The Esteemed Yuan Shao
Chapter 1: Yellow Turban Rebellion
- Yellow Turban Menaces: Han Vs. Yellow Turbans
- Commanders: Huangfu Song Vs. Zhang Liang
At the start of the battle(either as Zhang He or Yuan Shao), you might as well assist either Cao Cao or Liu Bei against the generals that stand in their way. Since Deng Mao is the closest to you, go ahead and put him out of the way. Next, defeat Gao Sheng at the south gate so Liu Bei can go forth towards Sun Jian's area. Since Cao Cao's army has only one general left, might as well help out the Hero of Chaos and allow his army to move towards Zhang Liang. Some time later, Zhang Liang will summon a rain storm near Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song will see this as a useless trick and start advancing. Just as Huangfu Song passes through the stream in the castle, He Yi will appear as an ambush party. Go over towards Huangfu Song and bail him out. After dealing with He Yi, you can assist Sun Jian and Liu Bei on the east gate if you wish or you can wait for the second ambush party led by Yan Zheng that is just outside of the caslte waiting for Huangfu Song. With both ambush parties and the east gate cleared, it is now a walk through the land from here on out. Although Zhang Liang is cornered, he will use the water geysers as his last attack to crush your forces. Give this guy a beat down and claim your first victory. Also, by clearing this stage, Zhang Liang will not appear in the last battle.
- Yellow Turban Fortress: Han Vs. Yellow Turbans
- Commanders: Zhu Jun Vs. Zhang Bao
Cao Cao will attack from the east while Sun Jian advances from the west. The volunteer forces shall move as they like while once again(Yuan Shao or Zhang He) shall assist either side they wish. In this battle, there are two paths that you can take or you can take both if you don't mind the back tracking. Since you are close to Cao Cao's position, advance towards the circular path. Defeat He Yi and enter the circular path where Pei Yuan Shao will use the windmills against your army. As Cao Cao said, "There is a way to stop these winds! Keep advancing." Once you reach the end of the circular path, you will find 3 windmills that are causing the strong winds to slow your forces down. Knock down the windmills and your forces shall continue their match towards Pei Yuan Shao. Defeat Pei Yuan Shao and your only a few feet away from Zhang Bao's castle.
Now if you took the west path then you will encounter Bo Zhang guarding the small fortress gate. Defeat him and gain entrance into the area where the phantom army will assault you. Sun Jian will let you know that there is a source of power that gives these ghosts their power so search near the south of the fortress. You will come across 2 large cauldrons that need to be destroyed in order for you to continue. Zhou Cang is guarding the second gate so take the time to show him who is the best. With the phantom army and Zhou Cang defeated, you will be left with only Zhang Bao left, but you must first defeat Cheng Yuanzhi to get inside the caslte. Defeat Zhang Bao and you will have won your second battle. Also, by defeating Zhang Bao, he will not appear in the last battle.
- Yellow Turban Rebellion: Han Vs. Yellow Turban
- Commanders: He Jin Vs. Zhang Jiao
If you managed to clear and defeat Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao in the last battles then they won't appear here at this battle. So advancing here will be easy for the Han forces. On the other hand, if you did not defeat them in the other battles, they will appear in the north. Zhang Liang will be in the east and Zhang Bao shall be in the west. As you advance to the middle field, go ahead and give Liu Bei's forces a hand by defeating the officers in his way. Next, head for the middle field towards the north and defeat the general there which will allow Liu Bei to join Sun Jian's forces in the west. Once again, there are two paths here and you can always do one or both if you don't mind the back tracking. For the assault on Zhang Bao, he will use flame geysers on you. If you sway from these flaming blast, Zhang Bao will walk over them himself while trying to get to you so use that to your advantage. Defeat Zhang Bao and advance on to the north where Zhang Jiao is. In the east, Zhang Liang uses a more dangerous attack on you that can finish you off if you are not careful. He will send rolling stones on you as you try to move around in the area and he too will be hit by them. Defeat Zhang Liang and continue your march to the north.
If neither of them appeared in this battle then all you must do is defeat any of the generals in the area. Once you are about to reach the top, Zhang Jiao will send flaming rocks towards you as his final attempt to crush you. You can easily dodge them by taking to the right side of the path. Once you are passed the rocks, go ahead and finish off Zhang Jiao to end his rebellion. Well done! You have just won your last battle of chapter 1!
