Dense smoke billowed out from the beacon tower during the day, and flames lit up the sky at night, but no reinforcements arrived. This made King Zhou You complain endlessly. The guards at Haojing resented King You of Zhou for being fatuous, and were dissatisfied with the general's frequent deductions of food and wages. At this time, they were unwilling to serve. As soon as the dog soldiers arrived, they reluctantly resisted for a while, and then dispersed in a crowd. The dog soldiers and horses swarmed into the city. King Zhou You, with Bao Si and Bo Fu, fled from the back door in a hurry and rushed to Lishan Mountain. On the way, he ordered the beacon fire to be lit again. Although the beacon smoke penetrated into the sky, no princes came to rescue them. The dog soldiers pursued them closely, and King Zhou You's left and right people also fled along the way, leaving only more than a hundred people who fled into Li Palace. King You of Zhou accepted the advice of his ministers and ordered the front palace gate to be set on fire to confuse the dog soldiers, while he himself escaped through the harem gate. After not escaping far, the dog soldiers caught up with them again, and there was a killing spree. Only King Zhou You, Bao Si and Bo Fu were left. They were already paralyzed in the car with fear. When the dog soldiers saw King You of Zhou wearing the emperor's clothes, they knew he was the emperor of Zhou and hacked him to death on the spot. He also snatched the prince's uncle's clothes from Bao Si and killed him with one knife, leaving only Bao Si as a prisoner (some say he was killed). At this point, the Western Zhou Dynasty was declared destroyed.
