既又敗之城下，法人決堤掩其軍，越人具舟拯之出，退頓丹鳳，與法人水陸相持，苦戰三日，部將黃守忠攻最力。 Soon after he was defeated below the city; the French breached the dike to engulf his army; the Vietnamese provided boats to rescue them; he withdrew to Danfeng and faced the French on land and water for three days of bitter fighting, with his subordinate Huang Shouzhong attacking most fiercely.

永福欲退保勝，黑旗軍皆憤懣，守忠自請以全師守山西，功不居，罪自坐，永福乃不復言退。 Yongfu wished to withdraw to Baosheng; the Black Flag Army was indignant; Shouzhong volunteered to hold Son Tay with the whole force, claiming merit for none and guilt for himself; Yongfu then spoke no more of retreat.

十一年，法軍攻左域，守忠失同章不守，諸軍敗挫，永福退浪泊。 In the eleventh year the French attacked Zuoyu; Shouzhong lost Tongzhang and could not hold it; the allied armies were beaten back, and Yongfu withdrew to Langbo.
