    Qiao Zhongkui knew that Zheng Yanqing had come a long way and his soldiers were tired, so he immediately led his troops to attack Zheng Yanqing's troops. Zheng Yanqing did not get involved with the rebels, but took the opportunity to retreat and camp in the mountains.

    Qiao Zhongkui attacked Zheng Yanqing's troops on the mountain twice, but both failed.  However, Qiao Zhongkui discovered through observation that Zheng Yanqing could mobilize only more than 10,000 troops and was not very strong. He was determined and decided to eliminate Zheng Yanqing's reinforcements first and then attack Daizhou.

    After Zheng Yanqing set up camp, he dug deep trenches and resolutely avoided fighting.  Qiao Zhongkui concentrated his troops to attack fiercely several times, but was blocked by turns of bows and arrows.  The two sides were in a stalemate, and there was nothing they could do about each other.

    Zheng Yanqing used the fighting between the two sides to set fire on the mountain to signal the arrival of reinforcements from Li Jing and others in Daizhou City, which greatly boosted the morale in Daizhou City.

    The Sui troops on both sides were determined to avoid the battle, like hedgehogs, but they had no choice but to do so.  Qiao Zhongkui had no choice but to order his subordinate Wang Ba to raid Zheng Yanqing's military camp every day.

    Qiao Zhongkui's lieutenant general Wang Ba was two feet tall. He was as brave as any man. He was invincible and unstoppable.  In daily battles, Wang Ba often led a few cavalry to charge into battle, and he was especially good at using the big spear.  He yelled and cursed in front of the camp gate every day, and the Fengzhou army shot at him but missed. Whenever the Fengzhou army failed to prepare in time, Wang Ba would shoot the Fengzhou army in the camp.

    Although Zheng Yanqing wanted to show weakness deliberately, if Wang Ba was allowed to be arrogant here every day, it would definitely severely damage the morale of the Sui army.  Therefore, Zheng Yanqing decided to take the initiative and kill Wang Ba, so as to severely dampen Qiao Zhongkui's spirit.

    Among the generals, there are not many who can fight with Wang Ba.  If there were several invincible generals in the army such as Huang Mingliao, Xiong Kuohai, Yang Yiyan, etc., they would not be afraid of the king taking out one of them, but at this time, there are not many generals in the army who can fight.

    At this time, Yang Sien, the cavalry general of the Yulin Hsiao Prefecture, asked for a battle.

    Since the battle of surrendering the city, Yang Sien has still been on bad terms with most of the generals of the Fengzhou faction, but he has been accepted by everyone.

    Yang Sien is withdrawn and has few friends in Fengzhou. He can only talk to a few people such as Zheng Yanqing and Chen Yi on weekdays.  However, he was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, consciously not thinking that he was losing to others.

    During the Northern Expedition, Yang Sien also competed with Wang Ba. Although he could not be said to be stronger than the opponent, he was not weak either.  In this battle, Yang Sien is confident that his strength is better than before, so he is also full of confidence.

    Zheng Yanqing was also surprised when he saw Yang Sien taking the initiative to ask for a fight. In the past, Yang Sien was not so active.  However, seeing his repeated requests and the fact that there were very few in the army who were better than Yang Sien, he had no choice but to agree and give him a cavalry to go into battle.

    Yang Sien stood up straight with his spear, and Zheng Yanqing gave him a drink to cheer him up.  Yang Sien saw Wang Ba standing behind the formation from a distance. After drinking the wine in one gulp, he threw the dendrobium on the ground and rode towards the enemy.  When everyone behind the formation saw his majestic appearance, they all praised him: "What a brave man!"

    Yang Sien stepped forward with his spear, charging back and forth to kill, and he was invincible.  However, Wang Ba is also brave, and his cavalry is the most elite team under Qiao Zhongkui's command.

    The two sides fought for several rounds, and Yang Sien fought desperately twice, but Wang Ba's army formation was not completely broken up.  Yang Sien was furious and led more than a dozen riders to rush towards Wang Ba.  Along the way, all the rebels of the Han Dynasty were unstoppable. Yang Sien rushed forward, killing several rebels, and rushed to Wang Ba's banner.

    Seeing Wang Ba in front of the formation, Yang Sien raised his spear and stabbed him. Both sides were going back and forth, neither giving in to the other.

    At this time, the two sides were competing, and Yang Sien's horse suddenly stumbled, knocking Yang Sien off the horse.  Yang Sien was caught off guard and was thrown two feet away by the war horse, and the spear in his hand also fell out of his hands.

    Wang Ba was overjoyed when he saw this. He came up with a spear and hit Yang Sien in the chest.

    The cavalry behind Yang Sien stepped forward desperately to kill the rebels, and then rescued Yang Sien.

