Many soldiers were in such a great panic that they waited for opportunities to run away. Standingon the city wall of the Shouchun City, Fu Jian and his brother Fu Rong saw that the ranks of the Jin army were in good order and that the morale of the Jin army was high. Turning to his brother, Fu Jian said, "What a powerful enemy this is! Why did people say that the Jin army was short of men?" He deeply regretted that he had taken the enemy too lightly.

Overshadowed by the disastrousdefeat, Fu Jian ordered his troops to be deployedin battle formation on the north side of the Feishui River, in an attempt to regainthe initiative by relying on the superior geographicalconditions. Then Xie Shi and Xie Xuan, the senior generals of the Jin army, suggested that Fu Jian's army retreat a little bit, leaving some space, so that the Jin army could cross the river to conduct ooperations. Fu Jian thought that his chance had come, believing that the senior generals of the Jin army did not have the elementary knowledge of warfarerouted and could by no means（决不） be controlled. Taking advantage of this favorable situation, the Jin army crossed the river, pursuing and attacking the enemy. The trooops of Fu Jian's army threw away everything in headlong flight, and the field was littered with the corpsesof the soldiers of Fu Jian's army. Fu Rong was killed in the tangled（紊乱的） fighting, and Fu Jian was hit by an  arrow and ran away. The Jin army won a brilliant victory by defeating a big army with its limited armed forces.
