是年冬，周武帝遣其柱國大司馬尉遲迥、齊國公宇文憲，柱國庸國公可叱雄等，衆稱十萬，寇洛陽。 That winter, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou dispatched his pillar of state and grand marshal Yuchi Tong, Duke of Qi State Yuwen Xian, and pillar of state and duke of Yong State Kechi Xiong and others — their host was said to number one hundred thousand — to raid Luoyang.

光親射雄，殺之，斬捕首虜三千餘級，迥、憲僅而獲免，盡收其甲兵輜重，仍以死者積為京觀。 Hulü Guang personally shot Kechi Xiong and killed him; more than three thousand heads and captives were cut down and taken; Yuchi Tong and Yuwen Xian barely escaped with their lives; all their armor, weapons, and baggage were seized, and the dead were heaped into a victory mound.
