《后汉书·列传·隗嚣公孙述列传》
数月，王元、行巡、周宗等率领蜀救兵五千多人，乘高处猝至，击鼓大呼道： 百万大军刚到！ 汉军大惊，没有来得及排开阵势，王元等冲破城围，拼死力战，得以进城，迎隗嚣回冀。
数月，王元、行巡、周宗将蜀救兵五千余人，乘高卒至，鼓噪大呼曰： 百万之众方至！ 汉军大惊，未及成陈，元等决围，殊死战，遂得入城，迎嚣归冀。
Several months later, Wang Yuan, Xing Xun, and Zhou Zong led more than 5,000 Shu reinforcements, and taking advantage of the high ground, they arrived suddenly, beating drums and shouting: "A million troops have just arrived!" The Han army was shocked and did not have time to deploy its formation. Wang Yuan and the others broke through the siege and fought desperately, and were able to enter the city and escort Wei Xiao back to Ji.
