是冬，復大發卒，遣聰、彌與劉曜、劉景等率精騎五萬寇洛陽，使呼延翼率步卒繼之，敗王師于河南。 Winter brought a second offensive: fifty thousand horse under Liu Cong, Liu Yao, and Liu Jing, foot under Huyan Yi, crushing Jin south of the Yellow River.

壁于洛水，尋進屯宣陽門，曜屯上東門，彌屯廣陽門，景攻大夏門，聰親祈嵩嶽，令其將劉厲、呼延朗等督留軍。 They bridged the Luo, ringed Xuanyang, Upper East, and Guangyang gates, while Liu Cong climbed Songshan to pray and left Liu Li and Huyan Lang holding the rear.
