李世賢自江山來援，文察設伏大柘、大廟及石練山之前後，賊至，擊走之。 Li Shixian marched from Jiangshan to relieve them, but Wencha had laid ambushes around Dazhe, Damiao, and Mount Shilian and drove the rebels back when they arrived.

粵匪李世賢、汪海洋合陷漳州，文察倉猝率二百人內渡，遇賊萬松關，歿於陣，贈太子少保，予騎都尉世職，諡剛愍。 When Guangdong rebels Li Shixian and Wang Haiyang together seized Zhangzhou, Wencha hurried back across the strait with only two hundred men, met the enemy at Wansong Pass, and fell in battle; he was posthumously made Junior Guardian of the Heir Apparent, his family received a hereditary Commandant of Cavalry, and he was given the posthumous name Gangmin.
