Battle of Chibi

The Battle of Chi Bi was a defining battle of the Three Kingdoms era, and is thought to have caused the founding of the three kingdoms of Wei, Wu, and Shu.

Dynasty Warriors
After successfully escaping Cao Cao at Chang Ban, Liu Bei formed an alliance with Sun Quan to resist the approaching navies of Cao Cao. With both kingdoms working together, and with the combined brilliance of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong, Cao Cao's fleet was set aflame, and Cao Cao was barely able to escape with his life.

Most games begin with Pang Tong's mission to chain Cao Cao's ships together. Normally if fighting as Wei Pang Tong will seem to be on the player's side, then defecting after chaining the ships together, and if fighting as Wu or Shu you have to protect Pang Tong so he is not attacked. Afterward, Zhuge Liang will start a prayer to change the direction of the winds. Wei forces will try to kill him, and Wu/Shu forces will try to protect him. After Zhuge Liang is done, Zhou Yu will instruct Huang Gai to prepare for a fire attack. Wei forces will try to stop him, Wu/Shu forces will try to protect him. Nonetheless, Chi Bi is both an aggressive and tiresome battle whit twists and turns and much activity.

The battle halted Cao Cao's advance southward, and established a long term alliance between the Sun and Liu families, however, Liu Bei took advantage of Cao Cao's retreat to seize Jing province which was the beginning of a dispute that would tear the alliance apart.

In Dynasty Warriors 5, the battle of Chi Bi is sometimes followed by Escape from Chi Bi, in which Cao Cao's forces attempt to escape from the previous Battle of Chi Bi.

While no game has a scene in which Zhuge Liang attempts to persuade Zhou Yu into forming an alliance, Dynasty Warriors 5 hints that the battle was fought over the Two Qiaos during Xiao Qiao's musou mode, in which Zhou Yu expresses his hate for Cao Cao's greed before the battle.

Warriors Orochi
In Warriors Orochi, the Wu forces, led by Ieyasu and Sakon, attack Orochi at Chi Bi. Lu Xun comes as aid to their aid.

Kessen
Similar to the Dynasty Warriors series, the battle takes place after the escape from Chang Ban and Liu Bei will form an alliance with Sun Quan in Kessen II. Zhuge Liang purposes to call forth the winds, but Wu is skeptical, as for decades no high winds have ever blown during this time of year. Despite their doubts, they agree to the strategist's plan. Cao Cao confidently presses on with his overwhelming numbers and Heaven's favor.

In Shu's version of the battle, the player will be given only one strategy to choose: wait for Zhuge Liang to summon the wind. The player must carefully maneuver their troops to stall for time while avoiding being surrounded and overwhelmed. While Zhuge Liang summons the wind, the Mandate of Heaven will try to prevent him from succeeding. Liu Bei will protect him and defeat the avatar sent by the Mandate. His victory allows the winds to start blowing. Once the winds are summoned, Zhuge Liang will use a fire spell and set Cao Cao's fleets aflame. Wei's army experiences a massive morale drop and it is easier to route them at this point.

Wei's version of the encounter offers three strategies; Zhang Liao advocates for an all-out offensive, Xun Yu will suggest to chain the boats together to gain army stability while Himiko will advocate attacking Zhuge Liang. Should the player use the third strategy, they will be able to prevent the fire attack. The second will allow armies to fight in a larger field, making it an excellent set up for fire magic. In both versions of the stage, Lady Sun Li will appear as reinforcements for Shu.
