明桂王遣將張光翠、張景春窺辰州，屯荔溪。 The Ming Prince of Gui sent generals Zhang Guangcui and Zhang Jingchun to probe Chenzhou. They encamped at Lixi.

桂王復遣白文選來攻，驅象為陣，破城，勇巷戰死之，贈太子太保，進世職二等，諡忠節。 The Prince of Gui sent Bai Wenxuan to attack again. The enemy drove war elephants into formation, breached the walls, and Yong fell fighting in the streets. He was posthumously granted Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent, advanced in hereditary rank to the second rank, and given the posthumous title Zhongjie.
