I would consider this battle to be the more challenging one out of the lot, requiring you to have a well-prepared strategy. Your objective is to defeat Liu Biao, and what makes this challenge difficult is the amount of obstacles that you have to face on the battlefield.

To start, secure the first base as quicky as you can by eliminating the officer guarding it. Having this base would replenish your guards, and without them progressing would be much slower and more difficult.

When Sun Ce leaves, enemies will start targeting him. If he becomes alone, then rescuing him becomes difficult, so always keep an eye on where he is. Making sure he is protected and once the base is secured advancing towards the main gate becomes your next priority.

Your main challenge would arise when you attempt to breach the gate leading to Liu Bao. You will be faced with enemy officers such as Han Song and Wen Pin. They will actively defend the area, and if they are left alone, their troops will continue to reinforce the gate, stopping you from entering. So eliminating them first should definitely be a priority.

I would also recommend replenishing the guards captured from the base before heading out to the gate. Once you’re inside, I would recommend rushing Liu Biao as quickly as possible. To increase your damage output, use your heavy battle arts and bravery boosts; reserve your True Musuo Rage for Liu Bao. The battle will end immediately after he is defeated.

This battle requires a mix of speed and strategy, capturing bases at the right time and eliminating key targets in quick succession. By following these steps, you’ll hopefully breeze past this challenge efficiently and with ease.
