聞壇敗，留精兵二萬屬郭行琮，身走城。 When he heard Tan was beaten, he left twenty thousand picked troops with Guo Xingcong and raced for the city himself.

行琮及壇皆歸行密，頵恚，自料死士數百，號「爪牙都」，身薄戰。 Xingcong and Tan both went over to Xingmi. Furious, Yun picked several hundred dare-to-die men, called them the “Fang and Claw Corps,” and led the charge himself.
