《元史·列传·卷十四》
伯颜遣人至城下射书城中招降，不成功，于是以炮火、弓箭日夜攻城。宋浙西制置文天祥派尹玉、麻士龙来支援，皆战死。十八日，攻下常州，宋守将姚山言及通判陈火召等均战死，王安节被俘处斩，刘师勇单骑逃往平江。
刘师勇变服单骑奔平江，诸将请追之，伯颜曰： 勿追，师勇所过，城守者胆落矣。 以行省都事马恕为常州尹。
Bayan sent someone to shoot a letter under the city to the city to surrender, but it did not succeed, so he attacked the city day and night with cannons and bows and arrows. Song Zhexi pacified Wen Tianxiang to send Yin Yu and Ma Shulong to support them, all of whom died in battle. On the 18th, Changzhou was captured, and Song defender Yao Shanyan and provincial judge Chen Huozhao and others died in battle, Wang Anjie was captured and executed, and Liu Shiyong fled to Pingjiang alone.
