四年，太尉陳顯達督衆軍北圍馬圈，景宗從之，以甲士二千設伏，破魏援托跋英四萬人。 In year four Grand Commandant Chen Xianda besieged Maquan in the north; Jingzong followed with two thousand armored men in ambush and routed forty thousand Wei troops under Tuoba Ying.

五年，魏托跋英寇鐘離，圍徐州刺史昌義之。 In year 5, Tuoba Ying of Wei raided Zhongli and besieged Xuzhou inspector Chang Yizhi.

景宗因使衆軍皆鼓噪亂登諸城，呼聲震天地，大眼於西岸燒營，英自東岸棄城走。 Jingzong then had every army drum and shout and swarm the walls; the roar shook heaven and earth; Dayan burned his camp on the west bank, and Ying abandoned his city and fled from the east.

義之出逐英至洛口，英以匹馬入梁城。 Yizhi pursued Ying to Luokou; Ying entered Liang city on a single horse.
