《明史·列传·卷二百零三》
此时正碰上天气大暑，军队前进很慢，副将万国春星夜急驰赶到蛮莫，设置了许多火炬作为疑兵之计，缅甸人害怕官军袭击便退兵，万国春乘机追击打败缅军。
会天暑，军行不前，裨将万国春夜驰至，多设火炬为疑兵，缅人惧而退，追败其众。
At this time, it was the period of the Great Heat, and the army advanced very slowly. Deputy General Wan Guochun rushed to Manmo overnight, set up many torches as a ruse de guerre, and the Burmese feared an official army attack and retreated. Wan Guochun took the opportunity to pursue and defeat the Burmese army.
