The Battle of Sishui Gate (汜水関の戦い, rōmaji: Shisuikan no Tatakai) was one of the first in a series of battles to topple the tyrant Dong Zhuo. In the novel and the games, Sishui Gate and Hulao Gate are treated as two different locations. The games make it a likely adaption of the Battle of Dagu Gate, where Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu in a more southern location.

In the novel and games, it is the notable battle where Guan Yu made himself well-known in terms of presence, as he was often said to be the one famous for slaying Hua Xiong, who was guarding the gate at the time.

Role in Games[]

Dynasty Warriors[]

In the second and third installments of Dynasty Warriors, the gate is mistranslated as "Fan Shui Gate" in the Western ports, while the Asian script still refers to it as Si Shui Gate. During the battle, Yuan Shu's ire for Sun Jian causes him to not provide aid, while Lu Bu assaults Yuan Shu's forces. Cao Cao and Sun Jian converge on the gate in two fronts, with Cao Cao taking a path that travels right onto the gate itself.

In the fourth game, Si Shui Gate becomes a stage separate from Hu Lao Gate, defended by Li Jue and Hua Xiong. The stage is part of the Xu Chang series of stages, along with Guan Yu's Escape and Xu Chang itself. The stage starts with Sun Jian making a position outside the gate's front, and Yuan Shu refusing to send supplies. If enough time passes, Sun Jian questions where the supplies are and Hua Xiong charges out for an assault. If the supply depot still isn't taken, Sun Jian will decide to retreat, and Yuan Shao will ask if anyone can defeat Hua Xiong, who will challenge you to a duel once you approach him. Defeating Hua Xiong will trigger a cutscene involving the player's character telling Yuan Shao that he has defeated Hua Xiong.

Defeating Fan Chou and Wang Fang in the north can trigger a cutscene involving the player's character finding the depot and opening the locked depot's gates. If played before Hu Lao Gate during Musou Mode, Sun Jian will have high morale or be less active, depending on whether he was forced to withdraw or not.

In the Dynasty Warriors 5 version of the map, Yuan Shu's forces are blocked from sending supplies due to an enemy base. Hua Xiong is the commander of the stage, often waiting past the gate instead of charging out himself. Lu Bu arrives as reinforcements on this stage, and Cao Cao is absent in the Allied Forces' version. In Dynasty Warriors 7 and Dynasty Warriors 8, Sishui Gate is placed within the same battlefield as Hulao Gate. In Xtreme Legends, Dong Zhuo's forces have to break through the gate, defended by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. In Dynasty Warriors 9, Sishui Gate acts as the first defensive barrier to Luoyang. Hua Xiong is positioned at Sishui Gate to protect it from the Allied Forces, but is defeated and surrendered. During Cao Cao's attempt to evacuate Emperor Xian, Sishui Gate becomes the site of another battle, as Yuan Shao attempts to break through it.

Warriors Orochi[]

The Si Shui Gate battle appears in Warriors Orochi as a dream stage for Nobunaga's forces. Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Okuni, and Zhang Jiao set out to stop shipments of gold from reaching Dong Zhuo. Ina and Lu Bu must be defeated before breaching the enemy's main camp. If all gold shipments are seized, Dong Zhuo will leave Orochi and join the Oda forces.

In Warriors Orochi 2, Cao Cao and his forces came to assist the Xiahou clan and defeat Lu Bu. while Lu Bu's huge army attack from the center, Xiahou Yuan take a shortcut to prepare a fire attack while Kunoichi and Xiahou Dun hold of the enemy attack. The fire attack was successful, and the enemy forces was defeated, so Lu Bu charge at Cao Cao, but was easily defeated. At the end of the battle, the Xiahou clan join with Cao Cao to prevent Orochi from reviving.

Historical Information[]

Historically, Sun Jian led the assault on the gate and slayed Hua Xiong, rather than Guan Yu. He also forced Lu Bu to retreat.
