《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪六十七》
贼军在战船上绑上木头，出船侧四五尺作为战棚，辛谠派勇士划小船钻入贼船战棚下，船上的刀箭均打不到，用长茅绑上草，放火烧贼船。贼船即已燃烧，贼军都跳船逃走，辛谠于是得率船队进入泗州城。
贼缚木于战舰，旁出四五尺为战棚，谠命勇士乘小舟入其下，矢刃所不能及，以枪揭火牛焚之，战舰既然，贼皆溃走，官军乃得过入城。
The rebels tied logs to their warships and extended them out from the sides by four or five feet as a battle platform. Xin Kuan sent brave men to row small boats under the battle platforms of the rebel ships, where the knives and arrows on the ships could not reach them. They attached grass to long spears, set it on fire, and burned the rebel ships. As soon as the rebel ships caught fire, the rebels jumped into the water to escape, and Xin Kuan was able to lead his fleet into Sizhou City.
