Take Control of the Central Battlefield
When the battle begins, Liu Bei will emphasize the importance of holding the middle ground. March with your allies and engage the enemy officers at the center of the map.
Intercept the Enemy Advance
Outnumbering your forces, the enemy will attempt to overwhelm Liu Bei through sheer force. They will send troops along the Northern and Southern paths. It's recommended to go after the two squads that are near each other on the Southern-half of the map.
Deal with Enemy Reinforcements
By this point, you should have already engaged Ji Ling and his men. Before you can defeat him, enemy reinforcements will appear, attempting to again focus on Liu Bei. Stick to finishing off enemies where you are and focus on taking down Ji Ling.
Defeat Ji Ling
Ji Ling shares some moves with Zhang Liao, as well as wields the Twin Pikes weapon. Avoiding his AoE attacks, you should be able to quickly take him down with Parries and powerful Battle Arts.
Defeat Yuan Shu
After defeating Ji Ling, Victory conditions will change. To complete the mission, you now have to defeat the newly-arrived Yuan Shu, which shouldn't be too hard.
Xiapi Counterattack Rewards
Weapon Proficiency
Weapon Proficiency will be rewarded based on the weapon/s used in battle. Ranking up weapon proficiency raises Wanderer's level, and reaching certain levels will unlock new skill trees to spend skill points on.
Skill Points and Mount EXP
Skill points and Mount EXP are also awarded based on the number of enemies defeated and which Horse was used.
These rewards vary greatly depending on the Wanderer's performance during battle.
