圍王都於中山，躬冒矢石，為飛石所中而卒。 While besieging Wang Du at Zhongshan he exposed himself to missile fire and was killed by a stone cast from the wall.

王都之據中山，璋為定州行營都虞候，賊平，加檢校太保。 When Wang Du held Zhongshan, Zhang was chief adjutant of the Ding field camp; after the rebellion was crushed he was made acting Grand Guardian.
