1842年6月,砵甸乍集結自印度調派而來的英方增援部隊,再次向北進發、攻打長江,接連攻佔上海及鎮江,使南北漕運因而斷絕,並於8月4日帶領軍隊到達南京城下。
In June 1842, Pottinger assembled British reinforcements dispatched from India, advanced north again to attack the Yangtze River, successively captured Shanghai and Zhenjiang, thereby cutting off north-south grain transport, and on 4 August led his troops to the outskirts of Nanjing.
