Just when Ma Mingfeng was actively carrying out a major migration, Wang Qiaonian, who had been appointed as the governor of the three borders of Shaanxi, was urged by Emperor Chongzhen to go to war many times, and his words became increasingly harsh.

Wang Qiaonian felt very bitter in his heart. He knew that even Fu Zonglong was no match for the trespassing army, so his strength was even less than enough. Even if he was too reluctant to defend Tongguan, he had to obey because he knew that the emperor was very angry and the consequences were very serious.

But at this moment, an official under his command gave him an idea, which made him very moved. The idea was: "The reason why the thief is so arrogant is probably the problem of his family's ancestral tomb. As long as we dig his ancestral tomb and destroy the feng shui of his ancestral tomb, the thief's luck will naturally disappear. At that time, the thief will have to fail."

Wang Qiaonian felt that something was reasonable, so he immediately led two thousand cavalry to Li Zicheng's hometown, Mizhi County, to find Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb, dug it out, burned Li Zicheng's ancestral bones, and destroyed the Feng Shui on the tomb according to the advice of Mr. Feng Shui.

There are a total of sixteen tombs in Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb. Wang Qiaonian spent a lot of effort to finally find this place. He successfully dug the sixteen tombs, and all the corpses in the tomb were burned.

In order to further attack Li Zicheng's morale and force Li Zicheng to take the initiative to attack, Wang Qiaonian also deliberately fabricated a legend.

According to Mr. Feng Shui, Li's tomb was designated by immortals, and there is an iron lamp stand inside. As long as the iron lamp does not go out, Li will continue to flourish.

After Wang Qiaonian dug up the tomb of his own ancestors as said by Mr. Feng Shui, he found that there were mole crickets and ants with a few stones inside, and the fire was shining.

When I smashed the coffin, I found that the corpse inside was blue-black, covered with yellow hair, there was a hole the size of a copper coin behind my head, and a red snake was coiled at the entrance of the hole. The snake was three or four inches long, with horns, and could fly. It opened its mouth and spit out six or seven white lights, and then flew back and landed behind my head.

Wang Qiaonian ordered the Red Snake to kill him, and then burned the corpse with a fire, completely destroying Li's Feng Shui.

Wang Qiaonian spread this legend everywhere and soon reached Li Zicheng's ears.

At that time, Li Zicheng was about to attack Xiangyang, but suddenly heard that Wang Qiaonian had dug his family's ancestral grave and the magical legend. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and vowed to kill Wang Qiaonian. Then, despite dissuasion, he led an army of 100,000 to attack Tongguan.

Wang Qiaonian calculated that Li Zicheng would definitely come to attack, so he was prepared and sent three generals, He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong and Niu Chenghu, to ambush in Shou Township east of Tongguan. Wang Qiaonian personally led the soldiers of the central army to resist head-on. After Li Zicheng's army arrived, the three generals led their troops to attack behind him. In this way, Li Zicheng was attacked from both sides and his own chances of victory were still quite good.

In fact, Wang Qiaonian had received an order to kill He Renlong before, but he felt that the Shaanxi soldiers were weak and He Renlong was also a powerful general. Now it was time to use people, and killing the general in a formation was not good for him, so he did not accept the order and ordered him to still command his old subordinates and stay in the tent to obey the orders.

Wang Qiaonian's plan was pretty good, but now the strength gap between the two sides is huge. Even if everything is perfectly done according to his plan, it will be difficult to defeat this battle. What's more, these three generals did not intend to fight to the death. When Li Zicheng led his army and launched an attack, the three generals who were originally going to encircle with Wang Qiaonian as planned actually fled without fighting.

In this way, the 10,000 army led by Wang Qiaonian alone fought against Li Zicheng's 100,000 army. The result was naturally no suspense. Wang Qiaonian's army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

After hearing the news that the three generals fled without fighting, Wang Qiaonian said nothing, and finally sighed to the sky: Unexpectedly, this place became my grave. I, Wang Qiaonian, died. It’s a pity that there are only a few thousand weak brigades in Tongguan now, and it’s simply an empty city.”

Then Wang Qiaonian ordered the soldiers to retreat to Shou Township and led more than 3,000 soldiers with combat capabilities to defend with the city defense.

Shou Township is close to Tongguan and is the gateway to Tongguan. Previously, since Li Zicheng led his army to easily arrive under Tongguan, Wang Qiaonian ordered the city wall to be renovated and strengthened the city defense after serving as the governor of the three sides. Unexpectedly, it actually played a role at this time.

While Wang Qiaonian stood firm in Shou Township, he sent someone to break through and went to find Zuo Liangyu who was still in Xiangyang and Ma Mingfeng who was in Kaifeng for help.

However, on the next day, Li Zicheng saw that it was difficult to capture Xiashou Township, so he ordered people to dig tunnels to fill gunpowder to attack the city.

Li Zicheng's digging of tunnels was carried out in secret, but he didn't expect that he would not hide it from Wang Qiaonian. So Wang Qiaonian also digged holes to watch the tunnels dug by the Investigation Army. When he found that the soldiers of the Investigation Army were ordered to use a spear to assassinate the Investigation Army through the hole.

After the failure of the rebel army, they were not discouraged. They then ordered the use of cannons to bombard Qiao Nian's flag. These cannons were the means by which Li Zicheng relied on to attack the city. They were very powerful. In addition, the strength of the city wall was incomparable to Kaifeng. Soon the city wall was hit hard, and even the bunker on the city wall was broken, and the situation became dangerous instantly.

Wang Qiaonian's generals surrounded him and begged him to escape to Tongguan. However, Wang Qiaonian knew that even if he fled to Tongguan, he would not be able to avoid the end of Tongguan's fall. What's more, the enemy's siege of the city on all sides, and it would be difficult to break through.

So Wang Qiaonian was very angry and kicked the generals and officials in the head and said, "You are afraid of death, but I am not afraid. I would rather die here than escape!"

Wang Qiaonian led his army to fight to the death, but after all, the strength of the enemy and us was very different. Before sunset that day, the city was captured.

Seeing the flags at the top of the city, Wang Qiaonian knew that he would die, but he was not afraid at all. He waved the sword in his hand, killed three rebel soldiers and then committed suicide by dying with his sword.

However, just as he was about to show his ambition with death, a general of the rebel army came over, took off his sword, and captured him alive.

Seeing that Wang Qiaonian was so strong, Li Zicheng immediately became loving talents. At the same time, in order to attack the Ming Dynasty, he took the initiative to recruit Wang Qiaonian and persuade him to surrender.

Li Zifeng thought that he would not be embarrassed and spared his life. Wang Qiaonian would be grateful and submit to him on the spot. However, Wang Qiaonian's eyes widened and cursed endlessly, and had no intention of surrendering.

Wang Qiaonian is now determined to die, so he scolded Li Zicheng very badly. His wife ran away with others, Li Zicheng was ambitious and did bad things, unjustly killing Luo Rucai, and also said that Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb was dug up and his kingly spirit was cut off. Although he seemed to be full of energy now, he would definitely die soon, etc.

Li Zicheng was scolded that one Buddha was born, and the two Buddhas ascended to heaven. In anger, he ordered people to cut off Wang Qiaonian's tongue.

However, Wang Qiaonian still did not surrender, and he was bleeding from his mouth, and continued to scold Li Zicheng in ambiguous manner.
