The Jin soldiers where the Zhaowang River merged into the Wohe River were squeezed into a small area of less than 200 steps, and they were crowded into a group.
The soldiers and generals had long been unable to communicate with each other.
At this time, the Han army's formation suddenly became silent.
Due to the sharp shortening of the battle line, the front row of musketeers has changed from one row to four or five rows.
They all pointed their flat-ended triple barrel muskets at the huddled golden soldiers.
The panicked Jin soldiers didn't know what the Han army was going to do.
After a moment of silence, the Han soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "Put down your weapons.
Those who surrender will not be killed."
They shouted three times in a row.
The Jin soldiers dropped their weapons to the ground one after another, and knelt on the ground with their hands raised high.
There were only a few Jurchen soldiers, centurions, thousands and other leaders, who screamed strangely and swung their swords to kill other soldiers who surrendered around them.
However, after a while, they were picked up by the surrounding soldiers and chopped into pieces.
There is only a piece of golden soldiers in the northeast corner with about 300 people, all of which are composed of iron pagodas that have lost their horses.
They suddenly shouted and screamed in unison, and rushed towards the Han army musketeers closest to them with their swords drawn.
There is no doubt that they were like fallen leaves in autumn, falling to the ground amidst the banging gunfire, and no one was spared.
"Your Majesty, we have counted the corpses and prisoners and found no Wanyan Wushu."
Yao Zhen, the commander of the guards in front of Yue Fei's palace, reported to Yue Fei.
Seeing a trace of regret flash across Yue Fei's face, Yao Zhen added: "Unless Wanyan Wushu crossed the river secretly, he couldn't have disappeared without a trace.
Maybe we missed it when we counted the bodies.
How about I order the soldiers?
Let’s check it carefully again.”
Yue Fei shook his head and said, "It's too late.
We must organize our soldiers immediately and return to fight.
The 60,000 golden soldiers from the north should have already come over.
Even if Wanyan Wushu sneaks across the Guohe River and escapes, it will be difficult for him to escape from us.
Hussars deployed on the opposite bank tracked."
After counting, more than ten thousand golden soldiers were killed in this battle.
Those seriously injured Jin soldiers had no way to save them, so they were all killed on the spot by the Han army, ending their wailing.
In addition, more than 10,000 Jin soldiers were captured, most of whom were Han or Khitan people and Bohai soldiers.
After the weapons of these prisoners were collected, they were piled up like a hill on the bank of the Guohe River.
They were divided into ten groups and guarded separately.
The Han army reorganized their ranks amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, leaving more than a thousand Wei soldiers on their backs to guard the prisoners, while the rest of the soldiers quickly returned north in marching formation.
At this time, thirty miles to the north, King Gaitian led an overwhelming force of 60,000 gold soldiers and rushed down the west bank of the Guohe River.
Soon he entered the position prepared by the 10,000 Han troops commanded by Zhang Xian.
This preset position of the Han army is not a linear formation from the east bank of Zhaowang River to the west bank of Guo River, cutting off the entire area between the two rivers.
In that case, the strength of each local point would be too weak.
Zhang Xian followed Yue Fei's strategy, setting up five circular military formations in groups of two thousand people, and before the Jin army arrived, he built a simple circular fortification with shield vehicles, chariots and pontoon vehicles.
These five circular positions are arranged in a plum blossom shape to form a large formation.
Each circular formation is separated by about a hundred steps, and a simple four-foot-deep communication trench is dug, making it easy to support each other.
Of course, the 60,000 Jin army ignored this large formation and passed around the formation from both sides.
But this will put his back under the threat of the Han army all the time, and even the Jin army generals with some brains cannot ignore it.
After Wanyan Zongxian arrived, he observed such a scene.
Without thinking, he ordered 10,000 troops to attack one of the fortresses.
The Jin soldiers relied on their large numbers, and under the intimidation of the Jurchens who supervised the battle, layers of Jin soldiers surged toward the Han army's position from three sides like a tide.
With the constant banging of gunfire and the crackling of thunderbolts, the first wave of attacks was easily crushed in the face of the powerful firepower of the Han army.

In fact, if the Jin soldiers had the same morale as the Han army, it would be possible to overwhelm the Han army's formation.
Because among the nearly a thousand musketeers in this sub-formation, all the ammunition for the seven muskets was used up.
The last dozen Jin soldiers who rushed to the front of the Han army were stabbed to death by the spears of the spearmen.
At this critical moment, the Jin soldiers who besieged the Han army's formation suddenly retreated from front to back, spreading their legs and running backwards.
Even the Jurchen swordsman and axe-hand who was supervising the battle was almost knocked down by the crowd.
Judging from the composition of the Jin soldiers, 80% of them were draft soldiers captured in the style of catching strong men.
This result is not surprising.
The method of killing and intimidating can only allow the forced soldiers to be driven forward to kill when one's own side has a clear advantage.
When one's own side is obviously disadvantaged in some aspect, this effect will be reversed, and the army will easily collapse.
Wanyan Zongxian, who was watching the battle from the rear, was furious and ordered that all the Jin soldiers who fled without permission should be executed.
His generals quickly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, no, it's time for us to use our troops.
How can we kill thousands of generals at this time?
Even if it doesn't cause a mutiny, it will greatly damage the strength of our army." " Wanyan Zongxian snorted coldly and said, "Then strike with ten strokes and one chop."
The so-called "ten draws and one beheading" means drawing lots of life and death from these soldiers at a ratio of one-tenth.
Those who draw the death lots will be beheaded in public.
Amidst the wailing and crying for mercy and injustice, the three to four hundred soldiers who were drawn to die were beheaded in front of the formation in front of many golden soldiers.
Stacked in a hill-like shape on the side.
Wanyan Zongxian smiled ferociously and shouted loudly: "You Han slaves and Khitan bastards, please watch out.
If you are too timid to defeat the former, this is what will happen."
After Wanyan Zongxian finished doing this, more than half an hour passed.
The Jin soldiers once again gathered heavy troops to attack a camp.
This time the Han army's firepower became more intense, because the camps on both sides also opened fire in support.
When the Han army's ammunition was mostly consumed, the attacking Jin soldiers could no longer hold up and retreated again.
This time even the Jurchen infantry and cavalry such as the Kaizima and Tiefutu also joined the retreat.
As time passed by, Wanyan Zongxian became furious, and he wanted to practice the military method of killing one out of ten.
Suddenly, he was furious and found that the faces of the soldiers, commanders, centurions, and Han ginseng generals around him all had expressions of fear.
In my ears, I vaguely heard a loud war song sung by thousands of people.
One deep horn after another echoed across the sky.
Wanyan Zongxian squinted and looked into the distance.
There were flags on the skyline, and underneath there were dense figures of people, cars, shields, and a forest of guns.
With his mouth wide open in shock, he didn't notice that the Jin soldiers retreated like the ebbing sea water, from slow to fast, and finally fled in a galloping force.
At the same time, Yue Fei was also observing this side with his telescope.
After he discovered that the Jin soldiers were fleeing backwards in disorder, he reined in his mount and calmly ordered: "Pass my military order, all winged cavalry and Beiwei cavalry will pursue the fleeing Jin soldiers at full speed.
They must be completely dispersed
