日暮，轉至州廨，長短兵皆盡，彥卿猶取繩床搏戰，及兵馬都監鄭昭業等千餘人皆死之，無一人生降者。 At dusk the fighting moved to the prefectural yamen. Long and short weapons were spent, yet Yanqing still seized a rope bed and fought on. Cavalry-and-infantry inspector Zheng Zhaoye and more than a thousand others died with him; not one surrendered alive.
