長興二年，延稟率兵擊鏻，攻其西門，使其子繼雄轉海攻其南門，鏻遣王仁達拒之。 In the second year of Changxing, Yanbin marched against Lin, assaulting the western gate while his son Jixiong sailed around to attack the southern gate. Lin sent Wang Renda to meet them.

仁達伏甲舟中，偽立白幟請降，繼雄信之，登舟，伏兵發，刺殺之，梟其首西門，其兵見之皆潰去，延稟見執。 Renda concealed armored men aboard his vessels and hoisted white flags in a feigned surrender. Jixiong believed him, came aboard, and the hidden soldiers leaped out and killed him. Renda displayed Jixiong's head at the western gate; at the sight his army broke and fled. Yanbin was taken prisoner.
