court-yard. An immense booty of gold, silver and various other precious objects was gained by the victors.
