三年，率所部從總兵程學啟攻嘉興，戰於合歡橋。 In the third year he led his troops with Major-General Cheng Xueqi to attack Jiaxing and fought at Hehuan Bridge.

進抵城下，賊以巨砲拒河口，學啟被傷，毓蘭率先鋒攻益厲，掘河口架橋濟師，晝夜環攻，轟陷城垣百餘丈。 At the city walls the rebels used heavy guns to block the river mouth; when Xueqi was wounded Yulan led the vanguard in a fiercer assault, dug at the river mouth and threw bridges across, and attacked night and day until more than a hundred zhang of wall were breached.
