俄而契丹首領惕隱率勇騎五千至唐河。 Soon the Khitan chieftain Tiyin arrived at Tang River with five thousand elite cavalry.

是時大雨，晏球出師逆戰，惕隱復敗，追至易州，河水暴漲，所在陷沒，俘獲二千騎而還。 Heavy rain was falling when Yanqiu marched out to meet him; Tiyin was defeated again and pursued to Yi, where flooding swallowed men and horses alike; Yanqiu returned with two thousand captives.

惕隱以餘眾北走幽州，趙德鈞令牙將武從諫以騎邀擊。 Tiyin fled north toward You with the survivors; Zhao Dejun sent his officer Wu Congjian with cavalry to intercept him.

德鈞分扼諸要路，旬日之內，盡獲惕隱已下酋長七百餘人，契丹遂弱。 Dejun blocked the key routes; within ten days he captured more than seven hundred Khitan chiefs down to Tiyin himself, and Khitan power was broken.
