Gan Ning sets fire to Cao Cao’s provisions on land. Xu Chu at first takes up the fight with Gan Ning, but then beats a retreat, preferring to join the naval army and rescue Cao Cao, whom he encounters on his way. Now both the camp on land and the one on water have been set on fire. Cao Cao orders his troops to retreat. On their way they run into Commander Taishi Ci, and as a result, Cao Cao’s two generals, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi, lose their lives. Then Cao Cao bumps into Sun Quan. In the end he has no choice but to flee over the Black Forest Iron Mountain. When they arrive at Yiling Mountain, Cao Cao starts to laugh loudly, and claims that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang only can get eight out of ten points in terms of intelligence. He has hardly finished speaking, when the sound of cannon is heard, and Zhao Yun’s troops appear from their hiding. Cao Cao suffers a major defeat and flees.
