Li Xubin

Li Xubin (simplified Chinese: 李续宾; traditional Chinese: 李續賓; pinyin: Lǐ Xùbīn; Wade–Giles: Li Hsu-pin; 1817 – November 16, 1858), courtesy name Di'an (迪庵) or Kehui (克惠), was a Chinese military general who lived in the Qing dynasty. He was a commander of the Xiang Army, a military force raised by the Qing government to help the imperial forces in suppressing the Taiping Rebellion. His younger brother, Li Xuyi (李續宜; 1822–1863), was also a commander in the Xiang Army.

Born in

Wuchang

in December 1856, he repelled several rebel counterattacks by using tactics such as the construction of a series of water-filled trenches.

Advancing down the

Yangtze Valley in early-1858, Li Xubin's forces occupied the surrounding area of Jiujiang before capturing the city on May 19. In an offensive to recapture Anhui

province from the Taiping rebels, Li Xubin was eventually killed in action while leading an attack on the rebel-controlled Sanhe Town (三河镇) on November 16, 1858.
