仍攻厥固、張龍、子城，未拔，魏彭城守將楊目遣子孝邕率輕兵來援，欽逆擊走之。 He then attacked Juegu, Zhanglong, and Zicheng, but had not yet taken them when Yang Mu, Wei's defending general at Pengcheng, sent his son Xiaoyong with light troops to reinforce them; Qin met him and drove him off.

楊目又遣都督范思念、別將曹龍牙數萬衆來援，欽與戰，于陣斬龍牙，傳首京師。 Yang Mu again sent commander Fan Sinian and detached general Cao Longya with tens of thousands to reinforce the city. Qin fought them, beheaded Longya in battle, and sent his head to the capital.
