十二年，進將阮思、陳六禦等復據舟山，朝命寧海大將軍伊爾德率師南征。 In the twelfth year the Ming generals Ruan Si, Chen Liuyu, and others seized Zhoushan again. The court ordered Grand General of Coastal Pacification Yeerde to lead an army south.

雄預治戰艦攻具，分兵遣裨將扼要隘，通聲援，而以舟師會伊爾德擊思，以橫洋、金塘為舟山要路，分兵擊破之。 Xiong prepared warships and siege equipment in advance, sent lieutenant generals with detachments to hold strategic passes and keep lines of communication open, and joined Yeerde's fleet in the attack on Ruan Si. He identified Hengyang and Jintang as the key approaches to Zhoushan and sent columns to break them.

張兩翼夾擊，殲其眾無算，思赴水死。 He attacked from both wings in a pincer movement and destroyed the enemy by the thousands. Si threw himself into the water and drowned.
