《宋书·列传·卷九十五》
但是被很长时间进攻，城墙的砖头被大量毁坏，战士死亡极多。剩下的老弱残兵疲惫不堪，城池时刻都有可能陷落，檀道济、王仲德日夜兼程而进。
然被攻日久，城转毁坏，战士多死伤，余众困乏，旦暮且陷，檀道济、王仲德兼行赴之。
However, after a long period of attack, the bricks of the city wall were badly damaged, and many soldiers were killed. The remaining old, weak and disabled soldiers were exhausted, and the city was in danger of falling at any moment. Tan Daoji and Wang Zhongde marched day and night.
