Murong Xi.
Damdeok.
I'm finally going to get you.
How impressive.
There's nowhere for you to run.
If you put down your sword and kneel, I will spare your life.
Sheonyangcheng is surrounded.
Do you think I will surrender?
I won't give up until Goguryeo's three-legged crow hangs in Houyan.
What are you doing? Capture them.
Attack!
Your Majesty!
Damdeok!
Your Majesty, no.
An escape route opened up.
You must get out of here.
What about the other generals?
They're securing an escape route.
You must hurry.
We'll retreat for now.
Your Majesty.
What about the other soldiers?
They were surprised by the Houyan soldiers.
Our formation is ruined.
I'll take over here.
You can't do that.
While they focus on me, have all the soldiers retreat.
- But, Your Majesty. - This is a royal order!
- Ung Sim. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell general Hae Mowol and general Mo Duyeong to secure the south gate.
Have everyone retreat through the south gate.
But, Your Majesty.
I'll take over here. Go now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- The rest of you will come with me. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
Where is Damdeok?
He seems to have left the fortress.
What?
How can you say that?
What are you doing? Go after Damdeok.
Capture him right now!
Yes, Your Majesty.
He didn't leave the fortress yet.
I'm going to kill him myself.
Damdeok.
Ung Sim, have everyone retreat through the south gate.
Yes, sir.
Where is His Majesty?
He is fighting the Houyan soldiers.
Why did you leave him?
His Majesty didn't think we could defeat them.
He ordered that our soldiers be withdrawn safely.
You still should have put His Majesty's safety first.
His Majesty was right.
If we didn't find an escape route, we would have been annihilated.
When all the soldiers get out, set up an ambush.
Yes, sir.
Let's go and help His Majesty.
Let's do that.
- Come with me! - Let's go!
Let's go.
Your Majesty, an escape route has been secured.
The south gate?
Yes. You must hurry.
- What about our soldiers? - Many of them have already retreated.
Let's retreat.
Yes, Your Majesty. Follow me.
After them!
There aren't many men escorting Damdeok.
- After them! - Yes, Your Majesty!
After them!
The enemy is in front of us. After them!
Your Majesty!
Why did you return?
They are waiting in ambush.
Ambush?
How can that be?
The soldiers who escaped first must be waiting in ambush.
You must pull back our soldiers.
They are losers who fled from Sheonyangcheng.
There can't be many. Keep fighting.
Damdeok is among them.
No, Your Majesty.
We only brought an army large enough to capture Damdeok.
If we fight them now, you will be in danger.
We have to join the main army.
We don't have enough soldiers to fight them.
How can we lose him?
How?
Wait.
We barely lost them.
What are our losses?
We lost more than 20,000 soldiers.
We'll go to Daiyacheong.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Return to Daiyacheong!
Yes, sir!
Houyan command, Sheonyangcheng
We had the fortress surrounded.
How could we lose him?
Everyone was focused on you when you fought Damdeok.
We couldn't follow all our plans.
Are you saying it's my fault?
Please calm down.
Fortunately, they returned to Daiyacheng.
We still have plenty of opportunities.
Your Majesty!
Why didn't you bring reinforcements from Beiwei?
Where is the Beiwei army?
For some reason, they called us traitors and attacked us.
What?
Why would they attack the Houyan army?
I have no idea what's going on.
What about the Goguryeo soldiers who went to attack the Beiwei army?
We didn't see any Goguryeo soldiers.
What?
Did Beiwei betray us?
How can they betray us?
I ought to...
Give me more details.
As soon as they saw us, they called us traitors and attacked.
Your Majesty, Beiwei didn't betray us.
Goguryeo soldiers disguised as Houyan soldiers probably attacked them.
Beiwei though we betrayed them and attacked our soldiers.
You must send an envoy to clear up this misunderstanding and
ask them to send reinforcements again.
Damdeok!
I'm going to get him.
Goguryeo camp, Daiyacheng
Your Majesty.
I carried out your order.
Good job.
I received word it was a victory.
I heard about what happened at Sheonyangcheng.
Were you injured?
There was some chaos, but I'm alright.
That's very fortunate.
I was shocked when I heard.
Something like this won't kill me.
Nobody could dare to harm you.
There were many unnecessary sacrifices due to my mistake.
Anyone would have been tricked.
Don't worry about it too much.
That's right.
We didn't get Sheonyangcheng, but we're still winning.
That's right.
You became a target to save our soldiers.
You saved us from further losses.
The soldiers are touched that you tried so hard to save them.
Everyone is praising you highly.
