Walkthrough:  
#1. In my personal opinion, I think this battle is easier than last 
one. Move all of your units down, so cancel most of their orders (NOT 
Zhuge Liang's, since he has a mission to defeat Himiko. Note that if 
you just leaven Himiko there, after some time she will use magic to 
kill Liu Bei, and IT'S GAME OVER!!! So send Zhuge Liang to kill her. If 
you feel Zhuge Liang can't handle alone then send Ma Chao with him). 
Well, send Zhao Yun and Pang Tong (or other two generals) RIGHT IN 
FRONT of your supply compound. This way will lure ALL OF THE ENEMY 
UNITS to attack them. Move Huang Zhong to the VERY right bottom. Right 
after enemy units start to attack your units by the supply compound, 
send him STRIAGHT up (key word: STRIAGHT, I will explain why later). 
Send everyone else down to left to form a line by the entrance of the 
mountains. 

#2. Enemy will not have a full out attack, only five units will be 
attacking you. Xu Yun, Cao Ren, and Sima Yi will be guarding Cao Cao in 
the middle. Now, after you can see all or most of these five units, 
send Huang Zhong all the way to the up-right corner. The enemy supply 
compound is by the bridge near top-left corner (the first bridge if you 
look from right). Because Cao Cao and his guards are in the middle, if 
you send Huang Zhong directly to the supply compound, he will get 
caught. That's why I told you to send him straight up first then turn 
left to reach the supply compound. My guess is that after you can see 
all of the five enemy units, they will just attack or chill around Zhao 
Yun and Pang Tong (or whoever you sent by the supply compound) since 
they can't find anyone else to fight. Now send in the five units you 
sent down earlier, you will get the surprise attacks advantage by 
attacking from behind and you can easily win 'cause that's 7-on-5. 

#3. Now it's time to finish up the evil sorceress who used remote 
control in the year of 208 B.C. Anyway, forget what I just said, it was 
just a lame joke. Hu Zhi is guarding in front of Himiko's alter, by 
herself. Zhuge Liang will use his Arbalest when he gets close to Hu 
Zhi. Then use a couple rounds of magic to finish her up. Then you see a 
pretty cool sense once Zhuge Liang get to the ugly circle with lights 
around, I mean, alter. And that also solves your Liu-Bei-got-hit-by-
lightening-and-died problem. From the point you burn the enemy supply 
compound the battle should be easy. After you finish the five enemy 
units just move up and find Cao Cao. The rest should be easy task for 
you. 

And if you are playing this for the first time, CONGRATULATIONS, you 
beat Liu Bei's side!!! From now on you will be playing Cao Cao.

If you are playing on normal then you have one more stage to beat, so 
don't start the party yet.
