十一月，約同日水陸大舉，分攻武、漢，官文督軍分路進，水師擊漢陽東門，破五顯廟賊卡，李孟群又敗龜山援賊，王國才、楊昌泗由西門攻入，遂復漢陽，俘偽將軍等五百餘人。 In the eleventh month they launched a coordinated land-and-water assault on Wuhan. Guan Wen led columns inland while the fleet struck Hanyang's east gate and broke the Wuxian Temple stockade. Li Mengqun defeated Guishan reinforcements; Wang Guocai and Yang Changsi entered through the west gate. Hanyang was recovered and more than five hundred rebel officers were captured.
