粵匪汪海洋犯閩，陷武平、永平，李世賢踞漳州、龍巖與之合，旁郡縣多沒於賊。 The Taiping rebel Wang Haiyang invaded Fujian, seized Wuping and Yongping, and Li Shixian held Zhangzhou and Longyan in league with him; many neighboring districts fell to the rebels.

海洋以悍黨來援，敗之於東阬，又敗之大溪，乃竄廣東大浦境。 Haiyang came with his toughest fighters to relieve them; Guoqi routed them at Dongkeng and again at Daxi, and they fled into the Dapu region of Guangdong.

未幾，海洋復犯永定，國器馳毀羅灘橋； Before long Haiyang invaded Yongding again; Guoqi hurried to destroy the Luotan Bridge;

賊分七路來撲，海洋自陣獅龍嶺，所部皆死黨，旗幟遍巖谷。 the rebels came at him in seven columns while Haiyang himself held Shilong Ridge; his men were all sworn diehards, and their banners filled the ravines and valleys.

先破其伏，分道猛進，斬馘數千，盡獲其軍實，海洋跳而免。 He first broke their ambush, then advanced fiercely on several routes, killing several thousand and capturing all their stores; Haiyang leaped away and escaped.

海洋走廣東，踞鎮平。 Haiyang fled into Guangdong and held Zhenping.

國器知海洋將襲高思而虛攻程官埠，乃戒程官軍勿為動，設伏兩山間。 Guoqi knew Haiyang would strike Gaosi while feinting at Chengguanbu; he ordered the Chengguan force to hold still and laid ambushes between the two hills.

海洋果率悍黨來撲，誘入，伏突起，槍斃其梟汪大力、黃十四，海洋傷腕，陣斃及墮巖磵死者無數。 Haiyang did lead his toughest fighters in an assault, was lured in, and the ambush rose; gunfire killed his chiefs Wang Dali and Huang Shisi, Haiyang was wounded in the wrist, and countless rebels were killed in battle or fell from the cliffs.
