Episode 58
There is internal dispute in Baekje?
Internal dispute...
Your Majesty, we cant rush to judgment because of one letter.
But if they really surrender, it will be a great opportunity for Goguryeo.
It is possible there is internal dispute at Gwanmiseong.
We already Know Asin and Dae Yoseung are in disagreement.
It is true that I distanced King Jinsa and Asin.
But, we can't take this letter at face value.
Because of conflict between Dae Yoseung and Asin,
Asin is dead and his aides have been imprisoned.
This letter is a fake.
What?
The timing of the surrender, the content of the letter, the writing, etc.
It's all too perfect.
You mean it's to cause confusion?
-=Hwang Hoe=- You mean it's to cause confusion?
You mean it's to cause confusion?
Probably.
They will enter our camp and cause confusion or
surrender falsely and feed us fake information to damage us.
Rather than trying to figure out if it's true or not,
-=Sagal Hyeon=- Rather than trying to figure out if it's true or not,
You mean just pretend to accept their surrender?
Yes.
If we do, they will open the gate at the promised time to come out.
We can wait in ambush and attack.
Wait in ambush.
-=Yeo Seokgae=- Wait in ambush.
Wait in ambush.
Yes.
-=Mo Duyeong=- Yes.
-=Mo Duyeong=- We had many sacrifices, but we still couldn't open the gate.
It will be a great opportunity for us if they open the gate.
-=Damdeok=-
-=Damdeok=- I'll accept their surrender.
Send a message.
Tonight...
I'll wait and see.
I'll see if the south gate opens or not.
Your Majesty, please put me in charge of that attack.
You have my approval.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
-=Asin's office, Gwanmiseong=- Do you think they will respond the way we want them to?
They're anxious because their attacks have been failing for 15 days.
If they see a chance, they will take it.
They are the ones who wanted internal dispute in our court.
They provided us with good bait.
They'll be waiting for the gate to open.
-=Bu Yeohong=- They'll be waiting for the gate to open.
They'll be waiting for the gate to open.
The generals who will surrender have to leave through the gate.
We told them they would leave through the south gate and asked for protection.
Goguryeo will try to attack at that time.
-=Jin Mu=-
-=Jin Mu=- If things don't go as planned, they can just retreat.
If things don't go as planned, they can just retreat.
I will set a trap at the south gate.
Wait until as many Goguryeo soldiers as possible enters and attack at once.
Yes, my lord.
I'll get you.
Do you think they will really come out?
That's not important.
It's important that the gate opens.
There's the signal.
Let's go.
We've been tricked.
What?
-=Gurchin=-
I'm a target in the enemy camp.
Capture them all and kill anyone who resists.
Split up and stay close to the Baekje soldiers.
The best way to leave is the way we came.
Yeo Seokgae!
Gurchin!
Gurchin! Gurchin!
Wait!
The king of Goguryeo is coming to attack us.
I think he's trying to save the soldiers who were trapped.
We could have captured their leader if we moved faster.
Retreat!
- Gurchin! - Gurchin!
Gurchin!
Gurchin! Be careful.
Gurchin! Gurchin!
Where am I?
We made it out of Gwanmiseong. It's all thanks to you.
Darn.
That's good.
Stay awake.
My greatest merit is saving Sagal Hyeon.
I respect him as a general.
His Majesty cares for him.
He will praise me for what I did.
Gurchin!
Take good care of Ari.
I can't believe I'm leaving my sister to someone like you.
Don't worry about her.
Ari.
Gurchin!
- Gurchin! - Gurchin!
Gurchin!
Make way for His Majesty.
Gurchin, rest in peace.
After last night, it was a huge victory for us and a big blow to them.
That's how desperate they are.
We eliminated quite a few of the elite soldiers.
Our soldiers are high in morale.
It doesn't matter if it's Damdeok and how large an army he has,
this is Gwanmiseong.
It is an impregnable fortress.
Their morale has been completely crushed.
I'm going to hang Damdeok's head at Gwangmiseong.
I'm sorry to say this, but they stacked up the corpses of our soldiers.
It's to lower our morale.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, Seol Ji is back from Houyan.
I met the Mohe chief.
-=Seol Ji=- I met the Mohe chief.
Good job.
How did it go?
I'd like to tell you in private.
It's alright.
The leaders should know what's going on.
Houyan is a bit suspicious.
This came straight from the chief, Seol Doan.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan is planning to attack Goguryeo with Mohe, Khitan and Buyeo.
50,000 soldiers are ready to advance to Yodongseong.
Are you sure?
Yes, the information came straight from the chief.
Prince Murong Xi met the Mohe chief to offer a proposal.
Then we're in trouble.
Things aren't going smoothly here. If other countries attack us, too...
We're going to have to withdraw here and head over there.
The first country to benefit from our battle against Baekje is Houyan.
We have to end this battle as soon as possible and in victory.
End this battle as soon as possible...
A special measure is required.
I already said no!
But we only have two days left.
Find another strategy.
Right now!
What can I do for you?
What is your strategy?
Why is His Majesty so mad?
Tell us what it is.
We can't just sit around like this when Houyan is planning to attack.
It's one of the strategies I planned since I entered Baekje.
I materialized it after I came to Gwanmiseong.
There is going to be an eclipse tomorrow afternoon.
The tidal difference is the greatest when there is an eclipse.
You mean the high tide and the low tide?
-=Gal Samu=- -=Hae Mowol=- You mean the high tide and the low tide?
Yes, land will be exposed by the cliff during the low tide.
