Plagued by disease and low morale due to the forced marches, Cao Cao’s men could not gain an advantage in the small skirmish with Sun-Liu combined forces, so Cao Cao retreated to Wulin.
Cao Cao had moored his ships from stem to stern to reduce seasickness, which is convenient for Huang Gai to burn his navy by feigning surrender. A large number of Cao Cao’s men and horses were either burned to death or drowned. Cao Cao’s army retreated along Huarong Road and was decimated by famine and disease. Cao Cao then retreated north and left Cao Ren and Xu Huang to guard Jiangling, Yue Jin in Xiangyang, and Man Chong in Dangyang. The allied counterattack might have vanquished Cao Cao and his forces entirely.
However, the crossing of the Yangtze River dissolved into chaos. To restore order, a detachment led by the Gan Ning established a bridgehead in Yiling to the north, and only a staunch rearguard action by Cao Ren prevented further catastrophe.

赤壁之战简介:东汉建安十三年(公元208年),孙权、刘备联军在长抄江赤壁(今湖北蒲圻市西北的赤壁山,一说在今湖北武昌县西赤矶山)一带,大败曹操军队的一次决战。曹操败袁绍、破乌桓,基本统一北方后,于建安十三年七月,自宛(今河南南阳)挥师南下,欲先灭刘表,再顺长江东进,击败孙权,以统一天下。九月,曹军进占新野(今属河南),时刘表已死,其子刘琮不战而降。依附刘表屯兵樊城(今属湖北)的刘备仓促率军民南撤。曹操收编刘表部众,号称八十万大军向长江推进。刘备在长(今湖北当阳境)被曹军大败后,于退军途中派诸葛亮赴柴桑(今江西袭九江西南)会见孙权,说服孙权结盟抗曹。
孙权命周瑜为主将,程普为副,率三万精锐水军,联合屯驻樊口(今湖北鄂州境)的刘备军,共约五万人溯长江西进,迎击曹军。十一月,孙刘联军与曹军对峙于赤壁。曹操将战船首尾相连,结为一体,以利演练水军,伺机攻战。周瑜采纳部将黄盖所献火攻计,并令zd其致书曹操诈降,曹操中计。黄盖择时率蒙冲斗舰乘风驶入曹军水寨纵火。曹军船阵被烧,火势延及岸上营寨,孙刘联军乘势出击,曹军死伤过半,遂率部北退,留征南将军曹仁固守江陵。联军乘胜扩张战果,孙刘两军分占荆州要地。
