勒兵渡曷剌河，進擊餘黨，斥候不謹，其將勃括聚兵稠林中，擊遼軍不備。 He led his troops across the Hela River to pursue the remnants, but careless scouting let the rebel general Bokuo mass men in thick woods and fall on the Liao army unawares.

勃括是夜來襲。 That night Bokuo launched a night attack.

翌日，遼後軍至，勃括誘於厥之眾皆遁，世良追之，軍至險厄。 The next day Liao reinforcements arrived; Bokuo had incited the Yujue to scatter, and Shiliang pursued them into dangerous country.

勃括方阻險少休，遼軍偵知其所，世良不亟掩之，勃括輕騎遁去。 Bokuo had halted in a defile to rest; scouts found him, but Shiliang failed to strike quickly and Bokuo fled on fast horses.
