十二月，北兵濟自漢江，兩省軍入鄧州，議敵所從出，謂由光化截江戰為便，放之渡而戰為便、張惠以「截江為便，縱之渡，我腹空虛，能不為所潰乎？」 In the twelfth month the northern army crossed the Han River; both branch secretariats entered Deng Prefecture and debated how to meet the enemy; some favored intercepting them at Guanghua on the river, others favored letting them cross and then fighting; Zhang Hui argued: "Intercept at the river—if we let them cross, our rear is empty; how can we avoid being routed?"
癸未，大軍發鄧州，趨京師，騎二萬，步十三萬，騎帥蒲察定住，蒲察答吉卜，郎將按忒木，忠孝軍總領夾穀愛答、內族達魯歡，總領夾穀移特剌，提控步軍臨淄郡王張惠，殄寇都尉完顏阿排、高英、樊澤，中軍陳和尚，與恆山公武仙、楊沃衍軍合。 On the guiwei day the great army set out from Deng Prefecture for the capital: twenty thousand cavalry and one hundred thirty thousand infantry; cavalry under Pucha Dingzhu, Pucha Dajibu, and commandant Andemu; Zhongxiao Army under overall leaders Jiagu Aida and imperial clansman Daluhuan; overall leader Jiagu Yitelie; infantry under army controller Linzi Prince Zhang Hui; extermination bandit commandants Wanyan Apai, Gao Ying, and Fan Ze; center army under Chen Heshang—joined with Duke of Hengshan Wuxian and Yang Woyan's forces.
武仙率三十騎入竹林中，楊、樊、張三軍爭路，北兵圍之數重，及高英殘兵共戰于柿林村南，沃衍、澤、英皆死，惟張惠步持大槍奮戰而歿。 Wuxian led thirty horsemen into the bamboo grove; the armies of Yang, Fan, and Zhang fought over the road as the northern army surrounded them in layer after layer; together with Gao Ying's remnant troops they fought south of Shilin Village; Woyan, Ze, and Ying all fell; only Zhang Hui, on foot with a great spear in hand, fought to the death.
