漢祖受命，從討杜重威於鄴下，殷與劉詞皆率先力戰，矢中於首，久之，出折鏃於口中，以是漢祖嘉之。 When the founder of Later Han took power, Yin joined the campaign against Du Chongwei at Ye. Both he and Liu Ci fought in the van with desperate courage. An arrow struck him in the head; long afterward he spat out the broken tip. The Han founder was deeply impressed.
