時總兵劉德成擁兵幹崖，飲酒高會，時升屢趣罔應。 At that time Regional Commander Liu Decheng held troops at Ganya, drinking and feasting at leisure; Shisheng repeatedly urged him but received no response.

應琚遣緬寧通判富森持令箭督戰，德成始抵盞達。 Yingju dispatched Dianning Subprefect Fu Sen with a command arrow to supervise the battle; only then did Decheng reach Zhanda.

會福靈安先被命廉軍事，具言宏榜諸人失守狀，應琚亦劾德成等遲留不進，於是俱逮問，而以楊寧為提督，且以應琚不勝任，召明瑞代統其軍。 At the time Fuling'an had already been ordered to investigate military affairs in detail; he reported how Hongbang and others had lost their posts. Yingju also impeached Decheng and others for delay in advancing; they were all arrested and brought up for interrogation. Yang Ning was made Regional Commander-in-Chief, and because Yingju was unfit for his post, Ming Rui was summoned to take command of the army.
