Generel!
Sir, Genera Li Wen sent a messenger.
All armies are standing by awaiting your command.
Any word on Dae Joyoung?
General Li Wen is making full efforts to locate him, but he is yet to be found.
This is baffling...
This is an important battle Dae Joyoung would not miss.
Where could he be hiding?
Why are you concerned? No matter where Dae Joyoung may be, they will fall apart
if we break through just one of the defense lines.
Sir, don`t hesitate.
Give General Li Wen an order to attack.
Yes!
All we have to do is to breakthrough any one of the defense lines, and we will have a clear path to Yingzhou.
But I`m still uneasy about Dae Joyoung...
Don`t worry, sir.
Even if Dae Joyoung is here, he can only protect one path.
You`re right, Hongpei.
I guess I`m getting over cautious with old age.
Order Li Wen to attack simultaneously from all fronts!
Yes, sir!
We must win...
We must win the first battle to dominate this war.
General!
The Tang army is moving into position.
They will launch a massive strike very soon.
-Alert the main force immediately. -Yes, sir.
-Go now. -Aye, sir.
General, we should join the main army now.
-I don`t intend to retreat to the main camp. -It`s much too dangerous to fight the enemy from here.
-Retreat to the main camp, sir. -You can take your men and go if you wish.
General!
I didn`t come to the advance base just for reconnaissance.
I came here to deliver a lethal blow to the Tang army command.
Then I will stay as well.
You don`t have enough men here to battle the Tang army.
You need all the help you can get.
Do as you wish.
Now listen closely.
We will leave here tonight and hide in the hills.
When the battle begins, we will move swiftly and furtively to the Tang command center and strike them at their heart.
Be thoroughly prepared.
-Is that understood? -Yes, general!
~Khitan Army Command Center~
What is this I hear about the advance guards still being at the advance base when the battle is about to begin?
You have to order them to retreat immediately. You`re supposed to lay down your swords!
They were given a retreat order, but Dae Joyoung is refusing to retreat. ~Shin Hong~
And there is no one left at the advance base right now.
What do you mean there`s no one left? You mean they`ve already been raided? ~Chulin~
No, Li Wen hasn`t attacked yet.
Then?
Dae Joyoung is carrying out a dangerous operation to gain recognition in this war.
-Is there anyone out there? -Tes, general! ~Li Kaigu~
Call Mimosa!
Mimosa should know where Dae Joyoung is.
I will go there and talk to him myself.
Please come in.
-What are you doing with a sword? -For self defense.
After all, we`re on a battlefield.
-Do you know how to use a sword? -No, but I would have.
had I known this day would come.
Then put it down.
You could hurt yourself if you`re not careful.
Same goes for brains.
I`ve seen many men fall victim to their own trick and lose their heads.
I`m glad you`re aware of that.
Where is General Dae Joyoung?
He retreated from the advance base, but hasn`t joined the main unit.
What kind of trick does he have up his sleeves this time?
Your enemy is Li Wen`s army beyond the battle lines, not us. ~Mimosa~
So what are you plotting behind our backs with the enemy right before us?
General Li Kaigu assigned General Dae Joyoung to spearhead the battle.
He is carrying out an operation to render worthy service, so please talk to General Li if there is any misunderstanding.
An operation to render worthy service? What is this operation exactly?
I`m afraid I can`t tell you.
Mimosa.
Put your faith in us.
We must gain recognition in this war in order to take our refugees with us.
More importantly, the Tang army is about to launch an all out attack,
If they should attack simultaneous on all fronts, there will be chaos.
We will preempt their attack tonight starting with General Wanrong.
Is this true?
You can`t fight a war without tactics and strategy.
Indeed you are brilliant!
Always a step ahead of the enemy....
We will launch a surprise attack on Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie. ~Sun Wanrong~
I will be commanding the battle personnally, so don`t breakaway from your position.
Aye, sir!
We will be dealing with an army twice our size.
If we fail to delivera fatal blow on the fist attack, we will be destroyed.
-Don`t forget that! -Yes, general!
~Tang Camp, Yingzhou~
-Pay attention, men. -Yes, sir!
Tomorrow, we will launch a simultaneous attack from all fronts.
Our army must be the first to ring in victory.
The leader of the mob blocking our path is named Sun Wanrong.
We will slay him without fail and reclaim our pride and honor.
General!
General, it`s a raid! The Khitan have attacked!
-What? You mean they preempted our attack? -Yes, sir!
Ring the drums and whistles and alert the troops immediately!
Yes, general!
This is just as well. I will go out there and bring back Sun Wanrong`s head!
-Move out immediately! -Yes, general!
