I don't own DW/ROTK, or its characters

Sideways- Well I think I understand what your saying, I was just messing with you.

WOE- thanks for the review, I don't plan on starting any more fictions till I am done with this one, which I think will not before at least 5 chapters.

Jiang Wei looked down into the field that was below him, it was a flat field with lot of high grass, but not tree on it at all, and a small river going to the building on the other side. On the other side of the field stood the a large stone wall that stretched out for over mile, and was over 20 feet in high, with it walls made up of white stone, and the gates made up of iron. On top of the walls were areas that were designed for protection for archers, and catapults. Also above the first wall was a higher second level which went up another 20 feet. It all was just a massive thing to see for anyone, and for Wei who had grown up where the biggest building were only around 8 feet tall, it was even more amazing. Wei felt like a small boy looking at the fort which was on there way to their target, it was said that Cao Cao's young advisor, Sima Yi. Who predicted that this would be the route of the future attacks on their forces? Wei was amazed that he was able to predict the future so well, and wondered if he would ever be that good.

Wei felt a light tap on his right shoulder, and turned to see Zhuge Liang an man who had shown him a lot about war, and art of war. When Wei looked at Zhuge he was always amazed at how he always looked so noble in his white robe, and how he always had a plan ready for any problem. Wei knew that Zhuge was going to be his choice to study under. He did enjoy the randomness of Pang Tong, but he just felt like he could learn a lot more from Zhuge.

"Well Wei, it looks like it is time for your first battle, remember your goal for this battle," Zhuge said to his pupil.

"Well, yes, I am to protect the catapults, and rams as they act, I remember," Wei said, "I am not sure though if I am up to such a task, wouldn't be better to give the task to someone like Guan Yu."

"No, it has to be you, I am sure that you are capable, plus I want you to pay attention to everything, cause their will be a day when Tong, and I are not leading this land, it will then be up to you to lead it as we have done," Zhuge said confidently.

"Yes, sir, I will do so," Wei replied.

"Well just be careful, I don't want to lose my pupil, now," Zhuge said with a smile before leaving to prepare the attack.

On a different part of the field, Fei, Ping, and Yu were looking over their troops, each was more then confident of victory with Zhuge, and Tong leading the battle. Fei was had been sitting and talking to everyone to avoid getting drunks, which had for once worked. Yu, had kept both Gai, and Ning busy the night before preparing things as to give his son, and lady sun some alone time. Now all three warriors were standing side by side each in his own way preparing himself for the battle.

"Now be safe, Ping, and Yu don't die, I don't want to be the last of us," he said referring back to the oath at the peach garden, that seemed like such along time for both men. He then left walking off to where his men were stationed. His job was to help Wei protect the equipment with Gai, and Ning.

"Ok, son it is time," Yu said deepening his voice, "Men assemble, now."

Seconds later, all of the men in the camps were in line before them with there leaders with them, Lady Sun came out of the tent she was in and calmly looked over to where Ping, and Yu were standing, both Ping, and Lady Sun were smiling at each when they came into eye contact. Guan Yu just shock his head as he though about the youths.

"Alright, I am ready to kick some but," Lady Sun said as she got up to the others.

"Alright me, the others are going to try to go into the front door are goal is to take the back way in, there is a follow the river in, and find a way though there got it, you were selected because you are the best, now lets move out," Yu said in his deep tone.

With that the men began their match to the river, soon also the rams and catapults began to move into range. It did not take long for the catapults to get into range, and they began a fire on the fort which began to return fire with their own catapults, though Ying ability to target the enemy's protected areas, cut down on return fire. Then as the Rams got closer to the wall, the arrows began to rain down on the men moving with the rams, that though killing a number of men, it was not stopping the rams. As death seemed to come to men around him Jiang Wei was amazed at the determination of the men who kept pushing on, despite horrible loses.

Near the riverside entrance, there was no fire from any archers. Yu hoped it was because they were worked about the rams, and not because they were waiting in ambush. Guan Yu signaled his men to use their grabbling hooks on the wall, climbing up the side of the fort. Guan Yu was the first one on top he saw a couple of scouts who were sleeping on their job. Yu quickly sent both of them to the next world. He smiled at his luck.

Once all of the men were on the first level the moved around quickly and came up from the side of the archers who had no chance, some got shot off, but the shot they got off were poorly aim, and missed. Guan Yu and his men crushed the archers that were there, and he sent Pings unit down to open the gate, which was unarmed. Soon all the men came matching in, and Guan Yu lead them personally to the door of the second level. When they got ramming logs up Guan Yu lead the men in ramming down the doors.

Guan Yu was still worried about something, it was all too easy. Guan Yu ran in the room, and found why it had been so easy; the outside of the room was filled with archers, all which opened fire on them. Their arrows cut through their men. Guan Yu was force to take cover behind a pillar. He then stuck up on one the archers and killed him. He then moved his way down the line take out archer after archer, it also seem that the tide was turning against the archer, that though still killing large amounts of men.

Guan Yu then heard the saw a large man cutting down man after man with his large ax. He noticed that the man was moving in on his son, and Guan Yu then moved faster then he ever had. He was able to get between the Ax, and his son, but he knew he was done, as the ax hit him dead on. Ping turned in shock at the man and cut him down with one slice of his large sword. When the others saw their leader dead the fight was over.

The area that was once the entrance to the second level was covered in blood. Ping looked at his father who was no dead, and just broke down, falling to his knees crying.

"Father you can't leave me, you can't your Guan Yu. Father what am I going to do with out you," Ping said as he cried.

Jiang Wei who had seen the whole thing was watching the thing with a combination of both awe of the great warriors sacrifice, and sorrow for the son's lose. When Zhang Fei saw the what had happened he just left not saying a word to anyone he past, he was going to really get drunk that night.

"So this is war, I known know that I must find a way to end this sadness," Wei said to himself.
