文育攻之甚急，載所屬縣卒並高祖舊兵，多善用弩，載收得數十人，繫以長鎖，命所親監之，使射文育軍，約曰十發不兩中者則死，每發輒中，所中皆斃。 Wenyü attacked hard. Zai's county levies were many of the Founder's old soldiers and crack crossbowmen. He took several dozen, chained them in a row, set trusted men over them, and made them shoot at Wenyü's host on pain of death if they missed twice in ten tries. Every bolt found its mark and every man hit went down.

[1]張彪自剡縣夜還襲城，文帝自北門出，倉卒闇夕，軍人擾亂，文育亦未測文帝所在，唯子高在側，文帝乃遣子高自亂兵中往見文育，反命酬答，於闇中又往慰勞眾軍。 [1] Zhang Biao returned by night from Shan county to storm the city. Emperor Wen slipped out the north gate. In the sudden dark the troops panicked. Wenyü did not know where Emperor Wen was—only Zigao stood beside him. Emperor Wen sent Zigao through the chaos to Wenyü to bring back his orders, then go again in the dark to steady the army.
