賊於營西順風燒煙，營內坐立不得，橫門扇及木爭出，賊矢集如雨，炅與中使薛道等挺身遁走，余眾盡沒。 The rebels set smoke to windward west of the camp until the troops could neither sit nor stand. They surged through the side gates and over the timbers; arrows fell like rain. Jiong, the palace envoy Xue Dao, and others bolted, and the remainder of the army was destroyed.
