Battle of Fan Castle is probably the hardest stage on Aggressive AI mod.
The reason is that this stage requires you to solo an army of soldiers without any help from allies. For example, you need to:
1. Defeat Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren
2. Defeat Gate Captains to prevent soldiers from infinitely spawn

Normally, fighting against large crowds wasn't critical of a problem. For example:
1. You can lure them to your allies and swarm them to make them taste their own medicine
2. You can "hit-and-run"; if fighting the big crowd is risky, we can try chipping away few enemies at a time and run away. It may take time, but it's a solid strategy.
However, none of the above works in Fan Castle.
The reason is
1. the time limit and the time pressure (e.g. you can't waste a single second when Shu soldiers started defecting)
2. The number of our allies soldiers in this map are very little

On Aggressive AI mod, the fastest way of killing soldiers is to break their guards. We can equip our character with Power Rune and Herbal Remedy, and then use our strongest charge attack. This way, most peons won't be able to guard your attacks.

On the other hand, in Aggressive AI + No Guard Breaks challenge (like in this video), enemy guards are unbreakable.
In that case, there's no other faster way to kill soldiers quickly than parrying/countering their attacks.
Yes, as you had seen in the video, it's very risky and sometimes unreliable.

Tips for Aggressive AI challenge:
1. Always fight alongside your allies whenever possible! In this mod, your allies are valuable resources. However, there is some stage (e.g. Battle of Fan Castle) that no allies can help you. In that case,
2. When fighting against crowds, parrying/counter is your best friend. If you could master parrying/countering the enemy, then surviving large crowds is totally possible.

This is my best run yet on Battle of Fan Castle.
I am still so far from clearing it.... Hopefully I will be able to clear it one day.
