The east, south and west of the Black Pine Forest caught fire almost at the same time. The fire burned rapidly and the surging flames were swept towards the middle of the Black Pine Forest by the wind. The red flames flew into the sky, spitting a terrible tongue of flames. The surroundings were filled with red red, swallowing everything in the pine forest. The pine resin helped burn and made a snap sound. The trees kept falling down, and bursts of harsh thunder sounds came.

The 20,000 Cao troops in the Black Pine Forest were already in chaos, rushing toward the north without fire.

"It's the turbulent oil of Jiangxia Army"

The pungent smoke drifted over the wind, and Cao's soldiers were so scared that they were scattered. Someone was shouting miserably: "We are going to be burned to death."

Screaming in fear, cursing when escaping, screaming when trampling, crying, Cao's soldiers were already in chaos, trampling on each other, and the ground was covered with weapons, armor and rice bags. At this time, no one carries more than fifty pounds of weight.

"Calm down and not be confused"

Zhu Ling waved his sword and shouted loudly, and cut several people in a row, but it was useless. At this time, no soldiers could listen to his orders. At this time, several personal soldiers rushed over and shouted: "General, there are Jiangxia troops outside the woods, so you can't go out."

Zhu Ling turned around and looked around. The south, west and east sides were surrounded by fires. The fire became bigger and bigger. He suddenly found a gap in the southwest. Before the fire was closed, Zhu Ling did not hesitate and turned over and ran towards the southwest.

The fire was burning around him, and even the war horses became crazy. They rushed towards the only gap southwest against the scorching heat waves. Many soldiers behind him were also running towards the gap, but the fire spread rapidly. When Zhu Ling's war horse had just rushed out of the gap, several big trees burning with fire fell down, and screams sounded from behind.

Zhu Ling stopped his horse and looked back, and saw that the gap had been blocked by the fire. Dozens of soldiers were struggling in the fire, and there were several of his personal soldiers in the middle. He couldn't help feeling sad.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Zhu Ling, and a spear was like a poisonous snake, silently stabbing towards his back. Zhu Ling was turning his head to check the fire, but he didn't know there was a sneak attack behind him. He suddenly reacted and turned around, but saw Ma Yan's hideous and hatred eyes.

The puff spear pierced his body, and the tip of the spear came out from his chest.

"Go to die." Ma Yan roared and pulled Zhu Ling off the horse. Zhu Ling screamed and died tragically under the spear on the spot.

.........

Just as the fire was burning, Huang Zhong led 10,000 troops to wait in the official road and in the woods in the north for a long time. Huang Zhong immediately stood in the woods with a big knife in his hand, looking coldly at the soldiers of Cao's army running out, with a sneer as if expected at the corner of his mouth.

Huang Zhong has decades of military experience. He knew that in this cold and bone-broken late autumn, when soldiers were wet by the rain, no one would sleep with armor, and would definitely take off their armor, and their cold weapons would be thrown aside. In this case, as long as serious chaos is created, the soldiers would run away in chaos, and they would not have time to wear armor and helmets. They would escape from the pine forest and could only surrender.

The best way to create chaos is to set fire, using the power of tinder oil to make the fire burn rapidly as fast as possible. However, Huang Zhong did not expect that the fire would spread so violently that more than a thousand people in the south could not run out and were engulfed by the fire.

At this time, Huang Zhong saw a large number of Cao army soldiers escaping from the pine forest. The time was ripe. Huang Zhong shouted loudly: "Around Cao army, those who surrender can be spared, and those who resist can be killed without mercy."

"Dongdongdongdongdong" sounded, and ten thousand Jiangxia troops surrounded them from one direction. In the dark night, swords and guns were like forests, and soldiers in armor lined up into human walls, surrounding them, blocking the escape of Cao's soldiers. They either kneel down to surrender, or break through to the death, or return to the pine forest like a fire hell.

Most of the Cao army were only wearing single clothes, barefoot, no armor, and no weapons. Under the murderous threat of the Jiangxia army, they had no choice but to kneel down and surrender. The dark Cao army soldiers knelt all over the ground.

But Huang Zhong did not find the enemy general, which made him a little strange. At this moment, dozens of soldiers brought a Cao army general. The Cao army general limped away, carrying a bloody head in his hand.

The general of Cao's army knelt down in front of Huang Zhong's horse and said, "The last general Ma Yan was originally the deputy general of Cao's army, but Zhu Linggong took revenge and defeated the general Mo Zheng seriously. Now I have killed this person and am willing to surrender to the Jiangxia army."

Huang Zhong recognized the head at first sight as Zhu Ling, the chief general of Cao's army. He was overjoyed and turned over and dismounted to help Ma Yan up. "General Ma abandoned the secret and turned to the light, which is a real man. Welcome General Ma to join the Jiangxia Army."

.........

At the beginning of the day, Cao Cao's camp was silent, and 200,000 Cao's soldiers were sleeping soundly. More than a dozen thousand-stone warships were quietly moored in the artificial canal in the middle of the camp, and their huge figures seemed to stand in a rolling mountain in the military camp.

However, Cao Cao's central army tent was still brightly lit, and several military doctors were nervously reporting to Cao Cao about the development of the epidemic. In just five days, the number of sick soldiers soared from more than a dozen to more than 4,000. Even the general Zhang Liao fell ill and died nearly four people. Moreover, the epidemic was a cross-battalion development, which means that the epidemic began to get out of control.

Cao Cao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking furious. He suddenly turned around and scolded: "You guys told me that the epidemic could be controlled, and it was only five days before this journey. Can you tell me how many people will become tomorrow, eight thousand or nine thousand?"

The military doctors were all trembling and didn't know how to answer. They bit the bullet for the doctor and said, "Please calm down the anger because the autumn rain is now lingering, and the cold evil invades the body, making many soldiers weak and easily infected. Once the autumn rain stops and the sun comes out, the epidemic will improve."

"Nonsense"

Cao Cao was furious, "I am incompetent, do you still need to rely on the weather? What's the point of using it? I'll be able to kill you all."

The soldiers rushed forward and pushed more than a dozen military doctors outwards. The military doctors were so scared that they beg for mercy, "Prime Minister, spare our lives."

At this time, Cheng Yu next to him couldn't bear it and stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister calms down. You can't blame them for this matter. If you kill them, the epidemic will be even worse."

Cao Cao resisted the anger in his heart and waved his hand, "Give them aside and drive them out."

The military doctors escaped the disaster and all ran away with their heads in their arms. Looking at them running away, Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, they actually know the reason for the worsening of the epidemic, but they dare not say it."

"What's the reason?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked.
