Great Victory Against Sui China

      Goguryeo was the most  powerful country in the 5th century in Korea. Sui China first attacked Goguryeo leading 1 million soldiers. But Goguryeo easily defeated them. Sui China's emperor was very mad, so he attacked Goguryeo leading 300,000 soldiers. But Goguryeo wasn't scared. They had a smart and brave general, Eul-ji-moon-deok. He didn't fight with the army, but made them tired. Soon, food and water were all out in the Sui army. So they decided to retreat. When they crossed the Sal-su river halfway, Eul-ji-moon-deok opened the dam. So many Sui army drowned, and only 2,700 of Sui soilders survived.

Also, they were very good at archery and were very brave.Because of the Hwarang, Silla had loyal and brave men to fight for their country.The Hwarang had special five rules. 1.Be loyal to your country, 2. Do good things to our parents, 3. Believe our friends, 4. Never retreat in battles, 5. Don't kill something on purpose
