惕隱以餘眾北走幽州，趙德鈞令牙將武從諫以騎邀擊。 Tiyin fled north toward You with the survivors; Zhao Dejun sent his officer Wu Congjian with cavalry to intercept him.

德鈞分扼諸要路，旬日之內，盡獲惕隱已下酋長七百餘人，契丹遂弱。 Dejun blocked the key routes; within ten days he captured more than seven hundred Khitan chiefs down to Tiyin himself, and Khitan power was broken.
