King's Dream
While Su Dingfang delays the advance,
the Baekje army could reorganize and make a counterattack.
Why can't the two commanders trust each other?
Do they plan to give up the chance to bring Baekje down?
How about calling the commander back to comfort Su Dingfang?
You want me to have Yusin step down as the commander?
That seems to be the only way to make Su Dingfang advance to Sabi.
You can't do that.
You will be giving in to Su Dingfang's ploy to take command and
receive the surrender of the Baekje king.
We won't be able to conquer Baekje if the allied forces fight amongst themselves.
Please consider that.
Order the army to advance to Sabi and take the palace.
If they can't convince Su Dingfang by tomorrow
and the advance to Sabi is delayed,
I will have Yusin take full responsibility and strip him of the commander position.
Make sure Yusin understands that.
Your Majesty, are you really going to take away Yusin's command?
One wrong decision decides a victory and a failure.
If Yusin and Su Dingfang maintain hostile relations,
we will have to fight the Tang army before advancing to Sabi.
Then we can forget about conquering Baekje.
The allied forces will self-destruct.
I will not let the alliance be broken.
Father, the commander lived all his life for the unification of the Three Kingdoms.
If you take away his cause, he will lose reason to live.
He will not be able to say he is a loyal servant.
Please don't step on his loyalty.
I know Yusin is very loyal.
But Baekje must be conquered.
If Yusin abandons the cause of the alliance and causes division,
I have to make a decision as the king.
Tang camp
Why is the Tang army refusing to advance to Sabiseong?
An assassin tried to kill the supreme commander last night.
Until we know whether the assassin was sent by Baekje or Silla,
we will not advance to Sabi.
As assassin sent by Silla?
How dare you say such a thing?
She confessed she was Gyebaek's servant.
How can we believe that?
How dare you?
You're the ones who held a banquet and brought gisaengs to the camp.
Why are you blaming us?
However it happened, until the truth is found,
the supreme commander will not advance to Sabi.
Uncle, if Su Dingfang continues to refuse advancing because
he wants command of the allied forces,
I don't know what we'll do.
You have to make a decision.
If we don't advance to Sabi today,
His Majesty is going to strip him of the commander position.
What?
Is that true?
The pro-Tang factions are probably urging His Majesty to do so.
If I let Su Dingfang take command, will they advance to Sabi?
Su Dingfang is refusing to advance because he wants command,
but it's also because of a sign from this morning.
What sign?
A white crow has been crying since early morning.
According to that, if we attack Sabiseong, Su Dingfang will meet a disaster.
They believe it's a sign for a great defeat.
The Silla army is ready to advance.
Why are you so full of leisure?
A veteran general like you wouldn't have been threatened by an assassin.
Did you receive a bribe to delay the advance?
What?
I want to advance right now and receive the Baekje king's surrender.
I'm only waiting because of a bad sign.
Do you mean the white crow?
Yes.
A white crow is a bad sign.
That's why he is being prudent about the next move.
You can't go to battle because of a white crow?
Whether I believe it or not, the soldiers consider it to be a bad sign.
We couldn't achieve a victory with soldiers who don't want to fight.
How can a small creature like that stop our cause?
The soldiers believe that white crow is Gyebaek's soul.
If you're that afraid of that bird, I will wash away all your worries.
Give me an arrow.
Oh...
What are you doing?
I defeated Gyebaek and his death squad of 5,000.
Why should I fear the soul of a dead man?
You wanted my discipline officer's head because we didn't arrive on time.
Why are you delaying our advance?
Anyone who lowers the morale of the allied forces with absurd excuses
and tries to delay our advance,
I wil take it as an act that benefits our enemy and kill them.
What will you do?
Will you advance to Sabiseong or will you give more excuses?
The Silla-Tang army is advancing to Sabiseong.
How can we defend against them?
The best thing to do would be to keep the gate closed.
If we continue to bribe Su Dingfang, they won't try so hard.
We should be able to stop them until reinforcements arrive from Goguryeo.
It is military strategy to guard the gate when the number of soldiers is small.
The Tang soldiers will be tired from their long boat ride.
The Silla soldiers will be exhausted from fighting Gyebaek.
Kim Yusin and Su Dingfang are hostile to each other.
