Fourth Weapon Acquisition

Stage: Yellow Turban Rebellion (Allied Forces)
Supply Team (starts: Northwest entry point, moves: central Northern entry point by Zhang Jiao’s final position).
Requirements: Defeat Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang (Zhang Jiao's brothers) without killing any Gate Captains and without losing any of your own. Because the supply team will appear at the Northwest entry point and move East it is suggested that you equip either a fast horse or a good Speed Scroll and kill Zhang Bao before killing Zhang Liang. After you defeat Zhang Liang cross the bridge to the North of his original position and head straight for the supply team (hurry, you don’t have much time). It is worth noting that after you get the weapon He Jin will probably already be in danger, attack and defeat Zhang Jiao as soon as you have the weapon.
