Liu Bei’s Forces Scenario – ** Difficulty
Target 1 – Take South Watchpost in 10 minutes.
Target 2 – Defeat 7 or more enemy units in 15 minutes.
Target 3 – At least 9 of your units survive until Yuan Shu’s Main Camp is taken
Strategy – As you can tell, this stage is extremely similar to the DW6 Conquest of Wu stage. This time though you are Liu Bei’s forces moving on Yuan Shu’s massive army, starting off in the northeast part of the stage.
Generally I take the high road going south along the east wall. The nearby Peasants along the mountaintop will join you. They will tell you of Yuan Shu’s behavior. Keep riding south – you can jump down and take out Zhang Xun but I just keep going south to Yu She and Hua Xin. Soon you will get word of reinforcements to the southeast. Depending on how fast you took care of the two officers listed above, you may have time to hurry to the South Watchpost to take that quick to get Target 1 completed. You’ll need a fast horse to get there by the time the reinforcements arive, and I generally jump down and take out Yang Hong along the way back.
For those reinforcements, you will see Li Feng first, then Lei Bo then Yue Jiu. You’ll want to ride back and take out this new wave. Fortunately you get some support in the southwest in Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and the Wu Forces. They can be left alone with Chen Lan and Yang Hong if you left those two alive.
Once the enemy reinforcements are cleared the enemy is then on the defensive and you can systematically make your way to Yuan Shu’s main camp. Yang Feng and Yuan Yin are in the central base while Yuan Yao occupies the west-most one. Not much else to do but take out Liu Xun in front of the main camp, and then Han Xian and whoever else Yuan Shu has in there besides himself. Careful of his lightning arrows though.
