Bayan eventually killed the veteran and the Mongol troops withdrew from the fray with their general who was barely alive and took him to their shaman, but perished nonetheless.		When the time came, Wang Dechen rallied the troops and silently creeped across the terrain until reaching the walls of the fortress. There he signaled for his to prepare as the throwers sent their lines to the top of the walls, where the hooks lodged in stone. Just as Bayan's unit began to climb up, the troops were ambushed by Song archers northwest of them in the trees who used the darkness to mask their positions, killing a third of the horde with rains of arrows. General Wang Dechen ordered Bayan's unit to dispose of the Song archers, leading to a confrontation between Bayan and a [[Zhang Zhi's father\|veteran Song commander]] in the forest. At last, the Song forces brought out their artillery and fatally wounded Dechen with an explosion, ending their significant contact.
