軍還，行次安鄴，憲等衆號五萬，仍躡軍後，光縱騎擊之，憲衆大潰，虜其開府宇文英、都督越勤世良、韓延等，又斬首三百餘級。 On the return march, when the army reached Anye, Xian's force — fifty thousand strong — still trailed behind. Guang unleashed cavalry and Xian's men broke completely. He captured their Kaifu Yuwen Ying, supervisor Yueqin Shiliang, Han Yan, and others, and took more than three hundred heads besides.
