以振武節度使李存進為北面招討使。 Li Cunjin of Zhenwu was made northern campaign commander.

五月乙酉，李存進圍鎮州，營於東渡。 On yiyou in the fifth month Cunjin laid siege to Zhenzhou and camped at Dongdu crossing.

時騎軍已臨賊城，不覺其出，李存進惶駭，引十餘人鬥於橋上，賊退，我之騎軍前後夾擊之，賊眾大敗，步兵數千，殆無還者。 Our horse were already at the walls and missed the sortie; Cunjin in alarm fought on the bridge with a dozen men; the rebels gave way; our cavalry struck from front and rear; thousands of foot were cut down and few came back.

是役也，李存進戰歿於師，以蕃漢馬步總管李存審為北面招討使，以攻鎮州。 Cunjin fell in the fight; Li Cunxu, overall commander of Tangut and Han horse and foot, became northern campaign commander and pressed Zhenzhou.
