It's dawn!

It's just that today's sky, gray, the sun in the east, is completely obscured by clouds.

A cavalry passed through the mist.

A large army, after a night's rest, set out again at dawn.

The exit of the snake road.

A group of soldiers, silent, walked out along the serpentine path.

Behind them were people with even more messy steps.

I didn't sleep all night, and I was on the road all the time.

For the soldiers, it is still possible to hold on.

But for ordinary people, it's really hard.

On this night, more than 2,000 people did not come out of the more than ten miles of the snake road.

Their corpses will remain here forever, slowly decomposing and turning into bones, and no one knows their identity.

Full of favor commanded the soldiers, and settled the people.

Cao Cao needed these people very much.

Although along the way, there will be a lot of losses.

But Cao Cao wasn't trying to drive them to a dead end.

Arrange a place for the people who come out, and at the same time begin to prepare food.

While resting, he was also waiting for Cao Cao to come out of the snake path.

Although this night, I have been on the road all the time.

But Cao Cao would not let these people rest for a day.

He didn't have that much time.

They need to cross the green water before the green water wooden bridge is destroyed.

Although this night, Cao Cao did not receive any new news.

But before entering the snake road, Cao Cao already knew that Xu Huangbing was divided into two ways.

At dawn.

Cao Hong Xiahou Yuan, with the remaining hundred people, finally retreated.

Their task has been accomplished.

Even if Xu Huang wants to set fire to it now, it is too late.

At most, it was to burn Cao Hongxia Hou Yuan to death.

Cao Cao was about to go out of the snake road.

Xu Huang again led two thousand men and pursued behind.

He didn't let the 20,000-strong army go with him into the snake road.

Cao Cao was worried that Xu Huang would set the fire.

But Xu Huang did not choose to set the fire.

Now pursuing Cao Jun, Xu Huang is also worried that Cao Cao will set fire.

If all the 20,000 troops rushed into the snake road, and the fire was all together, 20,000 people would be burned to death.

Xu Huang would not take this risk.

The strength in Cao Cao's hands is now less than 20,000.

Xu Huang is pursuing now, not to eliminate Cao Cao.

It was more about watching Cao Cao, harassing Cao Cao's army, and delaying Cao Cao's marching speed.

Cao Cao has already gone out of the snake road, and Xu Huang's purpose has changed, he is no longer asking to be able to keep Cao Cao.

Now it mainly depends on Zhao Yun looking over there.

The snake path is not easy to walk.

Cao Hongxiahou Yuan led more than a hundred Cao soldiers, and he ran very fast, but he was not chaotic.

In the winding and rugged snake path, their ranks are fairly neat.

Xu Huang followed closely behind with two thousand Yellow Turban troops.

But the distance between the two sides has not been narrowed.

Although there are more than 100 Cao troops, they have not rested for a night.

But in a narrow snake path, the fewer the people, the faster they run.

The two thousand Yellow Turban Army led by Xu Huang did not participate in the battle last night, and they rested all night and were full of energy.

However, 2,000 people, in the snake road, want the team not to be chaotic, so they can only advance at a uniform speed.

Their speed is much faster than Cao Cao's 100,000 people last night.

More than ten miles of snake road, 100,000 people took an afternoon and an evening to get out.

Cao Hong Xiahou Yuan took the rest of the people, fought for more than a hundred people all night, and it took two hours to reach the exit of the snake road.

Xu Huang is still two miles away from the exit.

"Lord, there are still pursuers behind me." After Cao Hong came out, he immediately reported to Cao Cao.

"How many are there?" Cao Cao asked.

"About two thousand."

In the snake path, it was difficult for Cao Hong to see the length of Xu Huang's troops and horses behind him.

He could only judge the approximate number of people based on the footsteps behind him.

However, the number of Cao Hong's guesses and the actual number are not much different.

Cao Cao was a pity.

"Set it on fire."

Xu Huang didn't dare to set fire, but Cao Cao dared.

He had already planned it.

If Xu Huang hadn't divided his troops, then he would have been able to return to Yanzhou with 100,000 people now.

It's just that Xu Huang reacted quickly.

Cao Cao would set fire to the Yellow Turban Army behind him now.

He also has to hurry up and use the fastest time to cross the green water.

Cao Cao is very sorry, if he can set fire to the more than 20,000 Yellow Turban troops behind him, all of them will be burned to death.

Facing the lookout in front of him, he will be much less stressed.

However, even if only 2,000 people were chasing, Cao Cao still ordered the fire.

He won't care how many people will be burned to death and how many mountains and forests will be burned after this fire breaks out.

Immediately after Cao Cao gave the order, there were soldiers, holding torches, and began to light the fire at the exit.

The water droplets at night have not yet evaporated, there is no fire oil, and these thorny shrubs are still a little difficult to burn.

At the exit, thick smoke rose from the door.

A group of soldiers carried torches and burned the dead leaves that had been collected and piled up.

Fan the fire on one side.

The black smoke is getting more and more, thicker and higher.

Xu Huang, who was chasing behind, saw the smoke rising for the first time.

He immediately realized that Cao Jun was going to set fire to the road.

Xu Huang did not retreat.

Instead, take the men and horses, speed up, and continue to rush forward.

Xu Huang wanted to rush out of the snake path before the fire burned out.

Now they can only rush forward to have a chance of life.

If they go back the way they came, they will definitely not be able to outrun the dragon.

Although now Cao Jun has difficulty igniting.

But if the fire really burns, it will be very terrifying, and human beings will be very small in front of it.

The smoke in front suddenly decreased, and the fire appeared, and it grew louder and louder.

100,000 people have already been taken away by Manchu.

After seeing the fire, Cao Cao also left with the rest of the people.

But Cao Ren still took a thousand people and stayed.

In case someone escapes from the fire.

In the snake road, Xu Huang is still nearly a mile away from the exit.

But the front has been blocked by fire.

Although the snake path was one zhang wide, the fire that spread quickly was enough to burn the people in the snake path.

As the fire raged, the smoke rose again, bigger than before, billowing smoke into the sky, like a demon and a monster.

Even if Xu Huang and the others were not burned to death, the smoke was enough for them to suffocate to death.

The fire burned, and there was no chance of anyone being spared by hiding in the snake path.

Fortunately for Xu Huang, there is no wind now.

The speed at which the fire spreads is not very fast.

And walking in the middle of the snake path, you won't be burned by the fire for the time being.

The heat wave came, and Xu Huang's clothes were just soaked with sweat, but they were quickly dried again.

After chasing Xu Huang all the way, he didn't feel tired, but at the moment when the fire started, he felt dry mouth and difficulty breathing.

"Rush!"

"Don't stop."

The fire had already burned to both sides of Xu Huang.

They are like a group of people walking on a sea of fire.
