鶴章、銘傳由江陰進無錫，淮、揚水軍輔之； Hezhang and Mingchuan from Jiangyin toward Wuxi, supported by Huai and Yangzhou river forces;

李秀成糾合偽納王郜雲官等水陸十萬，偪大橋角而營，鶴章擊之，敗走，九月，复集，連營互進。 Li Xiucheng rallied the rebel Prince of Na, Gao Yunguan, and others—one hundred thousand men on land and water—and pitched camp pressing Daqiaojiao. Hezhang attacked and drove them off; in the ninth month they gathered again and advanced camp by camp.

鶴章立八營於大橋角，與之持。 Hezhang established eight camps at Daqiaojiao and held the line against them.

乃令鶴章、銘傳守後路，抽銳卒會學啟合破賊屯，蘇、錫之賊皆大困。 He ordered Hezhang and Mingchuan to guard the rear, detached elite troops to join Xueqi in breaking the rebel camps together, and the rebels at Suzhou and Wuxi were thrown into great distress.

十一月，鶴章等復無錫，進攻常州，以應江寧圍軍。 In the eleventh month Hezhang and the others recovered Wuxi and pressed the attack on Changzhou to support the siege of Nanjing.
