當是時，雲貴總督岑毓英、廣西巡撫潘鼎新皆出督師，尚書彭玉麟治兵廣東。 At that time Cen Yuying, governor-general of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Pan Dingxin, governor of Guangxi, were both in the field, while Minister Peng Yulin directed forces in Guangdong.

廣西軍既敗於越，朝旨免鼎新，以提督蘇元春統其軍，而之洞復奏遣提督馮子材、總兵王孝祺等，皆宿將，於是滇、越兩軍合扼鎮南關，殊死戰，遂克諒山。 After the Guangxi army's defeat in Vietnam, Pan Dingxin was removed and Provincial Commander Su Yuanchun took over; Zhidong then sent veteran commanders Feng Zicai and Wang Xiaoqi; Yunnan and Guangxi forces united at Zhennanguan, fought a desperate battle, and captured Lang Son.
