Jianye

The Battle of Jianye (建業の戦い, rōmaji: Kenkō no Tatakai) depicts the military conflict that led to Wu's collapse. Historically, Sima Yan lead a two year expedition towards Wu and the conflict ends with Sun Hao's surrender. Jian Ye, the location of Wu's capital, is taken and renamed Jian Kang. The area later became known as the same capital for the Six Dynasties, two of which include Wu and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the Dynasty Warriors series, it is an imaginary campaign lead by either the Nanman, Shu, or Wei bring an end to Wu here. Sun Jian seeks to defend his family's home.

In Dynasty Warriors 4, this acts as the final battle if certain requirements are met by Wei or Shu, but the Nanman automatically fight here in their kingdom's story. There are many tricks here, making it a very long level. Multiple Sun Jians will appear with their men marching out of the castle to engage the player. Also, the entire Sun family arrive to aid him. After Sun Jian is killed, Sun Ce steps up to plate. When he is killed, Sun Quan assumes command. When he is killed, Sun Shang Xiang is the last one to take over the army. When she is killed, the battle ends. Also to note that the Sun family members that arrive will only retreat if they are defeated before killing Sun Jian.

The battle returns in Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 as a battle in Wei's Musou Mode. Players are again directed to slay Sun Jian, but this time his death is needed as the final victory condition. His children and loyal vassals attempt to overpower their oppression in Sun Jian's defense before they die in battle. After completing this battle, players gain the option to end Shu at Cheng Du within Wei's scenario. They may also gain Gu Dasao and Masamune Date as members of their army.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce has the map act in a manner similar to Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 with Sun Jian's death marking the end of the battle. It is a quest available in either Wei or Shu's scenarios. His three children need to be defeated before players can reach the father, since they bar entry to his resting area. When Sun Quan is defeated, Sun Jian will activate his Fury form. Emptying his lifebar once opts him to instantly revive himself whilst in his Fury form. Wu's various tiger guardians also try to surround and immobilize players, but they can be ignored if they prove too difficult for players to defeat.

Dynasty Warriors 7 brings Jianye back as a DLC map. One sub-mission of the battle in the Wu scenario involves cutting off enemy reinforcements.

In Dynasty Warriors 8, Jianye appears as the first stage in Wei's what-if route. Using the momentum he had gained with his victory at Chibi, Cao Cao invades Wu's capital. Should the player force the defenders inside the castle to defect, Sun Quan will surrender instead of resorting to a last stand.

The stage also appears in Jin's hypothetical route with Sima Zhao leading the attack together with Wang Yuanji, Jia Chong, and Zhuge Dan. When Sun Xiu is beaten, Wu falls.
