《明史·列传·卷一百三十五》
强盗们从高处往下呐喊冲击，政府军拼死作战，俘虏了谢朝俸的老婆孩子，乘胜利之势进抵河畔，正好碰到乌江失败的书信到达，收拾部队原地待命有十来天。
贼从高鼓噪，官军殊死战，俘朝俸妻子，乘势抵河畔。会乌江败书闻，敛兵不进者旬日。
The bandits shouted and charged from the heights up above, while the government troops fought with all their might, capturing Xie Chaofeng's wife and children. Buoyed by their victory, they went as far as the riverside, just when a letter about the defeat at the Wujang River arrived. They regrouped and waited there for orders for several days.