If we attack first, we should be able to achieve a victory.
Are you confident of a victory?
If you are defeated again, you will have to give your life.
They wouldn't expect us to attack first.
I will give my life for a victory and defend Baekje.
You are the crown prince indeed.
I will pray for a victory.
Heavens who created Baekje.
I will give everything I have to protect the royal family and court
and take care of the people.
Help us drive away the Silla-Tang army that is shedding blood on our land
so we may achieve prosperity for Baekje.
Bless the crown prince and the generals who are going to battle.
If we advance straight to Sabiseong from Soburibeol,
we should be able to take the fortress today.
Soburibeol...
Wouldn't it be better to go by water?
If the Baekje army attacks, they will want to fight at Soburibeol.
If we divide the soldiers and attack from all directions,
we should be able to defeat them.
Do you think the Baekje army would attack first?
They'll hide in the fortress until reinforcements arrive from Goguryeo.
We can advance quickly then.
It's always best to be prepared.
The Silla army will go to Soburibeol.
If you don't want to go, advance to Sabiseong by water.
We can rendezvous outside Sabiseong at night.
Soburibeol...
10,000 soldiers of Baekje led by the crown prince are advancing to Soburibeol...
Your prediction was right.
Fine. Take the lead.
We will support you from both sides.
Soldiers of Baekje!
We will follow the king's order and defeat the Silla-Tang army
to protect the fate of Baekje!
Loyal soldiers of Silla!
This will be the last fight in conquering Baekje.
We will receive the king of Baekje's surrender.
The blood you shed today will save the people of the Three Kingdoms.
Fight without fear!
Attack!
What general could defeat Kim Yusin?
Give the order to attack.
The Tang army will also attack the Baekje army.
Attack!
Kill them all!
On October 10, 660, 10,000 soldiers of Baekje fought the Silla-Tang army at
Soburibeol which is presumed to be today's Buyeo.
The soldiers of Baekje fought bravely,
but couldn't defeat the 180,000 soldiers led by Kim Yusin and Su Dingfang.
It is recorded that they all died.
Are the heavens abandoning me and Baekje?
Your Majesty, Baekje hasn't fallen yet.
You should flee to Ungjinseong before the Silla-Tang army surrounds Sabiseong.
I will fight them with whatever soldiers we have left.
The soldiers who were to defend the capital all died.
What's the use of taking refuge?
Go to Ungjin and wait for the Goguryeo army.
Sabiseong is an impregnable fortress.
If we keep the gate closed, they won't be able to take the fortress so easily.
Yes, Your Majesty, do that.
I dreamt of prosperity for Baekje and ruling the Three Kingdoms.
How could this happen?
Your Majesty, our army defeated the Baekje army at Soburibeol.
The king of Baekje fled to Ungjin with the crown prince.
Your dream to conquer Baekje will come true soon.
We can't relax yet.
The Goguryeo army is heading south
and the Baekje soldiers in the border area can still fight.
Order the soldiers to get ready for battle.
I will receive the Baekje king's surrender before they reorganize.
The Baekje army was annihilated by the Silla-Tang army.
The fate of Baekje is in danger.
The Silla-Tang army will attack Goguryeo after Baekje falls.
What should we do?
The generals of Baekje fought when they should defend the fortress and
defended the fortress when they should fight.
That's what caused their destruction.
Our soldiers crossed the Baekje border and are heading to Sabiseong.
They will save Baekje's fate.
Will the king of Baekje be able to hold out until our soldiers arrive?
He lost public sentiments because of pleasure and extravagance,
but he led Baekje to prosperity at one time.
He will not surrender to the Silla-Tang army.
We entered Baekje. Where are the Baekje soldiers?
Really.
Why did Goguryeo soldiers cross the Baekje border?
We are here with the king's order. We came to save Baekje.
Sabiseong is in danger. Take us to the capital.
Anyone who surrenders will be spared of their lives.
Anyone who resists will be killed.
Show respect to the king of Silla.
Return to Pyeongyang and tell your king.
I sent an army to conquer Baekje because the king of Baekje
abandoned the cause for peace and made the people suffer from battle.
If Goguryeo helps Baekje,
I will advance to Goguryeo after the king of Baekje surrenders.
