《南史·列传·卷二十七》
刘亮果断刚劲，熟悉刀盾，于是便拿着盾前进，直入重重栅栏，众军随在后面，于是全部摧破。
刘亮果劲，便刀楯，乃负楯而进，直入重栅，衆军因之，即皆摧破。
Liu Liang was resolute and strong, and he was familiar with knives and shields. So he took a shield and advanced, going straight into the heavy fences, followed by the rest of the army, and completely destroying them.
