Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 6.2: Orochi Story B

Chapter 9: Battle of Dingtao 定陶の戦い (uses DW8XL map)

Orochi Army vs. Wu Army Allied characters: Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Wang Yuanji Enemy characters: Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Xiaoqiao, Zhu Ran, Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, Ding Feng, Zhou Tai, Lianshi

Unlocked characters: Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, Zhou Tai, Lianshi

Upon hearing that the Orochi Army would attack Hefei, Sun Quan escaped Wu with a number of officers and made camp in Dingtao. However, they were confronted by Sima Yi, who had forseen this and asked Orochi to allow him to deal with them.

Beginning from the southeast, Sima Yi leads his army towards Dingtao Castle with the intention of occupying Dingtao, Juye and Linqiu (廩丘, aka Lu Bu’s main camp in DW8XL) Castles. As they approach Dingtao Castle, Zhu Ran will attack the Orochi Army with firearrows; his defeat will allow the Orochi Army to continue advancing.

Taishi Ci, Huang Gai and Xiaoqiao will be defending the three castles. Sima Yi will suspect something amiss with the Wu Army; there are three fire attack units that the player needs to defeat in order to foil Lu Xun’s strategy. Lu Meng is on the path that is adjacent to the centre path out of Dingtao (turn left and then turn right just as you enter the corridor to Linqiu), Lu Su is on the path behind Linqiu Castle, and Ding Feng is on the path behind Juye Castle. Occupying all three castles before defeating the respective fire attack units will cause them to be set on fire.

In any case, Sima Yi’s army will continue north towards the Wu main camp, but as they approach the exit doors, the area is set on fire as ambush units appear and attack them; Lu Xun had anticipated this and focused his efforts on this attack using the fire attacks on the three castles as a feint. Defeat Lu Meng, Lu Su and Ding Feng (again) to continue.

Lu Xun will unleash a rockslide as you head up the northern path. Defeat him to stop the rockslide.

Sun Shangxiang and Lianshi will be the final obstacles to the main camp before you confront Sun Quan and Zhou Tai. Defeat Sun Quan to win the battle.

Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang are informed of their father and brother’s surrender at Hefei, leaving them with no choice but to surrender to the Orochi Army.

After Ieyasu and Hanzō are defeated inside Edo Castle, Masamune will reappear again for a third time with more reinforcements. Defeat Masamune to win the battle.

Chapter 11: Battle of Hiketa 引田の戦い (uses SW4 map)

Unlocked characters: Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa

With most of Japan’s armies subjugated or driven off by the Orochi Army, the remaining clans of western Japan banded together to form a resistance against Orochi. Masamune Date is sent to quell one of those resistance armies, facing off against the Chōsokabe and Mōri clans in Hiketa, supported by the Saika Renegades.

The Orochi Army arrives on two ships from the east and northeast. The enemy officers will begin advancing from the northwest and from Sogō and Hiketa Castles. As you defeat the enemy officers, they will reappear after a little while and even worse, some allied officers will be entranced by some sort of spell. Kojurō works out what is happening and decides to put a plan into action. Assist him as he heads to the northwestern garrison, where he will act entranced in order to lure Koshōshō into opening the gates. Defeat Koshōshō, allowing your allies to return to normal and the enemy officers to be defeated.

Noticing the front gates to Toramaru Castle not opening, Kojurō suggests that they ambush the castle from behind. As the Orochi Army heads into the western garrison to fight the Mōri officer there, Okuni and Goemon appear to reinforce the garrison before retreating upon their defeats.

Upon entering Toramaru Castle, Motochika and Motonari along with Gracia and Takakage have disappeared; as their officers attack them, Motochika and Motonari appear on the Orochi Army’s ships in an attempt to attack them from behind. Hisahide orders his troops to detonate the explosives on the ships which will slow their advance. At the same time, Sun Wukong arrives with reinforcements on a ship in the southeast and Okuni and Goemon will appear again in Hiketa Castle. Defeat Motochika and Motonari to win the battle.

Motochika, Okuni and Goemon manage to escape. Motonari concedes his loss and peacefully surrenders to the Orochi Army in the hopes of maintaining the stability of the Mōri while also hoping to meet all the different heroes of China and Japan.

Chapter 12: Battle of Yanagawa 柳川の戦い (uses SW4 map)

Orochi Army vs. Toyotomi Army Allied characters: Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su, Guan Xing, Sima Shi, Daqiao Enemy characters: Mitsunari Ishida, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Takatora Tōdō, Ginchiyo Tachibana, Muneshige Tachibana, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Toyohisa Shimazu, Musashi Miyamoto, Kojirō Sasaki, Sakon Shima

Unlocked characters: Mitsunari Ishida, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Kojirō Sasaki

With the Chōsokabe-Mōri resistance quashed by the Orochi Army, the only remaining pocket of resistance in Western Japan was the Shimazu and Tachibana along with remanants of the Toyotomi Army led by Mitsunari Ishida. Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Lu Su are sent to deal with them.

The Orochi Army splits into three groups to attack the Toyotomi Army at Yanagawa. The Shu forces head to attack the Tachibana forces in the northwest, the Jin forces attack the Shimazu forces in the northeast, and the Wu forces attack the Toyotomi forces in the southeast. However, they are met with resistance from the three armies, requiring Zhuge Liang to formulate a pincer attack strategy.

