Just had an "Oh S***" moment: Yhwach can't use his full powers because he still has Yamamoto's Bankai (Overkill still had Chojiro's even though he died, so death is no excuse). And Zanka no Tachi can revive the dead as flaming skeletons. What if Yhwach can do that with everybody his soul "tagged" in the epic battle his soldiers are fighting?
