宣祖領前軍與重進、韓令坤合勢擊之，一鼓而敗，斬首萬餘級，追奔二十餘里，殺大將劉彥貞，擒裨將盛師朗數十人，降三千人，獲戈甲三十萬。 The future Song founder led the van with Chongjin and Han Lingkun. One charge broke the Wu line: ten thousand heads, a pursuit of twenty li, the death of Liu Yanzhen, dozens of officers including Sheng Shilang captured, three thousand prisoners, and three hundred thousand sets of arms and armor.
