軍中疫作，李秀成大舉來援，逼壘鏖戰，國荃督陣，砲傷頰，臣典與副將倪桂節力衛之，桂節陣亡。 When plague swept the army, Li Xiucheng marched up in strength; the rebels pressed the encampment in bitter fighting. Guoquan commanded from the front and took a shell wound to the cheek; Chendian and Deputy Commander Ni Guijie fought hard to shield him, and Guijie fell on the field.
