The fortifications were guarded by Wei generals Yue Jin , Li Dian and Zhang Liao , whom Cao Cao had assigned. Cao Cao's troops were far inferior to Sun Quan's troops, however, in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms there are mention of 30,000 Wei warriors and 100,000 Wu warriors.
However, Sun Quan and his two officers Ling Tong and Gan Ning were repulsed by Zhang Liao's trick . However, Gan Ning saved Ling Tong from Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao received the title of Conquered the East for his services , and Yue Jin the title of Right General .