It`s a raid!
Find their commans tent!
We must take Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie`s head!
General!
What happened?
They broke through General Ma`s army and they`re coming this way!
We grossly underestimated the Khitans... ~Zhang Xuanyu~
They are not the Khitans. They are Goguryeo-no, I mean they`re Dae Joyoung`s men.
What are you talking about? How could that be?
There is no mistake. It`s Dae Joyoung`s army bearing the raven flag!
The raven flag?Dae Joyoung?
Where is General Ma?
He is trying to hold back Sun Wanrong`s army.
They are after my head. Get my men together at once!
Yes, General!
Dae Joyoung?
Where did he come from out of nowhere?
What?
Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie`s army was attacked and defeated? And by Dae Joyoung`s army at that?
Idiots!
That`s where Dae Joyoung was hiding! ~Li Wen~
But there`s something very odd.
The report says that Dae joyoung was not among them.
What? Dae Joyoung was mot among them?
No, General.
The man that led the attack is named Gulsabiwu.
-Gulsabiwu? -General!
Sir, General Zhao Renshi`s army has been attack as well!
Darn!
So they want to beat us to the punch?
There is no need to be intimidated. Prepare to launch an attack!
Yes, general!
One more thing, sir....it appears the Khitan advance guards that attacked Zhao Renshi was led by Dae Joyoung.
What? Dae Joyoung again?
How could that be? Dae Joyoung`s army was in battle last night.
There is no mistake.
Every one of the advance guards were bearing the threelegged raven flags.
Who was leading the advance guards?
-His name was Heuk Sudol. -Heuk Sudol?
Damn it!
Find the commander! I must take his head!
I, Xue Jitou. will have the Tang commander`s head!
Don`t lay a hand on him!
-Bastard! -Heuk Sudol!
I got you covered! Find the Tang commander and kill him!
-We got you, general! -Thanks.
Let`s go!
Collect the commander`s flag first!
Here! Over here!
Didn`t you hear me?
I said I was going to kill the enemy leader!
No, I didn`t hear you.
You bastard!
Stop! Stop this!
Mogae, don`t stop me.
I`m going to take that bastards head instead!
Find let`s see what you got.
You are starting to get on my nerves anyway.
Stop! That`s enough!
Good work.
Rest assure His Majesty will know what you did today.
Darn! He was mine....
General!
General, it`s a huge victory!
Generals Mogae and Xue Jitou`s army routed Zhao Renshi`s army!
Who were the vanguards?
They were Goguryeoan soldiers led by Heuk Sudol and Gaepilsamun.
You see?
Dae Joyoung`s men are becoming heroes of each battle.
Why does that concern you? The soldiers are in soaring spirits.
Now is the time to get our troops together and drive Li Wen out!
-Is there still no word on De Joyoung`s whereabouts? -No, general.
Whatever Dae Joyoung is up to, it`s certain that it is going to benefit us.
General!
-We`re moving out! -Yes, sir!
General!
General Li Kaigu is finally making a move.
Then Li Wen will make his move as well. Once his soldiers move out, we need to enter their camp.
and locate their food supply.
General, let me take this mission.
Mapa, prepare what you need to burn down their food supply.
Yes, sir.
Let`s go!
General!!
The Khitan army is advancing towards us!
We`re up against Li Kaigu`s main force army.
If we defeat them, we can revive the other fronts in defensive positions.
We will leave a skeleton crew behind and move out to the front!
We have an overwhelming numerical advantage. Just drive them into the ravine!
That`s where we will obliterate them. Is that understood?
Yes, sir!
-Where is Li Kaigu? -I think he`s on the ridge, sir!
General, the Khitans are starting to enter the ravine. You should get above the ravine now, sir!
Yes, and we will wait for Li Kaigu.
Stay behind and drive them all into the ravine!
Yes, sir!
The tide of the war is turning in our favor!
Don`t fall back!
General, we`re in danger!
Li wen is nowhere to be found, and we are being pushed into the ravine!
We have to retreat. We don`t have a choice.
No! I will not retreat!
We`re dealing with an army many times our size!
Give them a retreat order before we lose anymore men!
Li Wen! Where are you, Li Wen?
The soldiers are dying! Give them a retreat order!
I don`t believe this!
I, Li Kaigu, can`t be defeated by Li Wen!
General!
General, there are flames rising from the enemy camp!
Is this true?
Where did you see the flames?
It`s a huge fire you can see from anywhere along the ridge!
It`s got to be their food storage.
-Their food storage? -Who is burning down their food storage?
It`s got to be Dae Joyoung and Geom.
General!!
What is that smoke rising from our camp?
