The King of Xiping had the archers and crossbowmen ambushed on both sides of the mountain pass, almost completely annihilated by the Zhou army led by Bai Qingyan.
However, due to the Zhou army's lack of preparation, they were initially decimated by the barrage of arrows, suffering heavy losses.
Subsequently, Bai Qingyan ordered the soldiers to charge up the right hillside, annihilating the archers directly led by the King of Xiping, and then instructed the soldiers to use the arrows and crossbows from the King of Xiping's troops to shoot down more than half of the Xiping army archers charging from the left hillside in a rush to save their leader.