    At this time, Yang Sien was covered in blood and was dying. When he was sent back to the camp, he was speechless. He held Zheng Yanqing's hand hard and died suddenly.

    Zheng Yanqing was distraught and cried loudly. Recalling Yang Sien's past rescue of Fengzhou, all the three armies shed tears.

    ???????????? Wang Ba killed Yang Sien, and then led the rebels of the Han Dynasty to advance on the victory, and the whole army attacked.  The Fengzhou army was defeated and retreated for more than ten miles.

    Qiao Zhongkui was even more happy to see Wang Ba defeat Zheng Yanqing, but he no longer regarded Zheng Yanqing as his enemy.

    Jingzhao, who was sent by Mo Bi that day, did not surrender. Qiao Zhongkui saw the victory and was determined, so he released him and appointed him as Sima of the Daizhou Governor's Office, but Jingzhao refused.

    Seeing that Jing Zhao was so ignorant of promotion, Qiao Zhongkui felt angry and said, "It's fine if you accept the official post, otherwise I'll be beheaded!"

    Jingzhao was unmoved and said righteously: "Zhao An was the county magistrate and encountered rebellion.If you can't protect your territory, you can't retreat to death, and you've already suffered too many humiliations, why should you continue to use fake officials to force you?  Life and death are matters of fate, and I am not aware of them.  "

    Qiao Zhongkui was furious, pointed at Jingzhao and said, "You are not afraid of death?" He wanted to kill Jingzhao.  Jingzhao had a good reputation in Hedong, but Qiao Zhongkui dissuaded everyone.

    There was Tao Miao in front of him and Jing Zhao behind him, both of whom would rather die than follow the rebellion.  After Qiao Zhongkui calmed down, he felt deeply about the loyalty of officials from all over the country to the imperial court. It was so difficult for a small Daizhou to leave, let alone Guanzhong, so he became deeply worried about this military uprising.

    The next afternoon, Zheng Yanqing, who had retreated, came to invite a fight again, and the two sides fought another fierce battle.  In the evening, the fighting still didn't stop. At this time, behind Zheng Yanqing's formation, the war drums were loud and the dust was thick. Qiao Zhongkui's army didn't know what was going on. They thought it was an ambush and immediately panicked.

    It turns out that Zheng Yanqing deliberately lured Qiao Zhongkui into a decisive battle. He knew that he had few troops, so he cleared out all the cattle and donkeys in the army. There were thousands of cattle, donkeys, and mules.  Zheng Yanqing ordered hundreds of soldiers, each holding a drum, to secretly drive the cattle and donkeys into the valley to catch them by surprise.

    As expected, Qiao Zhongkui fell into the trap, and a commotion broke out in the army. Zheng Yanqing led his troops to attack fiercely, and Qiao Zhongkui was beaten back again and again.  At this time, behind Qiao Zhongkui, an army took advantage of Qiao Zhongkui's unpreparedness, crossed the high mountains, and had already reached behind Qiao Zhongkui's army. It was another Fengzhou army led by Cai Zhiyun and Gao Zhen.  They walked from Yanmen Pass along the ravine to the east of Yanmen City. When Zheng Yanqing and Qiao Zhongkui were fighting, they suddenly rushed out and killed the other party by surprise.

    Qiao Zhongkui's rear army was ambushed, and the front army was overwhelmed by the Sui army. They were blocked in front and behind and could not advance or retreat.  Everyone had no idea how many Sui troops there were, and they were even more frightened.

    Qiao Zhongkui ordered the army to retreat, and ordered Wang Ba to lead the elite cavalry to break the formation.

    Cai Zhiyun sent forward crossbowmen to guard the mouth of the valley and shot the rebels.  Wang Ba charged several times but failed. The deserters behind him repeatedly attacked the rear formation, and the army was in chaos.

    Wang Ba was a fierce general, but he was threatened by the rebel army in the army. He went all the way south and was finally shot and killed by the rebel army.

    Seeing that the army was defeated, Qiao Zhongkui led the remaining troops to barely break through the Sui army's obstruction and headed south.  The army fled southward along the Hutuo River for a night, but was stopped by the cavalry led by Gao Zhen.  At this time, most of Qiao Zhongkui lost contact and fled in all directions. There were only more than a thousand people around him, and they were all exhausted.  The two sides fought for a whole morning, and everyone on the left and right of Qiao Zhongkui died. Qiao Zhongkui was desperate and could not escape, but did not want to be Gao Zhen's prisoner, so he committed suicide.

    Waiting until dawn, Zheng Yanqing gathered the rebels of the Han Dynasty and wiped out Qiao Zhongkui's troops, and the siege of Daizhou was finally solved.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
