Cao Ren was embarrassed and ordered his subordinates to release arrows from the city, but naturally they couldn't hurt the unicorn beast, but instead wasted a lot of arrows in vain.

"Thank you General Cao for the arrows!"

The soldiers above the unicorn shouted in unison, and then triumphantly picked up the horn again, turned the unicorn around, and returned to the camp with a leisurely pace.

Cao Ren was so angry that his liver hurt, and while ordering the free battle card to be hung high, he gathered everyone to study how to deal with this invulnerable strange thing.

Cao Ren looked around with palpitations and said, "Everyone, that Zhuge villager is also a ghost, how to deal with such an object?" ”

Xiahoudun, who had just been defeated, stepped forward anxiously and said: "I heard just now that this thing is called the Qilin Beast, although it is indestructible, it is always not as fast as the soldiers, so there is really nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Then why is there more than a thousand soldiers, but it is not as good as three hundred unicorn beasts?" Cao Ren asked dissatisfiedly.

Xiahoudun was speechless for a while, and the strategist Chen Jiao said to Lie Jianyi: "I think this unicorn beast is wooden, and the next time you fight, you can use the method of fire to break it in one fell swoop." ”

Cao Ren nodded, thinking that the idea was good and feasible.

Cao Chun, the general present, disagreed with this idea, and said: "This thing is huge, I'm afraid that a small torch may not be able to ignite it, and this thing moves freely, I am afraid that it will be dodged before it can burn." ”

"As long as the fire is big enough, add more torches or pour fuel on it, it will still work." Chen Jiao insisted.

"The unicorn beast is infinitely powerful, and it is difficult for soldiers to get close, so how can they set it on fire?" Cao Chun asked unhappily.

"This ......" Chen Jiao also made a difficulty, and after a while, he said: "You can use a catapult to throw torches." ”

This time, even Cao Ren didn't squeak, although the fire was feasible, but Chen Jiao did not propose the best plan. Xiahoudun blinked the one-eyed, carefully recalled the battle just now, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I see that the mechanism of the unicorn beast is above that single horn, it is not difficult to control it, if you can take this thing, it can be used by me, the prime minister must be very happy." ”

This sentence really moved Cao Ren, and he couldn't help but think to himself, if he grabbed this thing and then carried out large-scale production, wouldn't it save a lot of soldiers?

"Next time you take me to personally lead the troops into battle, you will definitely capture the unicorn beast." Cao Ren made up his mind.

"General, by all means, Zhuge Liang is so cunning, he will never let others master the method of control." Chen Jiao said anxiously.

"According to Mr. Chen's words, how should I attack it?" Cao Ren asked coldly.

"We need to discuss it again." Chen Jiao's tone softened a lot, and he still insisted: "The unicorn beast seems to be fierce, just because it is rare, it is nothing more than a bluff, if you study more, you will definitely be able to find a flaw." ”

"Time is not waiting for me!" Cao Ren snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, don't say much!" ”

But it was said that Liu Bei's army returned to the camp victoriously, everyone was rejoicing, and Liu Bei was even more impressed by these unicorn beasts, and even moved the idea of large-scale production, after all, it costs a lot of money and food to raise soldiers, and at that time, there was no problem of excessive cutting, and wood was not valuable.

Zhuge Liang didn't agree with this, the unicorn beast just succeeded in breaking the enemy in one fell swoop, that was because the other party was defenseless, if the other party attacked with fire, the unicorn beast would be in vain, or it would turn into a cloud of ashes, in the final analysis, no matter how exquisite this object is, it can never replace the real army.

Wang Baoyu also has this point of view, in the era of cold weapons, manpower is the foundation of victory, unless artillery and missiles appear in this era.

Liu Bei was still a little unwilling, and discussed tentatively: "If you put hard scales on the unicorn beast, like wearing armor, wouldn't you no longer be afraid of fireworks?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and explained: "The mechanism of the unicorn beast is at the horn of the beast on the top of the head, today Cao Ren and Xiahoudun saw this thing for the first time, and they panicked for a while, and after going back, they will know that as long as they concentrate their forces to kill the horns of the beast and control the soldiers, they can control the unicorn beast." Therefore, such a large object, whether it is wood or iron, has an Achilles' heel. ”

Hey, according to that, the use of unicorns is more like a one-time one, just to stun the other party.

In this regard, Liu Bei can only express deep regret, speaking of this battle of Nanjun, the reason why he came with him has three purposes: first, he came in person, which can boost morale; second, with him in charge, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will listen to Zhuge Liang's words very much; Third, it may be the most critical, Liu Bei believes that if he takes Nanjun this time, he will not return to Xiakou, and will directly work here, which is also his long-term wish.

Nanjun has not yet been taken, it is still too early to say this, Zhuge Liang has made another deployment, presumably the next battle, it may be decisive victory or defeat.

After the army rested for a few days, at dusk that day, it approached the city of Nanjun again, and Cao Ren was also ready, ordering Cao Chun and Niu Jin to lead a thousand soldiers and horses from the north gate and ambush on the right side of Liu Bei's army; Xiahoudun led a thousand soldiers and horses from the south gate and ambushed on the left side of Liu Bei's army, while he personally led three thousand soldiers and horses from the east gate to fight head-on.

Cao Ren just ignored one point, when Zhou Yu besieged the city, he surrounded all four gates, and Liu Bei only guarded the east gate, obviously he only wanted to attack the city, and did not want to besiege the city, in other words, Liu Bei only wanted the city, and was not interested in the people in the city.

Of course, this is also Zhuge Liang's strategic policy, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Cao Chun and even Cao Hong, who was stationed in Yiling, are all related to Cao Cao, and they are all Cao Cao's confidants and favorite generals, if these people are killed, Cao Cao will definitely be furious, even if he gets Nanjun, it will inevitably attract Cao Cao's army to seek revenge.

The army opened a formation under the Nanjun City, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stepped forward on their horses, shouting in unison, the gate of the Nanjun City was wide open, and Cao Ren led three thousand soldiers and horses out, he did not compete with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as soon as he came up, but let the soldiers scatter and once again put out the eight-door golden lock array.

"Kong Ming, you may break my formation?" Cao Ren stood in the middle of the formation and shouted loudly.

"Military Division, I know that this formation is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, which was broken by Xu Shu's military division back then." Liu Bei put his hand on the pergola and said.

"Lord, this array looks like an eight-gate golden lock array, but it is a sixty-four door chain array, presumably Cao Ren has already received Xu Shu's guidance." Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

Liu Bei lowered his face coldly, a little unhappy, when Xu Shu left, he swore an oath and swore not to help Cao Cao, but he still didn't keep his promises, he knew that this was the case, he really shouldn't let him go.

"The military advisor may be able to break this formation?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's a lot of variations, but in my opinion, it's not worth mentioning." Zhuge Liang said confidently.
