Dynasty Warriors 4: XL - Yuan Shao Musou Mode 6 - Battle of Guan Du

In this battle Guan Yu starts terrorizing your army like, right away. You can stop him by defeating him but if you couldn't take on Lu Bu in the previous stage you likely can't take on Guan Yu here cuz he's almost as strong. The easiest thing is to let him run his course and eventually Liu Bei will notice him and rush to him, which will lead to both of them leaving the battlefield. On harder difficulties he'll defeat officers faster so after Yan Liang and Wen Chou he'll go after Yuan Shao's sons, even has lines for all of them saying he's come for their head.
Cao Cao is tricky as hell in this stage too, he literally tries to trick you the player. There's a report for a supply unit carrying a valuable item during his retreat but if you go to it all the supply unit drops is one meat bun and you get ambushed instead. After he closes the gates Li Dian will appear and rush straight to Wu Chao, ignoring everything else. There's not even any indicator that Li Dian appears and you're usually too concerned with the ram to notice so by the time you realize he's already attacking Wu Chao. And the officers defending Wu Chao have incredibly low HP, I guess because they're drunk bastards, so you have to get there quickly.

What happened to Zhang He?

[@memesa2312]

He only appears in Free Mode in this battle, since he doesn’t betray Yuan Shao in the story mode.
