Imperial Rescue
“Drawn by the lingering light, captivated insects gather to the dying embers of a once ambitious fire. But there they perish in the kindled flames of a new fire.
In the year 195 AD, Cao Cao took the field, determined to protect the Emperor from the remnants of Dong Zhuo’s murderous forces. At his side were able men, ready to help him in his ambitions.”
Strategy: Here you have Cao Cao and three of his top officers (Xiahou Dun, Xu Zhu, Dian Wei) rushing to intercept Li Jue and obtain the Emperor. Xu Zhu and Xiahou Dun are set to cut off Li Jue’s and the carriage from the west, while Cao Cao and Dian Wei chase Li Jue from the east. Later on, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao join the fight. Key trick; do not destroy the carriage when Li Jue has it (note photo above). Head north if you’re Cao Cao/Dian Wei, and you’ll run into Hu Che Er, Zhao Cen and Li Meng before you get to Li Jue. Head west, you’ll be getting compliments as you do. Clear the carriage and keep it clear throughout the level, no matter who your character is. Destruction of the carriage means death to you, and it’ll stop if any little private is sitting in front of it, so try to save yourself some time. Anyway, as you’re heading west, Zhang Ji will come off the northwest coast, with Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. Kill the sub-generals and Zhang Ji as well, locking up the two Guard Captains before you head south.
You should have a little time to have the carriage catch up, but Lu Bu will soon show up. Kill his sub-generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, but be wary of Lu Bu. He is powered up and his attack is absolutely brutal. Try to get the Guard Captains around him and having some help near you would be nice also. Lu Bu is basically the main general, as Yuan Shao will usually appear far too late to make a difference. He does come with Yan Liang, Tian Feng and Zhang He, but he starts in the northeast corner and your carriage should be far along at that point.
Xiahou Dun and Xu Zhu don’t have too much of a variance in their path. They go to the northwest and kill Guo Si and Wang Fang, and then converge on Li Jue with the former two. Again, Yuan Shao shouldn’t be a factor for these two either.
