守文與單可及率漁陽精甲五萬，夾清水而上。 Shouwen and Shan Keji then led fifty thousand crack troops from Yuyang up the Clearwater.

燕人將引退，左右伏兵發，燕軍大敗，臨陣斬單可及，守文單騎僅免，五萬之眾無生還者。 As the Yan were about to pull back, the ambushers on both flanks struck; the Yan army was shattered. Shan Keji was killed in the field; Shouwen alone escaped on horseback. Of fifty thousand men, not one returned alive.