I will take Pyeongyang and punish the king of Goguryeo and the mangniji.
Escort them to the border and let them go.
If we let them go, won't Yeongae Somun send more soldiers?
This is to show that we are prepared.
I will go to Sabi before reinforcements arrive and receive surrender.
His Majesty drove away the Goguryeo soldiers who were heading south.
He is on his way to Sabi.
We must receive the king of Baekje's surrender before he arrives.
Uncle, I will go to Ungjin and bring the king of Baekje.
Give me your approval.
You have to cross rough mountains to reach Ungjin.
If they are waiting in ambush, you will be annihilated.
We should take Sabi and possess the palace first.
Then we can get the king of Baekje to surrender.
I checked out Sabiseong.
The fortress walls are high and the gate is strong.
It won't be easy.
The Tang army has equipment to break down the gate.
We will have to maintain close relations when we attack.
Send him a message saying we should attack tonight.
There is a rebellion at Sabiseong.
What? A rebellion?
So this is how it feels to sit on the throne.
Tae!
Why are you sitting on father's throne?
Did you send father and the crown prince to Ungjin to start a rebellion?
I took the throne to save the fate of this country.
What?
Father lost the will to protect the fate of this country.
The crown prince recklessly went to battle to please father and was defeated.
I am going to unite the soldiers and people of Sabiseong and
be a ruler who fights the Silla-Tang army.
We are going to abide by His Majesty.
Boksin, you, too?
I asked him to take the throne so we could fight the Silla-Tang army.
Abide by my wishes.
If you refuse, you will be punished for refusing a royal order.
Is the fate of this country over?
Prince.
What are you doing here?
The crown prince of Silla has a message for you.
The crown prince of Silla, Beopmin, has a message for the crown prince of Baekje.
The king of Baekje killed my sister and the Daeyaseong lord.
He buried them in Sabiseong and caused us pain for 20 years.
The king of Silla didn't send an army because of a personal grudge.
He did so to retaliate against the king of Baekje who went against the heavens.
Sabiseong is on the verge of being surrounded.
The prince sinned against the heavens by taking the throne during battle.
He upset the heavens and the fall of Baekje will not be prevented.
Do not cause sacrifices of innocent lives and surrender.
The king of Silla will forget all grudges
and show benevolence to you and the people of Baekje.
You should surrender to the crown prince of Silla before they attack Sabiseong.
If the Tang army takes Sabiseong,
they will burn the palace and the people will suffer.
Please think of the people.
I am the oldest son of the royal family. How can I surrender?
Even if Sabiseong is defended,
you were part of treason and your life will not be spared.
You must make a decision before the Silla army attacks tonight.
What are you thinking about?
If the Tang army fights the Silla army, could we win?
What? What do you mean?
The emperor ordered that we attack Silla after Baekje surrenders and
to make Silla a colony of Tang.
If we're to do that, we have to kill Kim Yusin.
Will we be able to defeat Silla?
We are higher in number,
but Kim Yusin, the crown prince and the Silla generals are great fighters.
The Silla soldiers are elite soldiers who are well disciplined.
It won't be an easy fight.
I agree.
But if we put them in the lead in this attack to weaken them,
we should have a chance.
That's a good plan.
Put the Silla army in the lead.
Supreme commander!
The crown prince of Baekje is surrendering to the crown prince of Silla.
What?
The oldest son of the royal family should defend the country.
Aren't you ashamed to face all the soldiers and people who died?
I'd like to kill you for betraying your country,
but I will be generous since you want to prevent innocent sacrifices.
I will carry your grace to my grave.
Take him away.
He is an enemy, but it doesn't feel good to see him shed tears like that.
It could have been the other way around if the Baekje army
advanced to Seorabeol and took Wolseong.
I would fight to the end.
I would not humiliate myself by surrendering to the enemy.
The prince of Baekje surrendered.
The Baekje soldiers will have lost their will to fight and the people will waver.
We will attack Sabiseong tonight and take the palace.
Commander.
The Tang army is breaking down the gate of Sabiseong.
What?
Why did he attack without telling me?
We can't stay here.
Give the order to attack before the Tang army takes the palace.
Your Majesty!
The Tang army is attacking the gate.
Go to the gate and encourage the soldiers.