We suffered some losses because of Houyan's ploy,
but this battle unified our soldiers more and strengthened their loyalty.
There will be no more defeat for the Goguryeo army.
One loss is enough.
We will have to be more prudent about future attacks.
I will take revenge for all the lives that were sacrificed.
Houyan command, Sheonyangcheng Our alliance with Beiwei was ruined.
Isn't that trouble for us?
An envoy has been sent. They will send reinforcements again.
They must.
We can't expect that right now.
The confrontation will just last longer unless we do something.
How about cutting off the Goguryeo army's supplies?
We already tried that.
We couldn't find their supply route.
We're going to have to fight them head on.
What?
They will think that we will only try to defend Sheonyangcheng since we are smaller in number.
So if we attack Daiyacheng...
Why would you do something so excessive?
To make them fall into a trap.
A powerful enemy has to be shaken up.
I have to see His Majesty.
What?
You want to attack first?
Yes, Your Majesty. This is Houyan territory.
Goguryeo wants a victory quickly.
It would be an advantage for us to raid them.
Will things go as planned?
The Sheonyangcheng battle went as we planned.
Understood.
What's important is that you have to do what Damdeok did.
You have to fight in the lead for all the focus to be on you.
Understood.
Goguryeo camp, Daiyacheng
There are several fortresses near Sheonyangcheng.
The Houyan army is at Sheonyangcheng to protect Sujuncheng and Longcheng.
They set a trap because that's how important the fortress is.
They will probably try to fight a full-scale battle at Sheonyangcheng.
Do you have another plan?
All the Houyan soldiers are at Sheonyangcheng.
We will go around and attack Sujuncheng, their supply base.
We have to take Sheonyangcheng to attack Sujuncheng.
Listen carefully.
There is something you are overlooking.
Reinforcements will be coming from our allies.
That's right.
We could achieve a victory if Biryeo attacks from behind.
Yeon Salta is bringing the Biryeo and Mohe allied forces.
The Houyan army will be sending many soldiers to defend the fortress.
We will have to fight a battle at Sheonyangcheng to distract them.
We have to concentrate all their attention on Sheonyangcheng.
If Sheonyangcheng is in danger, they will send all their forces.
Then defense at Sujuncheng will become weak.
That's when we should attack.
But our army could be in danger, too.
We have to risk that much.
Nobody will think we are going to attack Sujuncheng first.
If you think about that, there is a good possibility we will succeed.
We will have to hope the Mohe and Biryeo allied forces do well.
If we take Sujuncheng,
taking Sheonyangcheng and Longcheng is a matter of time
If we can buy enough time at Sheonyangcheng, it's a great strategy.
Your Majesty.
Houyan soldiers are headed here.
How large is the army?
It is a large army led by Murong Xi himself.
They're choosing a full-scale battle.
They're doing what we want.
All we have to do is fight them.
General Mo Duyeong and general Gal Samu, head for Sheonyangcheng.
Do it covertly while we fight the Houyan army.
Yes, Your Majesty!
You want to set up a counter ambush?
You'll have to send scouts before moving our forces.
You'll have to go around so they don't notice, so it will take time.
What's most important is that they don't know our movement.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Houyan command, Sheonyangcheng
Our predictions were right.
Goguryeo soldiers are headed to Sheonyangcheng.
They are advancing as expected.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We will have to send a unit to fight them.
Your Majesty, send me. I will stir them up.
Fine.
Go and fight.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go!
General Fengba, don't think of a victory. Think of it as teasing them.
Our goal is to lure them towards Sheonyangcheng.
Keep that in mind.
Okay.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir!
Your Majesty.
Goguryeo command, Daiyacheng
The Houyan soldiers are attempting a full-scale battle.
General Fengba is leading the army.
Fengba?
Your Majesty, send me.
It's Fengba. Are you confident?
Yes.
I could take him with my fist.
Please give me a chance.
Go ahead.
I will bring back his head, Your Majesty.
You entered Houyan territory without any fear?
Who would be scared of entering Houyan territory?
How much do you eat?
You pig.
What? Pig?
I'm ignorant.
I'll show you how scary I can be.
You're so scary.
I'll cut off your head and make you pay for entering Houyan territory.
You called me a pig?
- Retreat! - Retreat!
Advance!
Goguryeo command, Daiyacheng
Your Majesty.
General Yeo Seokgae achieved a victory and is chasing the Houyan army.
Pull them back right now.
It's a chance for us to win.
We should have other units stand by and go after them.
We can't be excessive yet.
- Commander. - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Pull them back now. - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Give the order now. - Yes, sir.
General! General!
What is it?
