九年，石達開圍寶慶，興恕率四千五百人赴援，扼九鞏橋，無日不戰，歷月餘，糧藥將罄，選死士欲以一戰決勝負，會李續宜援軍至，內外夾擊，毀附城營三，連日攻下，勢如破竹。 In the ninth year Shi Dakai besieged Baoqing. Xingyu led forty-five hundred men to hold Jiugong Bridge and fought daily for more than a month until supplies ran low. He picked volunteers for a decisive battle, then Li Xuyi's relief force arrived. Inner and outer columns struck together, destroyed three camps by the walls, and swept the rest aside in days.