It will be the only chance to climb the cliff to Gwanmiseong.
Boats can't moor because of the current, but people can go since the tide is low?
Yes.
That's why I set that day as the one chance to attack Gwanmiseong.
The soldiers who enter can disguise themselves as Baekje soldiers.
One group can kill Asin and the other group can open the gate.
A joint attack during the eclipse.
It's a great strategy.
With our forces dispersed, they will be surprised.
That's right.
the soldiers by the cliff will be called to fight.
The defense will be weak.
The strategy will succeed, but the lives of the soldiers can't be guaranteed.
It's only possible if every last person fights to their death.
Yes, the men entering that way probably won't make it out alive.
That is why His Majesty opposed.
Sagal Hyeon.
How could you?
We won't send you alone.
Did you know?
Of course.
We have to go to take revenge for Gurchin and our subordinates who died.
We should ask for volunteers first.
We are going to enter Gwanmiseong.
We probably won't return.
I will only accept men who are prepared to give their lives.
Nobody will think badly of you even if you don't volunteer.
I will go.
I have to get revenge for our chief.
I will go, too.
The Khitan pays back in double what they receive.
That's right.
Right?
-Yes. -Right.
A debt should be paid back.
That's right.
It's better to fall off a cliff than to be shot by an arrow.
Byeongjin, you have a mother and child.
The country has to be protected for my family to life.
I will also go.
I don't want to be ashamed when I see the other men who died.
- I will go, too! - I will go, too!
Let's go together!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- I will go, too. - Me, too.
Let's all go together.
Let's all go!
Let's go!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
I can't guarantee that anyone will return alive.
If Gwanmiseong becomes Goguryeo territory because of what we do,
our names will be remembered here.
They will be remembered with glory!
I respect all of you for willing to give your lives for Goguryeo and His Majesty.
Cheongun will go all the way!
We will go all the way!
Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
What is the meaning of this?
Please kill me.
What are you talking about?
How could they?
Sagal Hyeon and Yeo Seokgae chose the path to death?
Don't you know they can't return alive?
You know that!
Gwanmiseong cannot be taken any other way.
If Sagal Hyeon and Yeo Seokgae don't go, it won't just be about their sacrifices,
it will put Goguryeo in danger.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Please reconsider.
Get out of the way!
Sagal Hyeon, Yeo Seokgae and Cheongun went to die without my order.
I can't just let my men die.
Get out of my way!
If they didn't go, someone else would have gone.
General Hwang Hoe, general Hae Mowol, general Mo Duyeong, general Mo Duru
and even Seol Ji came to see me.
They were all willing to go.
So you approved.
Are you willing to die for that?
Did you mean it when you asked me to kill you?
Your Majesty!
A general's greatest honor is to die for his king and country.
We live for that moment.
If I was him, I still choose the same path.
- Please consider that. - Please consider that.
I understand your intentions. I believed your loyalty.
With that passion, we will take Gwanmiseong.
We're going to divide into six groups and make a full force attack.
The reason for this is to attract the attention of the Baekje soldiers.
I will attack the east gate where Sagal Hyeon and Yeo Seokgae will be.
You're going to lead?
You will become a target.
Send me.
Please take a step back.
- I will go! - I will go!
Everyone shedding blood here is my family.
Our blood is the same.
Don't tell me to step back.
We have to fight.
We have to teach Baekje a lesson.
We have to show them that they are wrong.
Your Majesty!
It looks like Goguryeo is attacking again.
How persistent.
Asin fought last time.
I will crush them this time.
-=Dae Yoseung=- I will crush them this time.
My lord!
My lord, Goguryeo soldiers are attacking from six directions.
Six directions?
What are you talking about?
Something's fishy.
They've been attacking 2-3 places until now.
This must be their final attempt.
Gather all our soldiers and make a full force attack.
We'll come from behind when they get exhausted.
Gwanmiseong is a big fortress.
We might not have enough military power.
We can call the soldiers at the cliff.
You can't do that.
We don't know what strategy Goguryeo will use.
I am in place of His Majesty.
Refusing to obey my order is refusing an order by His Majesty.
-=Below the Gwanmiseong cliff=-
We took care of all the guards nearby.
I'll go after Asin.
Avoid the Baekje soldiers and open the east gate.
Ha Muji will plan a strategy based on that.
Okay.
Let's go.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
-=Gwanmiseong market=-
It's dangerous here.
I told you to take refuge.
-=Doyeong (*** Yeonsu's daughter)=-
There is an eclipse.
An eclipse?
It's an eclipse!
It's alright.
- Bu Yeohong. - Yes.
Won't the tide be low by the cliff during an eclipse?
Yes.
How many guards are at the cliff?
Most of them were moved to the gates and other walls.
Oh no.
That path is what Damdeok was after.
I'll send soldiers now.
It's too late.
The tide is coming in.
They probably climbed the cliff already.
Then?
- Jang Gongsa. - Yes, sir.
Find all the Goguryeo soldiers in the fortress.
and kill all of them.
Yes, my lord.
You should take refuge.
My lord.
Let's get to the command center.
Yes, my lord.
Let's go.
Let's take Gwanmiseong!
How bold of you to come this far with so few soldiers.
That is Asin, lord of Gwanmiseong.
Kill him!
Attack!
Chief! Chief!
Put your guards up!
Did you think you could take Gwanmiseong just by killing me?
Say that after you kill me.
How did they get through the gate?
I'm just bait.
The arrow was pointed somewhere else.
You!
My lord, you have to retreat.
We have reorganize our army.
Right now!
My lord.
Damdeok.