It's a signal to pull back.
Are you crazy? We're winning.
That's a signal to retreat.
What? Retreat?
I have to kill that snake.
Your Majesty.
I have returned.
It's all part of the strategy,
but general Yeo Seokgae's power is greater than Fengba.
Yes.
The soldiers are high in morale because of this victory.
Good job.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
But why did you tell us to retreat?
If you continued to go after them you would be dead meat.
How many times did I tell you they're trying to lure us?
What?
Oh, that's right.
I forget when I'm fighting.
Oh, boy.
The Houyan army will lure us into an ambush.
Don't chase them unnecessarily.
Don't forget that.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Send scouts out and be prepared for night raids.
Yes, Your Majesty!
General. General.
The Houyan scouts have been eliminated. You can begin.
Good job.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Let's go. Move.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
It looks like their number has reduced.
It has reduced by at least 20,000.
You're really quick.
Are you sure they suffered that much loss?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Generally, that's what it adds up to.
This isn't a general situation.
Houyan is facing its greatest crisis.
Ko Un is pulling the army back in a sly manner.
They will try to attack us at once and annihilate us.
That's right. It's as we expected.
Put up a barricade and have the soldiers rest.
- Yeo Seokgae. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Send scouts and observe Houyan's movement.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Commander. - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Watch how Beiwei moves. - Yes, Your Majesty.
We are receiving word from Song Pil and the migrants.
There isn't any movement yet.
- Let's go. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan command, Sheonyangcheng
General Fengba, what about the ambush?
How is our plan coming along?
50,000 soldiers are standing by at Longcheng.
We slowly pulled out 40,000 soldiers.
The Goguryeo army is getting closer to Sheonyangcheng.
120km more and our soldiers will be waiting in ambush.
If all our soldiers attack all at once, the Goguryeo army will be annihilated.
It seems like Goguryeo is being tricked too easily.
That happens when they're blinded by a victory.
Good.
Come on, Damdeok.
I will kill you.
Goguryeo command, Daiyacheng
- Commander. - Yes, Your Majesty.
How are the preparations to attack Houyan coming along?
Your Majesty.
They should be 120km away from Sheonyangcheng tomorrow.
The number reduced even more.
Many soldiers left.
They are trying to trick us.
That means we have to expect more soldiers when we actually fight.
General Mo Duyeong and general Gal Samu will have to arrive on time.
There is no movement by Houyan yet.
It seems like they're doing a good job of moving covertly.
Even if there are difficulties, this battle is worth a fight.
It's a great opportunity to take Sujuncheng.
That's right.
The Biryeo and Mohe allied forces should be near by now.
The Houyan army won't be expecting us to attack Sujuncheng.
There will be a risk, but it's a risk we have to take.
Yes.
Don't worry too much.
It's going to be a full-scale battle tomorrow.
Prepare well.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Houyan command, Sheonyangcheng
Listen carefully.
Houyan's fate depends on tomorrow's battle.
Murong Un, are you confident of capturing Damdeok tomorrow?
Yes, Your Majesty. All preparations have been made.
We will annihilate the Goguryeo army and advance to Gungnaeseong.
We should.
We must.
There is one concern.
Do you mean Beiwei?
Yes.
We haven't heard from the envoy.
It concerns me.
I don't have time to worry about that.
If we suppress Goguryeo, Beiwei will be no problem.
Yes, Your Majesty.
We must achieve a victory tomorrow no matter what.
- Is that understood? - Yes, Your Majesty!
Soldiers of Houyan!
Anyone who brings me Damdeok's head will be given the position of commander.
Attack!
Attack.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Attack!
- Attack! - Attack!
Now. Send them all.
Yes, master.
It's exactly as you expected.
We have to buy time until reinforcements arrive.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I'm going to have to fight.
But...
I have to take the lead to lure all the Houyan soldiers out.
The rest of you will come with me.
Attack! Kill them all!
Kill them all!
- Kill them all! - After them!
Kill them all!
Your Majesty, general Mo Duyeong and general Gal Samu succeeded.
- Now. Keep attacking. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Those soldiers are...
Why are Goguryeo soldiers appearing from over there?
It doesn't matter. They can't defeat us.
Attack!
Now!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, we're in trouble.
The Goguryeo army is attacking Sujuncheng with Biryeo and Mohe.
What?
Sujuncheng?
How can they attack Sujuncheng?
He predicted our strategy and sent his soldiers there.
It's a counter measure.
I ought to...
We must send out soldiers to Sujuncheng.
Order the army to Sujuncheng.
Now!
Yes, Your Majesty!
