前泗州知州張應云獻策規复寧波，奕經、文蔚皆然之，遂令總理前敵營務。 Zhang Yingyun, former prefect of Sizhou, proposed a plan to retake Ningbo; Yijing and Wen Wei both agreed, and put him in charge of front-line operations.

應云以重貲購寧波府吏陸心蘭為內應，日報機密多虛誑。 Zhang Yingyun bribed a Ningbo clerk named Lu Xinlan to act as an inside man; most of the intelligence he sent each day was empty boasting.

應云請急進，遂駐慈谿東關，文蔚分屯長谿嶺，令提督段永福、余步雲等趨寧波，游擊劉天保趨鎮海，副將硃貴駐大寶山，而應云率所募義勇駐駱駝橋，為諸軍策應，約於正月晦數路並舉。 Zhang Yingyun pressed for a quick advance. The army halted at Cixi's East Pass; Wen Wei held Changxi Ridge. Duan Yongfu, Yu Buyun, and others were sent toward Ningbo; Liu Tianbao toward Zhenhai; Zhu Gui took Great Treasure Hill; Zhang Yingyun camped at Camel Bridge with his hired militia to coordinate the columns. They planned a multi-pronged attack on the last day of the first month.

而敵已勾結應云部勇，勢且生變，不及待期，先二日輕軍分襲，不攜槍砲。 The enemy had already suborned men in Zhang Yingyun's militia and an uprising was imminent. Unable to wait, they launched light detachments in separate raids two days early, without muskets or cannon.

越日，應云所具火攻船為敵所焚，軍中自驚，奔大寶山。 The next day the enemy burned Zhang Yingyun's fire ships. The army panicked and fled toward Great Treasure Hill.
