時蓬州兵已去，宋都統趙章復來據之，且出兵迎敵，文安與戰，破之，擒緫管王元而還。 The Pengzhou force had already withdrawn when the Song commander-in-chief Zhao Zhang reoccupied Longzhao and marched out to engage. Wen'an broke them, captured Supervisor Wang Yuan, and withdrew.

時宋以鮮汝忠、趙章易鎮開、達二州，而汝忠家屬尚留開。 The Song had reassigned Kai and Da to Xian Ruzhong and Zhao Zhang, though Ruzhong's household still remained in Kaizhou.

宋軍潰散，擒趙章，而守將韓明父子猶率所部兵巷戰，力屈，亦就擒。 The Song force broke and scattered; Zhao Zhang was taken. The defenders Han Ming and his son still fought house to house until spent, then yielded.

趙章子桂楫，守師姑城，遣兵招之，亦降。 Zhao Zhang's son Guiji held Shigu City; when troops were sent to receive his submission, he surrendered as well.
