安都軍副建武將軍譚金率數十騎挑戰，斬其偏帥。 Andou's deputy, General Who Establishes Martiality Tan Jin, led several dozen horsemen to offer battle and beheaded an enemy flank commander.

譚金先薄之，不能入，安都望見爽，便躍馬大呼，直往刺之，應手而倒，左右範雙斬爽首。 Tan Jin closed with the enemy first but could not break through. Andou spotted Shuang, spurred his horse forward with a great shout, and drove his spear straight at him. Shuang fell at the blow, and his attendant Fan Shuang cut off his head.
