Gened brought a pile of belequel stones and began hurling them at the city gates, making large holes in thick wood. He also threw stones at the walls, with belequel piercing them without effort. When the gates were destroyed, Hohned's army began pouring out, but Gened continued hurling the stones, each of which would go through several soldiers at the same time. This incited panic and the army began to turn back. As they were fleeing, the rebels charged and entered the city, dealing heavy losses to Hohned's soldiers, who were taken by surprise.

The battle, however, ended up lasting for several days, with significant rebel losses. Gened was kept away from action, so that he could use stones to destroy towers and barricades from afar. The rebel army was led and coordinated by Keetoh and his sister [[Tareetoh]]. As more and more people joined Keetoh's army, including the serfs and slaves of Hohned, Hohned's forces left the city, retreating to the south across the dry plain of [[Kōnzoh]], towards another large Toor city called Chusoh.

Gened suggested they spare anyone who agrees to join him under their flag, even if they are a noble, and kill anyone who does not. His suggestion, however, was largely ignored and most city nobles who have not escaped by that time had been killed. The rebels began pillaging the city and feasting, although Gened urged them to pause and begin organizing for the campaign on Chusoh. One story states that when Gened called upon several of the miners, returning with food and jewelry from the fallen city, they laughed at him and said: "What are you going to do, kill us with the stones?"
