Mission Walkthrough[edit]
To complete the first objective in the mission, you must capture 5 strategeic points to the south. The Wei Main Forces will assist you in the captures. After some of the points are captured, Sima Zhao will need assistance due to an ambush at his position. You must aid him and defeat Gongsun Heng to stop the ambush.
After the Southeastern Garrison has fallen to Gongsun Yuan's forces, Sima Yi will start to get tired of the opposing armie's "stupidity and idiocity". He will start to command the Wei Assault Unit to assault the northeaster cliff. Your job is to follow the units and help the assault.
Once you get to the cliff, there will be a wall with boulders and a ladder. Climb the ladder using the jump button. This will lead you to a platform on the cliff. Move towards the right and move up toward the castle.
The enemy will start to become confused because you have suddenly ambushed them. Rush into the castle using the moment and go up the stairs. You should see another enemy officer. Defeat him and you should be able to access a gate to the left. Inside the gate is where Gongsun Yuan should be residing. Just defeat him and you should claim victory.
