江寧陷，賊分黨犯鎮江，副都統文藝集兵七百守陸路，文定自率艇船八、舢板十二泊江中，賊至不能禦，鎮江复陷，退江陰，詔革職逮治，論大辟。 After Nanjing fell the rebels sent a column against Zhenjiang. Vice commander Wen Yi gathered seven hundred men for the land defense while Wending led eight gunboats and twelve sampans on the river. They could not hold; Zhenjiang fell again and he retreated to Jiangyin. The court dismissed him, ordered his arrest, and sentenced him to death.
