Wang Zhongxiao was from Fengtian. Serving as vice general, he won repeated distinction and rose to acting Left Wing commander-in-chief. He followed General Caita into Yunnan as vanguard. At Xilong and Guangxi County, Zhongxiao and guerrilla Lin Gui led dozens of picked men over the ridge in a swift downhill charge that routed the rebels. At Shimenkan the main force displayed banners and sounded horns upstream while Zhongxiao and Gui forded the water, took a hidden path, and stormed the enemy camp from the rear. At Huangcaoba he and Gui lured the enemy into a valley; ambushers rose and struck from both sides, killing a rebel vice general. Once the pass fell, the army closed on the Yunnan capital. Guobing sallied forth; Zhongxiao fell in the same battle as Chengye and Tingye and was posthumously made Vice Commissioner-in-Chief.

廷燏，廣東南海人。 桂，廣東番禺人。 忠孝既戰沒，桂佐賚塔定雲南，代為左翼總兵官。
Tingye was from Nanhai in Guangdong. Gui was from Panyu in Guangdong. After Zhongxiao's death, Gui helped Caita pacify Yunnan and succeeded him as Left Wing commander-in-chief.

=【論】=論曰：吳三桂白首舉事，號善用兵。 屯松滋數年，不敢渡江攻荊州。 晚欲通贛、粵道，宜理布、哈克三以死拒，然終不得達，安在其為善用兵也？ 阿爾護輩殺敵致果，授命疆埸。 承業戰沒雲南城下，悍敵致死，誠有不易當者。 故比而論之，亦以見戡定始末。 他死事者，語別見忠義傳，不能遍著也。
The commentators say: Wu Sangui took up arms in old age and was reputed a master of war. He held Songzi for years yet never dared cross the Yangzi to strike Jingzhou. Late in the war he tried to open a route through Jiangxi and Guangdong, but Yi Li Bu and Hake San blocked him at the cost of their lives, and he never broke through—what skill in war was that? Men like A Er Hu killed the enemy with effect and gave their lives on the frontier. Chengye died below the walls of Yunnan; the foe he faced was truly formidable. Comparing these lives together thus sketches how the rebellion was finally put down. Other officers who died in service are recorded in the Biographies of Loyal Martyrs and cannot all be listed here.
