On the same day the Han army entered Bozhou City.
After receiving the military order issued by Wanyan Wushu a few days ago, Pizhou's 100,000 gold soldiers began to march towards Chuzhou.
One hundred thousand golden soldiers built ten pontoon bridges on the Huaihe River and rushed towards Chuzhou south of the Huaihe River.
When they were halfway through the crossing, the Han army suddenly launched a counterattack.
The two thousand Han army guards, composed of musketeers, pikemen, winged cavalry, and plate armored heavy cavalry, served as the vanguard and cut ten groups of golden soldiers into pieces one by one from east to west.
The 20,000 Huainan Han Army Internal Affairs Troops following behind swept towards these lost Jin soldiers like wind and clouds.
Among these 100,000 gold soldiers, only 5,000 or 6,000 were Jurchen soldiers, and more than 10,000 were Bohai and Khitan soldiers.
The rest are all surrendered troops of the former Northern Song Dynasty and signed troops of the Han people who were forcibly recruited.
The five or six thousand Jurchen soldiers were not gathered together, but were assigned to various ministries for the purpose of supervising the army.
Therefore, their combat effectiveness may not be even one-fifth of the one hundred thousand golden soldiers led by Wanyan Wushu.
At the head of a pontoon bridge, a Jurchen captain led more than a hundred personal guards, waving long swords and killing the fleeing Han soldiers, trying to restore the defeat.
The area near the bridge was filled with corpses and heads.
Suddenly, they found that the "deserters" had stopped, separated to both sides, and squatted down in groups.
Before these Jurchen soldiers knew what was going on, a group of about a hundred Han army musketeers had already rushed in front of them, followed by more than fifty heavy horsemen with plate armor.
The captain of the Golden Army raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill the Han dog".
Then he rushed towards these Han soldiers.
The latter held up a three-eye match rope and a blunderbuss.
With a bang and a bang, the smoke filled the air, and more than a hundred golden soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The captain's head was hit by five or six blunderbuss at the same time.
The brain is gone.
As a result of the Battle of Chuzhou, 70,000 Jin soldiers were captured, more than 20,000 soldiers were killed, and less than 10,000 soldiers fled.
Both sides of the Huai River are littered with corpses of Jin soldiers, and the water of the Huai River is full of floating corpses.
The victorious Han army took advantage of the momentum to cross the Huai River and occupied Pizhou with lightning speed.
The only regret in this battle is that the leader of the Jin army, Wan Yanliang, escaped.
Wusheng Pass, located in Suizhou, is the most important pass among the three passes in Yiyang.
It guards the pass of the Dabie Mountains that connects the Runan Plain and the Jianghan Plain.
Now Niu Gao led 8,000 Han troops to defend Wusheng Pass, holding back 100,000 Jin soldiers for more than half a month.
Wanyan Yong, who led the army, could not attack for a long time.
Under the muskets and arrows of the Han army, the Jin soldiers suffered numerous casualties.
He selected 8,000 Jurchen elites from 100,000 gold soldiers, and under the guidance of several local guides who were bribed with a lot of money, he tried to go around the mountain path to Wusheng Pass for a sneak attack.
Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Niu Gao.
In the valleys of the Dabie Mountains, the sound of muskets and arrows were heard one after another.
Eight thousand elite Jurchen soldiers were killed inexplicably by random guns and arrows, and no one was spared.
These eight thousand Jurchen elites accounted for most of the Jurchen soldiers in the one hundred thousand army.
Although Wan Yanyong strictly blocked the news, the news of their entire army's annihilation soon spread throughout the Jin Army camp.
The morale of the remaining 90,000 Jin troops was suddenly shaken, and incidents of desertion occurred one after another.
Just when Wan Yanyong was considering whether to withdraw his troops, the Han army took the initiative and attacked the Jin army's camp at night.
That night, Wanyanyong was sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by several huge roaring sounds.
The Han army stormed the Jin army's camp at night.
Under the cover of night, they took advantage of the lax morale of the Jin army's soldiers, bypassed these clear and hidden sentries, sneaked to the edge of the Jin army's camp, and threw thunderbolts inside and outside the gate of the camp. .
Soon the village gate was blown apart.
Amidst the commotion in the village, twenty strong men of the Han army carried huge trees and rushed towards the gate of the village under the cover of crossbowmen and musketeers.
With a bang, the village door was knocked open.
Thousands of Han troops who had been waiting behind them swarmed in on foot and cavalry.
There were sounds of killing, musketry, and thunderous explosions inside and outside the camp.

Three golden soldiers thrust their spears at a Han soldier.
The Han soldier shot the leader-like figure in the chest.
The golden soldier seemed to have been pushed.
He took three steps back and then fell to the ground. , blood gurgled out from the armor on his chest.
Then, with two pops, the other two spear blades penetrated the musketeer's body.
There was another gunshot, and a golden soldier holding a spear fell to the ground after his head was smashed.
After the musketeer fired the shot, he picked up the thick eight-edged gun barrel and threw it at the last golden soldier spearman.
The latter was unable to dodge, and the Tianling Cap was cracked by the heavy gun barrel.
Collapsed to the ground.
Finally, he put the musket on his back, picked up the spear that fell on the ground, and went into battle again.
Fires rose one after another in the Jinjun camp, and finally became one.
Under the brave attack of Niu Gao's old Yue family army, the Jin soldiers only lasted for a few minutes with weak resistance before blowing up the camp.
People fled out of the camp like a tide.
Seeing that he could not control the situation, Wan Yanyong fled with more than a hundred personal guards through the mountain road at the back gate of the camp.
Along the way, the route was blocked by crowded defeated soldiers.
Wanyanyong ordered his personal guards to kill these defeated soldiers to clear the way.
On the mountain road, the Jin soldiers fled like a frightened giant python, and soon came the sound of intensive musketry from behind.
The crisp and loud sound of this kind of musket has been imprinted in Jin Bing's mind.
Driven by this sound, Jin Bing rushed to run faster, and finally had a serious stampede accident on the crowded mountain road.
Many of the Han soldiers who were chasing behind were holding fire crackers in their hands and large firecrackers in the other hand, and they kept setting off Wan Yanyong fled back to Xinyang in one breath, calmed down, and sent out his troops to collect the defeated troops.
It took three days in a row to recover more than 30,000 defeated troops.
It is not difficult to imagine this result.
If the signed soldiers who were captured like young men were not far away from home and could not easily return home, who would not take advantage of this time to escape.
At this moment, Wanyan Yong heard another bad news: Wanyan Wushu was defeated in Bozhou, and his life and death were unknown.
Moreover, the Han army of more than 10,000 people was heading toward Xinyang.
Obviously, staying in Xinyang is just a matter of sitting back and waiting for death.
He made a prompt decision and led the remaining defeated soldiers to retreat towards Bianliang.
Now the entire Huanghuai Jin soldiers had lost their unified dispatch.
Only by going to Nanjing Bianliang could they join up with other Jin soldiers, and only there could they join forces with them.
Ginting reestablished contact.
Just when Wanyan Yongzheng was retreating to Bianliang, Yue Fei's 5,000 Guards troops were already approaching Bianliang City like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Lu Yanlun, who was left in Nanjing in the Kingdom of Jin, was shocked when he heard that Yue Fei's troops had arrived at the city.
He had only received the news of Wanyan Wushu's defeat at Wushui the afternoon before.
It had only been half a day before the Han army had already arrived at the city.
How could he not be frightened.
He hurriedly climbed up to the tower of Bianliang City and looked down.
Five thousand Han troops lined up in five neat square formations 200 steps outside the city.
In the middle, a brightly armored general galloped out of the formation
