《百战奇略·第一卷·骑战》
我不主张速战速决，并不是因为我畏敌怯战，主要考虑我军兵少而又临近敌人营门，所依恃的仅仅一水之隔罢了。
不速战者，非怯也。且吾兵少而临贼营门，所恃者一水隔耳。
I am not advocating for a quick resolution, not because I am afraid of the enemy or timid in battle, but mainly because I consider my army is small and is very close to the enemy camp, and I rely solely on a river to protect me.