The key to Zhuge Liang’s strategy is to occupy the Sakemi and Yadome garrisons in the north and east. Though the Yadome Garrison is easily occupied, they are unable to access the northern area as the gates are tightly shut. Sima Yi sends out rams to break down the two gates to the northern area, allowing the Orochi Army to attack the Sakemi Garrison.

Musashi Miyamoto and Kojirō Sasaki appear from the western stronghold near the Orochi Army main camp, having heard the commotion during their duel, and will charge at the main camp. Upon their defeats, Musashi will escape while Kojirō will defect to the Orochi Army, entranced by the deaths brought about by them.

With the Sakemi and Yadome garrisons occupied, the Orochi Army defeat the Shimazu and Tachibana armies. Mitsunari is unwilling to open the gates to his main camp, leading to Lu Su setting his camp on fire in order to drive him out. It is then that Sakon appears from the southwestern stronghold with reinforcements. Defeat Mitsunari and Sakon to win the battle.

Though the majority of the Toyotomi Army escape the battle, Mitsunari and Yoshitsugu are captured and forced to serve Orochi.

Unlocked characters: Cao Pi, Cao Ren, Zhenji, Yu Jin

Orochi sets out with Sun Quan in search of the Hero of Chaos, Cao Cao. His army is spotted at Yiling and so, the Orochi Army engages them in battle.

At the start of the battle, there are more Wei officers and the Orochi Army’s starting positions are mostly confined to their main camp in the northeast. Sun Quan will order the Orochi Army to occupy key positions where they will set up their cannons; Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai in the northwest; Zhang Liao and Wang Yi in the central island; and Yue Jin and Li Dian in the southeast. Once the key positions are occupied and the cannons begin firing, the battle continues as normal.

After the sorcerers in the Stone Sentinel Maze are defeated and Cao Cao appears at his main camp with ambush troops, Cao Pi will arrive with reinforcements. Defeat Cao Cao and Cao Pi to win the battle.

In the end, a crying Dian Wei takes his “deceased” lord away from the battlefield. Cao Pi, who was captured in the battle, surrenders Wei to the Orochi Army despite numerous Wei officers managing to escape capture.

Chapter 14: Battle of Mikatagahara 三方ヶ原の戦い

Ieyasu finds the Oda Army’s camp at Mikatagahara and the Orochi Army decide to head there.

Each of the garrisons around the battlefield, along with ambush units and reinforcement groups, will have at least three officers. Katsuie Shibata will be in the southeastern garrison, Toshiie Maeda is in the central garrison, and Nagamasa Azai and Oichi will appear alongside the Asakura in the north and northwest.

During the strategy where the player guides the sorcerers to the storehouse, the sorcerers’ tendency to attack every enemy that gets near them is removed, though the Oda ambush units will be stronger to counter it.

Chapter 15: Siege of Chang’an 長安の戦い (uses DW8 map)

Orochi Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Dong Zhuo, Motonari Mōri, Lu Lingqi, Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Kojirō Sasaki, Sun Shangxiang, Lianshi, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji Enemy characters: Tadakatsu Honda, Yoshimoto Imagawa, Yuan Shao, Nō, Kunoichi, Nene, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, Xingcai, Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, Ujiyasu Hōjō, Kai, Lady Hayakawa, Cai Wenji, Xu Zhu, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai

Throughout Orochi’s conquest of the land, various forces have either fallen into Orochi’s army or suffed annihilation. Larger kingdoms had enough strength to fight Orochi’s army, but smaller kingdoms couldn’t and so, they formed alliances with other kingdoms.

At the Battle of Edo Castle, an officer was absent from the Tokugawa Army – Tadakatsu Honda. Tadakatsu had been sent to survey the terrain of the land, but when the Orochi Army invaded, his army went into hiding. He eventually arrived at Edo Castle, but he was too late – it had already been occupied by the Orochi Army. Believing his lord to have died, Tadakatsu sets out on his conquest to defeat the Orochi Army at all costs. He makes refuge in Chang’an, a gateway between the worlds of China and Japan and sends a call to arms to anyone who has been displaced by the Orochi Army. Hearing of this, Orochi sends out Dong Zhuo and some others to test Tadakatsu’s strength.

Starting at Mingguang Palace in the northeast, the Orochi Army attacks in two directions. However, Ma Chao and the Xiliang Cavalry are barricading them in the north while Kunoichi and Nene launch a pincer attack in the square outside Changle Palace. Motonari suggests that they occupy the armory in the east and release the pyrocannons. Once the armory is occupied, Jia Xu suggests that they occupy Gui Palace and launch a pincer attack on the Xiliang Cavalry. Defeat Yuan Shao in Gui Palace, then defeat Ma Chao and his forces.

Lu Xun and Zhu Ran appear in the corridors around Gui Palace and set fire to it and Mingguang Palace. At the same time, remnant Wei and Hōjō forces arrive as reinforcements. Defeat Lu Xun and Zhu Ran to extinguish the flames, then defeat Yoshimoto Imagawa and conquer Weiyang Palace.

Tadakatsu Honda will be the final enemy in the southern garrison outside the rear doors of Weiyang Palace. When he is defeated, Tadakatsu will comment to the Orochi Army that they will meet again before he escapes.