We will protect you with our lives.
It's too late.
The soldiers lost their will to fight because Yung surrendered.
I will not fight a battle we can't win.
We can't lose the capital like this.
I am going to open the gate and surrender to Su Dingfang.
Leave Sabiseong and protect father.
The prince of Baekje, Bu Yeotae, surrenders to the emperor of Tang.
Please accept my surrender.
As the supreme commander of the Silla-Tang army,
I accept your surrender.
A day after king Uija fled to Ungjinseong,
Bu Yeoyung surrounded to Beopmin and Bu Yeotae surrendered to the Tang army.
Sabiseong was taken.
It was 123 years after king Seong of Baekje moved the capital to Sabiseong.
After Baekje surrendered, the Tang army plundered the people.
Without a royal family and court to protect them,
the people of Sabiseong were sacrificed by acts of brutality.
Women took their lives to avoid being violated.
The prosperous culture of Baekje was crushed by reckless killing and arson.
Form a list of Baekje's treasures to be offered to the emperor.
We have to take everything back to Changan.
Commander, welcome.
I was going to call for you.
Listen!
Our cause was to save the people of Baekje from a tyrant.
Why are you plundering the people?
You received an imperial order from the emperor.
Why are you acting like a leader of bandits?
What?
Tell your soldiers to stop plundering and setting fires.
If you don't, I will kill them and set military order and discipline straight!
The soldiers were exhausted from the long boat trip.
I was only trying to raise their morale, but I guess that upset you.
I will tell them to refrain.
Since the king of Baekje surrendered to me,
I am going to hold a banquet to celebrate our victory.
I hope you will attend.
Bu Yeotae isn't the king of Baekje. He is just a leader of traitors.
There will be no celebration until we receive Uija's surrender.
How dare he?
How dare he insult me like this?
You did a good job of enduring.
I will kill that arrogant man and the crown prince of Silla.
Mom!
Mom.
Mom...
I didn't come to battle to see this.
Uncle, I will make Su Dingfang and the Tang soldiers pay for this.
Mom!
Don't cry.
I will get revenge for your mother.
Sabiseong is burning and the people are dying?
How am I to make up for all this?
This happened because I didn't listen to a loyal servant like Seongchung.
I don't qualify to be the ruler of Baekje.
Your Majesty, be strong.
They might have taken Sabiseong, but if you fight here,
loyal soldiers and people will fight the Silla-Tang army.
He's right.
The mangniji of Goguryeo will send reinforcements.
I will protect you until then.
I can't let more innocent people be sacrificed.
I will go to Sabiseong and surrender.
Father!
Your Majesty, think of the loyal soldiers and people who died for Baekje.
Please reconsider.
Heaven abandoned me and Baekje.
I will surrender and prevent innocent sacrifices.
That is fulfilling my last duty as the ruler.
The king of Baekje is here to surrender.
Please allow the royal family and court of Baekje to surrender.
I will accept your surrender for the emperor of Tang.
You will kneel and bow to the emperor of Tang.
You will beg for forgiveness for causing battle and defying the emperor.
Stop!
I will not allow the king of Baekje to surrender.
Why are you trying to receive his surrender before the king of Silla?
You must wait for His Majesty to arrive in Sabiseong.
The emperor sent an army for the peace of the Three Kingdoms.
He is waiting for the king of Baekje to surrender.
How dare you make him wait?
If he knew how long the king of Silla waited to conquer Baekje,
the emperor won't mind.
How dare you say such a thing?
Apologize right now.
You are the one who has to apologize.
If the emperor of Tang is
concerned about the safety of the people of the Three Kingdoms,
before rushing to receive surrender,
you must punish the soldiers who killed the people of Sabiseong.
The king of Silla will punish you for that after he receives surrender.
What?
You dare to punish soldiers who received the emperor's order?
I can't take it anymore.
Let's kill them and receive the king of Baekje's surrender.
I am here to receive the king of Baekje's surrender.
Oh!
Bring Uija.
I surrender the royal seal. Please accept my surrender.
Thank you.
We should kill Kim Yusin and the crown prince before we fight the Silla army.
Baekje is already a colony of Tang. You didn't know that?
Kill Kim Yusin and the crown prince!
