Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 2.1: Shu Story A
In the initial conflict with Orochi, the Shu kingdom was defeated among others, with one of its officers, Zhao Yun, being held in Ueda Castle. This is the beginning of the story…
Initial characters: Zhao Yun, Xingcai, Yoshihiro Shimazu
Chapter 1: Battle of Ueda Castle 上田城の戦い

In a cell inside Ueda Castle, Zhao Yun is losing hope, when Zuo Ci arrived with Xingcai and Yoshihiro Shimazu, bringing news that Liu Bei is still alive. Zuo Ci helps Zhao Yun escape, then tells him to head towards the west towards the escape point.
As they pass the path leading to where Zhang Bao is being held prisoner, Xingcai will inform Zhao Yun about this. Rescuing him is optional; if you rescue him, he will join Zuo Ci in distracting the Orochi Army, but even if you don’t rescue him (or if he is defeated), he will still join you at the end of the battle, having managed to find the group.
Mamushi is moved next to Cottonhead outside the northwestern garrison and thus Ginchiyo won’t appear until you head there to trigger his line.
Zhong Hui is in the east of the battlefield. He and Deng Ai will have lines when Zuo Ci appears to engage Cao Ren.
Toyohisa Shimazu will appear to engage Yue Jin when you approach the southwestern garrison. Diaochan is the other officer that appears alongside Yue Jin, with Xing Daorong moved to the northeast of the battlefield.
The player can defeat Cao Ren or Zhang He to escape the battlefield.
