Your first goal in the battle is to rendezvous with the main forces to the west, so defeat any enemy officers in your way and head to the middle area in the south. Along the way, you should see a message saying that some of the Yellow Turbans are approaching the main camp. When you get to the main camp, you'll see an officer there, so take him out and then head to the north to take out the other that is highlighted.
Depending on who you're playing as, head in the indicated direction that you're told (Guan Yu to the west and either of the other two to the east). However, not long after, you'll see a message talking about peasants in the middle of the map. Rescue them by defeating the officer near them to get some experience as a reward.
Once again, the battle is different depending on your character. Going up the west side will have Zhang Bao using some sorcery and there will be two gates. Opening both gates will make him summon sorcery troops that shoot ice or fire. The east side of the map will have Zhang Liang making shards of ice fall to the ground. Defeating either one will make their respective sorcery stop and taking out both will make the gate open to Zhang Jiao. Defeating him will finish the battle.
HYPOTHETICAL |
You will need to help the peasants in this battle to get the stars. At one point, you will see them calling out for help in the town area in the middle of the map. Go there and defeat the officers attacking them to rescue them. Note that the peasants will appear randomly in one of three spots in the middle, but they will always be in the middle. |
