《元史·列传·卷六十》
十二年十月，元军围攻潭州，斌攻西北铁坝，阿里海牙中箭受伤不能指挥，斌夜间集中兵力于栅下，黎明发起攻击，不利，斌曰： 敌军取得小胜，必然骄傲，放松戒备，我们乘机烧掉他们望楼，断绝其援兵的通道，围城挖三道壕沟，这样则城可攻破。 
十月，围潭州，斌攻西北铁坝。阿里海牙中流矢，不能军，斌以军夜集栅下，黎明毕登，不利。斌曰： 彼军小捷而骄弛，吾今焚其角楼，断其援道，堑城为三周，如此则城可得。 
In the 10th month of the 12th year, the Yuan army besieged Tan Prefecture, and Bin attacked the iron dam of the northwest. Arihaiya was injured by an arrow and could not command. Bin concentrated his troops under the fence at night and launched an attack at dawn. They were not in a good position, and Bin said: "The enemy has won a small victory and must be proud and relaxed. We will take the opportunity to burn their watchtower, cut off the passage for their reinforcements, and Dig three trenches around the city, so that the city can be breached.  "
