Before long Haiyang invaded Yongding again; Guoqi hurried to destroy the Luotan Bridge;
賊分七路來撲，海洋自陣獅龍嶺，所部皆死黨，旗幟遍巖谷。
the rebels came at him in seven columns while Haiyang himself held Shilong Ridge; his men were all sworn diehards, and their banners filled the ravines and valleys.

He first broke their ambush, then advanced fiercely on several routes, killing several thousand and capturing all their stores; Haiyang leaped away and escaped.

Haiyang did lead his toughest fighters in an assault, was lured in, and the ambush rose; gunfire killed his chiefs Wang Dali and Huang Shisi, Haiyang was wounded in the wrist, and countless rebels were killed in battle or fell from the cliffs.
十二月，會諸軍擊賊嘉應，海洋伏誅，餘孽悉平。
In the twelfth month the allied armies struck the rebels at Jiaying; Haiyang was killed in an ambush, and the remaining rebels were all suppressed.