The main camp is on fire,sir!
The main camp?
But our provisions are in the main camp!
I`m sorry,general.
Our food supply has already gone up in smoke!
What are you talking about? Who attacked our camp?
General!!
It`s Dae Joyoung!
Dae Joyoung has captured our camp and destroyed our food supply!
What? Dae Joyoung?
Is it Dae Joyoung or is it his men?
It was from a distance, but I saw him with my own eyes.
It was Dae Joyoung waving the raven flag!
Darn it!
We have Li Kaigu in the palm of our hands, and now he will get away because Dae Joyoung!
We could`ve destroyed the entire Khitan army by morning!
General, there is no time!
If Dae Joyoung and Li Kaigu come at us from both sides, we will be trapped with nothing to eat!
We came so close., and Dae Joyoung has ruined us!
Dae Joyoung has ruined us again!
Remove the Tang flags in the camp and replace them with the raven flags.
Yes, sir! Come!
General, countless Tangsoldiers have fled the camp. We should send a pursuit team, and...
Let them go.
And keep a tight rein on you men so that the captured prisoners are not killed in haste.
Yes, sir.
-What`s the situation at the battle? -Li Wen`s men began to retreat.
General Li Kaigu is in pursuit, so they won`t be coming back here.
We will be staying here for a while.
I knew we would, so I sent for Gulsabiwu and Heuk Sudol to join us here.
Good.
Congratulations, sir.
This is your victory.
This is not my victory alone.
I dare say that it is, general.
The raven flag of Goguryeo was behind every victory that was won.
You`ve risen above Khitan with their battle with Tang as your pedestal.
So this is your victory alone.
This war is far from over.
This was only the first obstacle.
It was the most importan and difficult obstacle, and you have come through.
General,
-we just received a report from the advance force. -Did Li Wen fail as well?
Well, um...
-And it`s Dae Joyoung again? -How did you know?
It`s the unseen what ultimately got us! ~Xue Rengui~
What`s worse, their provisions were burned down as well.
What? The provisions?
-Dae Joyoung raided the food storage... -What were those idiots doing? ~Hongpei~
How could they let this happen? Were they fighting blindfolded?
Oh, I know....
Battles can be won or lost, but how could they lose their food supply?
How are they going to continue this war with no food to eat?
Please calm down, sir.
I knew I couldn`t trust them! I should`ve gone myself!
The troops have retreated quite a distance away from Yingzhou. Perhaps we should call the back to regroup instead of sending provisions.
No, it`s shameful to back down after you`ve unsheathed your sword.
Call back the troops that left for battle in high spirits? I`d be humiliated!
General....
This is not a defeat against the Khitans. This is a defeat agains Dae Joyoung!
The great Tang army`s been crushed by that little rat Dae Joyoung!
Your Majesty,
I, Li Kaigu, Sun Wanrong and our brave generals have returned triumphant against the Tang army.
I received every one of your reports with delight! I`m proud of you. ~Li Jinzhong:Khitan King~
It is your Majesty`s virtue and glory!
Your Majesty, your grace is infinite!!!!
Where is Dae Joyoung?
General Dae and his men are stationed outside Yingzhou Fort.
They are the heroes of this battle.
They must be praised, and they must share the joy of victory with us.
Call them in immediately!
The Tang army has been driven back for now, but we are still at war.
It won`t be bad idea to keep them stationed outside the Fort. ~Sun Wanrong~
No!
I will not ignor this meritorious achievement!
Send food and wine to his men and praise them for their feat!
And dispatch a messenger to bring General Dae to the palace!
Geumland, I`m impressed!
Now it`s your turn, Gaepil.
Drink up. That`s enough. They both have had enough to drink,
Come on, Biwu, this is a contest.
What are you waitin for, Gaepil? Drink up!
I guess you`re not an ordinary woman.
-Tungso, we need a bigger cup. -Yes, sir.
Will this one do?
Fill it to the top!
This is how a real man drinks.
Top that, girlie.
You don`t have the stomach to hold that much liqour.
Wow. that`s impressive! Where did all that wine go?
I`m the Wolf! The Wolf of Mt.Madu!
Have you ever seen a wolf lower his tail after a few drinks? Have you? Have you?
What the...
What`s she doing?
Put that down, Geumlan.
Good heavens!
-Tungso! -Yes?
Bring the whole barrel!
General, that`s a bad idea.
Forget it, Gaepil.
It would be humiliating to die from overdrinking after surviving a death defying battle.
No one`s going to die!
-Do you know who I am? -Yeah, you`re the wolf.
The Wolf of Mt. Madu.
-We all know who you are, so that`s enough already. -Geumlan, watch this!
