Shu - Act III
The Flight of Liu Bei
---------------------

[Battle of Bo Wan Po] (Liu Bei's Forces) 
Difficulty: ***
Bonus: Successfully executing all of Zhuge Liang's ploys here will weaken Cao 
Cao's forces at Chang Ban.

This is a rather fun stage to play (the Wei version is another story) as 
Zhuge Liang has a bunch of neat traps for the Wei forces to run into. At the 
start head for Xiahou Dun until he starts chasing you, then lead him to the 
center path that Zhuge Liang indicated. When the fire incinerates the Wei 
troops go ahead and defeat Xiahou Dun. Next up is Han Hao. Lure him to the 
ambush site on the upper path. When the trap springs take him out as well. 
Last is Yu Jin. Go up to him and lure him to the ambush near the bridge. Once 
this happens Zhuge Liang will order an all out attack on Cao Cao. Guan Yu 
will appear as reinforcements. If you are successful with all three traps 
Zhang Fei will appear in Cao Cao's supply depot and burn it down. From this 
point all that's left is to engage the remaining generals in the castle. If 
Zhuge Liang encounters Cao Cao he will make a remark about using Cao Cao's 
ambition to help Liu Bei's cause.

[Battle of Chang Ban] (Liu Bei's Forces)
Difficulty: ***
Bonus: Finding Liu Chan here will cause Zhao Yun to appear as reinforcements 
at Chi Bi.

Liu Bei moves much faster than he did in DW3, so he'll probably escape before 
you can totally annihilate all of the Wei generals. The goal here is to clear 
a path for Liu Bei so that he can escape to Wu. There are three routes you 
can take here that lead to the escape point to the south. The left route has 
Xiahou De and Xiahou Yuan. The center route has Zhu Ling and Xu Huang. The 
right route has Xiahou Dun and Zhang He. Since a special event can occur if 
you take the right route it's probably the easiest, so we'll take this route 
for the walkthrough.

Right off the bat Xiahou Dun will come charging in. If you defeated him in 
the previous act he will most likely challenge you to a duel. Take him out 
and start clearing a path south. Zhang He should be near the Chang Ban 
Bridge. Defeating him will clear a path for Zhang Fei to do his famous yell 
scene where he will hold back the Wei army. Cao Cao's main force should 
appear to the northwest. Around this time you should get a message that Liu 
Chan has appeared. Note that rescuing Liu Chan does not get you anything 
except a warm fuzzy feeling (and 60 seconds of unlimited Musou). And a cool 
scene if you rescue him while on horseback. If you decide to rescue him, be 
aware that hundreds on enemies will converge on you the moment you enter the 
fort where he is. So unless you feel like recreating Zhao Yun's famous scene 
I would recommend ignoring him unless you have a built up character. Note 
that when Liu Bei tells you to destroy the bridges to delay pursuit, he's 
referring to the two southern bridges near the central fort. Just cross over 
them from the north and they will be destroyed.

When Liu Bei reaches the south part of the area Liu Qi's ships will arrive, 
along with Guan Yu and Guan Ping. Continue clearing a path for Liu Bei by 
defeating Jia Kui and Yu Jin, and eventually he should reach the escape point 
safe and sound.

[Battle of Chi Bi] (Liu Bei's Forces)
Difficulty: ***

From the start of the battle you should head immediately to the northwest 
corner of the map. Halfway there Pang Tong should announce that he's "off to 
work". If you have a fast horse ignore the enemies and make a break for his 
location. Otherwise, you're going to have to do some serious footwork to make 
it up there in time. If you're too slow then Pang Tong will say something 
about their defense being too tight and will withdraw. If this happens you 
can still make the fire attack work by going to plan B (skip to the next 
paragraph). When you do reach Pang Tong he'll tell you you'll need to take 
care of Xu Shu (one of Cao Pi's sub generals) before he gets suspicious. Go 
ahead and eliminate him. Don't worry about Pang Tong. Even though he's your 
allied color the enemies there won't mess with him. Once Xu Shu is gone head 
immediately for Zhuge Liang's position. You'll know Pang Tong's plot is 
successful when he says that the boats should be secure now. Julie-Su writes 
in to mention that you don't even have to meet with Pang Tong. Just eliminate 
Xu Shu right off the bat and you don't have to worry about the plot failing.

Li Dian is nearby, but ignore him for now and head to Zhuge Liang's altar 
post haste. Yue Jin will launch an ambush and will quickly defeat Zhuge Liang 
unless you immediately help him. Once Yue Jin is dealt with stick around and 
clear out the entire area around the altar of enemies. After that's done head 
for Li Dian and take care of him. It will take some time for Zhuge Liang to 
get the wind to blow, so it's best to secure the area around him so you don't 
have to worry about his safety.

When the altar area is secured head for the center bridge where Cao Ren is. 
Defeat him and clear the center bridge of all enemies. This is important 
because Huang Gai will appear on the bridge area later and his safety is 
necessary for the fire attack to proceed. You should get a message that Huang 
Gai has begun preparations for the attack. His boat will dock near the right 
side of the bridge where a staircase juts out but doesn't go anywhere. Once 
the bridge area is secure you can go ahead and take out any nearby enemies, 
but make sure to head back to the bridge area when you get the message that 
Huang Gai is about to arrive. If any enemies arrive on the bridge take care 
of them. Once Huang Gai arrives on the bridge he will start walking around 
with some bombardiers. A short time later the fire attack should commence. If 
Pang Tong's plot was successful the ship should be chained together, which 
will result in Cao Cao's forces taking severe losses. At his point the allied 
forces will launch an all out attack. From this point you can clear out the 
remaining Wei generals or head straight for Cao Cao.
