Get Zhou Yu to the Escape Point

You start the battle at the bottom of the map. You must get Zhou Yu to the Escape Point, which is all the way at the Northern tip of the map.

Watch Out for Enemy Traps

Once you begin your journey towards the objective, the enemy will spring various traps to try and impede you throughout various points of the mission, starting with logs that will knock you back if you get hit.

Brace Against an Arrow Volley

After making it through the segment with the logs, the enemy will begin an arrow volley. Watch out for and avoid the red rings that will appear on the ground to not get damaged.

Survive the Arrow Volley

If you manage to cross the river somewhere at the center of the map, the arrow volleys will stop. Prioritize on getting to this point to make the rest of the mission easier.

Watch Out for a Ballista Attack

After the arrow volley, the enemy will then launch Ballista attacks. Ballistae are like arrow volleys, but you get knocked back if you get hit, so stay alert and clear the enemy base where the Ballistae are.

Conquer the Main Enemy Base

The last hurdle is the enemy's Main Camp that's just in front of the escape point. After breaching the gate, clear out all of the enemies and get Zhou Yu to escape, completing the mission.
