武夫則猛氣紛紜，雄心四據，陸拔山岳，水斷虯龍，六鈞之弓，左右馳射，萬人之劍，短兵交接，攻壘若文鴦，焚艦如黃蓋，百戰百勝，貔貅為群。 Warriors bristle with fierce spirit and ambition fills the four quarters; on land they uproot mountains, on water they cut dragons; six-jun bows shoot left and right; ten-thousand-man swords close hand to hand; they storm ramparts like Wen Yang and burn ships like Huang Gai; a hundred battles, a hundred victories; hosts gather like pi-xiu.
