三月，鄩遣其將楊延直自澶州率兵萬人，會於城下。 In the third month Xun sent Yang Yanzhi from Chan with ten thousand men to the walls.

城中潛出壯士五百人，突入延直之軍，噪聲動地，梁軍自亂。 Five hundred men slipped out, struck Yanzhi's camp, and the Liang line collapsed in uproar.

遲明，鄩自莘引軍至城東，與延直兵會。 At dawn Xun came from Shen to the east wall and joined Yanzhi.
