次靖州，降將陳友龍叛，圍州城，而述夜開西門出，營山下，選勁騎乘霧衝陣，賊潰且走，副將賀進才戰死。 Near Jingzhou the surrendered general Chen Youlong rose in revolt and besieged the city. Ershu slipped out through the west gate by night, made camp below the hills, and sent picked cavalry charging through the mist; the rebels broke and fled, though Vice-General He Jincai was killed in the fighting.

城兵大噪，欲與友龍合，而述拔眾退守寶慶，告有德益師，與賊相持紫陽河上。 The city garrison clamored to join Chen Youlong, but Ershu pulled his men back to hold Baoqing, asked Youde for reinforcements, and fought the enemy to a standstill on the Ziyang River.
