这一天，杜威命全军士兵到营外列阵，军士们十分踊跃，以为就要打仗。杜威亲自告诉他们： 现在粮食吃光无路可走，应和你们一同求取生存的办法。 
是日，威悉命军士出陈于外，军士皆踊跃，以为且战，威亲谕之曰： 今食尽涂穷，当与汝曹共求生计。 
That day, Dewey ordered all army soldiers to line up outside the camp, the soldiers were very happy, thinking that they would fight. Dewey personally told them: “We have run out of food and we have nowhere to go, we should seek a way to survive with you.”
