《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪一》
后唐帝从杨刘率领大军前来援救，在新城西岸摆开阵势，城里的士卒望见援兵来到，斗志倍增，大声斥骂后梁军，后梁军砍断了连接战船的绳子收回了战船。后唐帝的船刚要渡河，王彦章撤除了包围，退到邹家口坚守。
帝自杨刘引大军救之，陈于新城西岸，城中望之增气，大呼叱梁军，梁人断绁敛舰；帝舣舟将渡，彦章解围，退保邹家口。
The Later Tang Emperor left Yangliu with his army to reinforce the new city and took up positions on the west bank. The soldiers in the city, seeing reinforcements arrive, were filled with fighting spirit and loudly abused the Houliang army. The Houliang army cut the ropes connecting the warships and withdrew them. As the Later Tang Emperor's ships were about to cross the river, Wang Yanxiang lifted the siege and retreated to Zoujiakou, where he dug in.
