Help with saving Cao Ang and Cao Anmin

[blackhawk01x]

Hello.

I have a little, actually a big problem with this sidequest in the "Battle of Wan Castle"-Mission.
I tried searching for "how to save the two" and all the answers I found tell me, that they actually only should be in danger when I'm at the catle-gates...

Now my problem is, that in my tries they already get attacked/defeated when I'm in the first room with the ballistas... so absolutely no way to reach them with all the doors still closed to them...
I'm wondering if that is a bug, or are there any other prerequirements, so that this sidequest is working normal?

Don't you have to turn around to save them?

You can go though at the bottom of the castle and save both of them, there should be a door that will lead you into a castle which is near the exit gate where it will trigger a scene with Dian Wei's getting shot, just go enter there and save both of them before exit the gate.

If you want to save a lot of time, you can destroy the flaming statues by just ramming them with your horse. If you do that and just dash straight for them it should be fairly easy to do.

@Everybody do the flop:
I tried that, but the gate which is close enough to actually reach them in that situation seems to be one of the "never to open" ones.

@Nutkun:
Well, there my problem is. The sidequest 'should' trigger when I'm at the exit where the Dian Wei cutscene comes in. But it 'does' trigger when I'm not even close to that gate (the first room with the many ballistas, which is about half way to the normal trigger place)

@Kawalorn:
Thanks for the tipp, I will try the statues with the horse next time, hope this will fix my problem. ^^"

First time playing the map I killed pretty much everyone in the castle so I failed since it took far to long to get to them. Second time I just rushed past most enemies and killed only the ones I had to. All normal infantry was pretty much skipped and only the first big area was cleared since you have to do it. But just rush and you should be able to make it.

-Destroy flaming status
-While escort both of them, you still need defeat those Unit Commanders on your way
