This battle is fairly simple, you just need to be fast enough to take over garrisons to ambush Cao Xiu. Then it's just dealing with Sima Yi and his kids that show up later.
I'm playing as Ding Feng this stage, who is honestly really good. His weapon has a unique gimmick where you have to time the button inputs when starting a charge attack to increase the damage and make the attack waaaaaaay more powerful. He has some of the most broken moves in the game due to this, but they;re harder to pull off. I almost never play Ding Feng so every time I do play him I have to get used to the timing again to get the good charge attacks out. His grab musous his also really strong.
