The Battle of Mt. Dingjun (定軍山の戦い, rōmaji: Teigunzan no Tatakai) was a battle between the forces of Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Liu Bei was seeking to control the culturally vital Hanzhong region, as well as open a path into Wei, while Cao Cao was trying to stop him. The two archers Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan developed a rivalry here, ending with Huang Zhong and his forces slaying Xiahou Yuan, and driving out Wei.

Role in Games

Dynasty Warriors

The series highlights the efforts of the generals Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan. In all games in which the battle appears, a small rivalry takes place over the battle between the two. Some installments have them exchange insults during the battle, while others have a cutscene prior to the battle, and when the two generals meet. In the end the player has the power to decide the ultimate victor, although normally their duel is left alone, the opposing general to the player's force will claim victory. In the sixth installment a new mountain was added named Mt. Cha Qi. If using either Shu or Wei, Xiahou Yuan or Huang Zhong will capture Mt. Cha Qi depending who is your ally. If Mt. Cha Qi is captured, the rival general will attack Mt. Cha Qi and the ally general will defend the mountain starting the famous one-on-one battle of Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong. In Dynasty Warriors 8, Cao Xiu will arrive to charge the Shu camp in Shu's story. If he is taken out before the stage is complete, it will help open the hypothetical story branch.

Warriors Orochi

Orochi sends Sun Ce, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hanzō Hattori and Sun Quan to get rid of the resistance with Ma Chao and Ranmaru Mori as leaders. Ranmaru fought against Sun Ce and after losing he vowed to fight alongside him. Good on the word, Zhou Yu is released.

Warriors Orochi 3, gives parts of Dingjun a French-style design. While Ma Chao and his party chase after Kiyomori, Zhou Tai, Toshiie Maeda and Zuo Ci rescue Joan of Arc who left Magoichi Saika to hold back Sun Wukong. The French army troopers are saved from the mind control, but at the cost of Magoichi's life. The party also save Xiahou Ba, Sun Quan, Guan Yu and Cao Ren from Kiyomori's mind control. After changing the past at Komaki-Nagakute, Joan returns to Dingjun with Cai Wenji and Kanetsugu Naoe to save Magoichi.

Ultimate allows players to re-enact this battle after Cao Ren and Xiahou Ba avoid mind-control and the player is part of the Saika forces looking to infiltrate Mt.Dingjun stealthily.
