《旧唐书·列传·卷五十四》
后面的人看见前面的军队陷入失败境地，也全部散乱，填积在河水中，数万人死亡，哭叫之声振天动地，他们捆绑器械，用枪作楫，投靠北岸，十个中间存活的不过一二个。
其后者见前军陷败，悉溃，填委于河，死者数万人，号叫之声振天地，缚器械，以枪为楫，投北岸，十不存一二。
When the troops behind saw that the front was defeated, they also scattered, and ended up filling the river. Tens of thousands died, their cries shook the heavens. They tied together their fighting tools, used their spears as oars, and floated towards the north shore. Out of every ten people, no more than one or two survived.
