DW6 Mt Ding Jun

 

Target 1 - Defeat Huang Zhong and ensure Xiahou Yuan's survival.

Target 2 - Take Mt. Cha Qi and Mt. Tian Dang in 15 minutes.

Target 3 - None of your units withdraw

Strategy - As with any other 'none of your units withdraw' target, you'll need to race around a lot initially until your morale gets higher and your allies can survive longer against the enemy (especially so on harder difficulties of course).  

 

You'll probably start off in the north, so head northeast to take out Liu Feng and Zhang Yi.  Hurry to the west after this because Huang Zhong will be attacking your allies, along with Lei Tong, Yan Yan, Fei Yi, Zhang Yi, and Ma Su.  Fortunately you have Xiahou Yuan around to help but you must get there quick to ensure he stays alive.

 

At this time the south base is being attacked by Meng Da and Ma Chao, but once this is cleared up you should be in position to take Mt. Cha Qi.  The problem is some of your allies are getting ahead of themselves and attacking the enemy base, so you either need to help them first or take Mt Cha Qi very fast.  The bottom has Wu Yi protecting the entrance and the top has Li Yan, Chen Dao, and Chen Shi.  

Your attempt at saving all your officers will probably end once Zhao Yun's reinforcements come, because you'll either have to commit to him or to saving Xu Zhu at the enemy base.  Tian Dong South Gate has a ton of enemy officers crawling around like Fa Zheng, Mi Fang, Ma Dai, Zhuge Jun, Zhou Cang and Zhuge Liang.  Further inside is Deng Zhi, Ma Liang, Jian Yong and of course Liu Bei himself.  As I've said before, Liu Bei is the most dangerous ruler to fight in my opinion because he's fast yet still does a massive amount of damage, along with powered up defense.  

 

Target 1 - Defeat Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong survives.

Target 2 - Take Mt. Cha Qi and Mt. Ding Jun in 15 minutes.

Target 3 - None of your units withdraw.

Strategy - Another infamous none of your units withdraw stage.  First, you'll have to hurry to take out Wang Ping in the northwest, and then Dian Man and Guo Huai up Mt Cha Qi a little.  

 

Your own base just east of here is being bombarded by Dai Ling, Li Dian and Cao Zhang.  Further east you'll find more Wei soldiers on the attack in Yue Jin, and then more waves keep attacking.  You'll be hard pressed to survive because if you ignore Cha Qi for too long, Cao Hong will take out one of your allies.  But you can't ignore the waves of attacks.  Xu Zhu comes from the center and Xiahou De and Yu Jin attack from the east.  I generally take out Xu Zhu and race to Mt Cha Qi since evidently Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong can't handle Jiang Gan and Cao Hong ? (your allies on harder difficulties are just pathetic when left alone)  You may be better served to just outright take Mt Cha Qi immediately since it's such a morale boost and hope your eastern allies survive while you're killing officers.   

 

Anyway, take out Zhang He and his subordinate Cheng Yu.  From here you can finish up the rest of the reinforcements and take care of Xiahou Yuan when he makes his move.  First though the massive army in the east is led by Xu Huang (if you didn't take him out earlier), Xiahou De, Cao Zhi, Yu Jin and Wang Shuang.   

 

Then there's the matter of Xiahou Yuan back to the west.  If your allies can survive until now you're in the clear.  But you need to take out Xiahou Mao, Wen Pin, Han Hao and then Xiahou Yuan over here.  

 

This leaves Cao Cao with little protection.  Cao Xiu and Yang Xiu are at the north Ding Yun base.  The feeble Cao Chun comes up at the West Gate, and then Hua Xin, Xu Shu and Cao Cao are at the summit.  

 

Target 1 - Take Mt. Cha Qi and Mt. Ding Jun in 15 minutes.

Target 2 - Enemy forces do not enter Lu Bu's Main Camp.

Target 3 - Win in 20 minutes.

Strategy - Win in 20 minutes.  Sounds easy but it can be tricky especially with the reborn Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao here!  

 

Since you're probably starting off in the east, take down Fan Chou and Bo Zhang.  Before heading off to Mt. Ding Jun, take out the enemies attacking your main camp in Cheng Yuanzhi, Ma Yuanyi and He Yi.

 

While you're going to Mt Ding Jun you may wish to veer off and take the Xu Rong base ahead of time.  Or just aid Lu Bu with Mt Ding Jun as Yu Fuluo and Deng Mao are at the north-most base, and then a mass of Turbans are in the base at the top of Ding Jun.  Zhang Man Cheng, Liu Pi, Han Xian, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liao are there to fight you along with phantom soldiers also.  Just hurry and take out the officers as Li Jue and friends are probably attacking your base now.  

 

Other enemies jump down later to attack, but Hu Che Er and Li Jue are first.  Then Guo Si, and then some forces from the east like Zhang Ji and Li Su.  But you'll probably need to assist Lu Bu in the center by defeating Dong Min and Li Meng.  

 

There should only be the forces in the northeast, and then some random forces scattered about the screen.  Until Hu Zhen and Niu Fu come as reinforcements (they attack the west via the north path, so meet them there).  Mt Cha Qi is pretty bare so just take out Wang Fang and Hua Xiong to secure the northwest area of the map.

 

Take the lower east route to the northeast enemy base.  This way you can finish off Zhao Hong, Yan Zheng and Pei YuanShao along the way.  A massive group of enemies is stacked outside the base.  Zhang Jiao, Sun Zhong, Guan Hai, and Li Ru are all out there waiting for you.  Only Dong Zhuo is inside the base. 

 

Remember with this stage like most other Lu Bu stages you need to defeat every enemy officer so hopefully you did that before climbing Mt Ding Jun so you can finish within 20 minutes.
