南唐乘勝遣將陸孟俊逼泰州，周師不能守，孟俊遂進軍蜀岡，逼揚州，令坤棄其城。 Southern Tang pressed its advantage by sending the general Lu Mengjun against Taizhou. The Zhou army could not hold the city, and Mengjun advanced to Shugang and pressed Yangzhou, forcing Lingkun to abandon it.

令坤聞援至，復入城守，與孟俊兵戰，大敗之，擒孟俊，敗其將馬貴於楚州灣頭堰，擒漣州刺史秦進崇。 When Lingkun heard that relief had arrived, he re-entered the city to hold it. He fought Mengjun's army and routed it, capturing Mengjun himself. At Wantou Dam in Chuzhou he defeated Mengjun's general Ma Gui and captured Qin Jinchong, the prefect of Lianzhou.