This is how a wolf drinks!
General!
-No! -General!
Curse! Gaepil! Danm it!
-General, wake up! -Out of the way!
Gaepil, are you all right?
-General! -Geumlan....
Blasted idiot....
I will never forget what you`ve done for us.
The war has just started. It`s too soon to discuss rewards.
This battle has shown me what you are capable of.
I`ve seen what Dae Joyoung and Li Kaigu can do with combined strenght!
They will attack again as soon as they have regrouped.
We may have won this battle, but we must not underestimate the enemy.
That`s why I insisted on seeing you.
General Dae.
My biggest concern right now is Xue Rengui picking up the sword himself.
Most of Khitan warriors are afraid and intimidated by Xue Rengui.
And it directly affects their morale.
Yes.
Khitans revered him as their master for a very long time.
You`re the only one I can turn to for help.
See this through with us.
I can`t imagine fighting this war without you.
-His Majesty is still alone with Dae Joyoung? -Yes, general.
A fresh tray of refreshments were taken in just now.
This is a problem.
His Majesty is relying too heavily on Dae Joyoung.
The Tang army will soon launch another attack. ~Li Kaigu~
His Majesty is just trying to protect the country.
Dae Joyoung will never walk the same path we are on. ~Shin Hong~
No, but we are in the same boat for now.
We must join hands with him if only to defeat the Tang Chinese.
General!
I`ve done a lot of thinking in the last few days.
In the interest of Khitan`s future, there is no reason why we shouldn`t join hands with Dae Joyoung
we may become enemies again later.
In fact, we have to do whatever it takes to keep him with us.
If that is how you feel, I will abide.
But don`t forget for a moment that Dae Joyoung is your enemy.
How could I ever forget what his father has done to my father?
Here have another drink.
It`s late.
--Please retire and rest for the night. -No, we shall drink all night.
and watch the morning sun together.
I`ve been watching you for a long time.
I can remember like it was yesterday how you fought to save the people when Pyongyang Fort fell.
I am still indebted to you for what you had done for us then.
You don`t know how happy I am that we`ve met again as friends.
The feelingid mutual.
I want to maintain a good relationship with you to the end.
We must erect a new state once all of the scattered Goguryeoan refugees are brought back together.
Help us to build a new Goguryeo when the time comes.
You go it.
I give you my word I will repay this debt of gratitude.
Dae Joyoung and Li Kaigu have establish an alliance...
We must break this alliance for us to have a fighting chance.
Sir, I busted my head trying to think of a way, but it`s an impossible task.
-Please go to bed now. -Hongpei.
I can`t be defeated in this war.
I will not be able to rest in my grave. ~Xue Rengui~
GENERAL...
I must think of a way.... I must!
Dae Joyoung made this alliance to save the Goguryeoan refugees in Yingzhou. ~Hongpei~
He would never break this alliance with the lives of his people at stake.
You can leave.
The refugees?
Hongpei, grab that pen right now!
Yes?
And write this down word for word! Now!
Who is this?
We found a suspicious boy with no ties in Yingzhou.
What is your name?
-My name is Dan. -Dan?
What are you doing here?
I`m here to find my father.
And who is your father?
General Dae Joyoung.
General Dae Joyoung?
General Dae is you father?
Yes.
Father, your son, Dan, bids you humble greetings.
What brings you al the way to the front?
I`ve come to see if I can be of any assistance to you. ~Dan: Dae Joyoung`s son~
-You`re not a child anymore coming all the way here alone. -I can hardly recognize him.
He`s grown man, Joyoung!
How is your mother?
And your aunt? Is she doing well?
Everyone is well back home.
I`m sorry for the trouble this has caused.
No, don`t worry about it.
General!
General, Xue Rengui has sent a messenger.
A messenger?
A messenger of an enemy state should go to Yingzhou.
No, he is here to see you, general.
-To see me? -Yes, general.
Send him in.
General Xue Rengui sends a letter to General Dae Joyoung.
For what reason?
General Xue hopes that you will not interfere with this war.
Be on your way!
We will fight to the end against Tang`s greed and ambition!
He will give you everything you want.
Everything I want?
Once Yingzhou is captured, he will not only release the Goguryeoan refugees in Yingzhou, but in the entire country of Tang.
Hand over the letter.
This is unheard of!
This is a war between Tang and Khitan!
If you are a messenger, you should see the King of Khitan!
We`re not interested in the Khitans.
Please open the letter.
Like I said, if you leave the Khitan and choose Tang, you will have everything you....
Silence, you bastard!
What have you done?
You mustn`t betray the Khitans! You must neve!
