招安使雷有終以兵五百授繼勳，守東郭二門，會賊攻彌牟砦，繼勳引兵轉鬥至嘉州，敗之，獲黃繖、金塗鎗以還。 Pacification Commissioner Lei Youzhong assigned Jixun five hundred troops to hold the two eastern gates. When the rebels attacked Mimou Fort, Jixun led his men fighting in retreat all the way to Jiazhou, defeated them, and returned with a yellow parasol and gold-plated spears as trophies.

有終益以勁兵復進攻二門，克之，乃建幟城上。 Youzhong reinforced him with crack troops and again assaulted the two gates. Once they were taken, banners were raised atop the wall.

諸將知城拔，有終乃引軍薄天長門，賊復來拒戰。 When the other generals learned the city had fallen, Youzhong led his army to press against the Tianchang Gate, and the rebels came out to fight again.

會日暮，有終欲少休，繼勳曰：「賊窘矣，急擊之，無失也。」 As dusk fell, Youzhong wished to pause and rest. Jixun said: "The rebels are cornered. Press the attack at once—do not let the opportunity slip."
