六月，敵船駛入廈門，求通貿易，阻之，遂開砲，來撲砲台，參將陳勝元、守備陳光福奮擊，斃其前隊數人，發砲傷敵甚眾，乃遁。 In the sixth month enemy ships entered Xiamen demanding trade. When refused, they opened fire and assaulted the batteries. Assistant Commander Chen Shengyuan and Garrison Commander Chen Guangfu fought back fiercely, killing several in the enemy vanguard and wounding many more with cannon fire until the enemy withdrew.
