三月庚寅旦，帝率諸軍駐於紫金山下，命今上率親軍登山擊賊，連破數寨，斬獲數千，斷其來路，賊軍首尾不相救。 At dawn on the third month's gengyin day, the Emperor encamped below Purple Gold Mountain and ordered the present sovereign to lead the imperial guard uphill against the enemy. Several camps fell in succession; thousands were killed or captured, their line of supply was severed, and the rebel force could no longer support itself from end to end.
