從良功追蔡牽，步雲以四十人駕舟徑逼牽艦鏖鬥，舟小不相當，見兩提督至，亟投火罐焚賊艦，以長戟鉤舷，率數卒躍登，短兵相搏，殲牽妻及其黨。 Serving under Lianggong in the pursuit of Cai Qian, Buyun took forty men in a small boat straight at Qian's flagship. Though his craft was no match in size, when the two commanders-in-chief arrived he hurled fire pots onto the pirate ship, hooked its rail with a long halberd, led a handful of men aboard, fought at close quarters, and killed Qian's wife and her followers.
