Today, I went to the War memorial of Korea.
I learned about 살수대첩. 살수대첩 is suo china fought Goguryeo.
In the 5th century Goguryeo was a powerful nation in Asia.
The first sui china attacked Goguryeo with 1million soldiers but Goguryeo defeated them.
The second sui china attacked of 300,000soldier. This army lead by Great general Wu-Jung-Moon.
Goguryeo also had a great general!
He's name is Eul-Ji-Moon-Deok! He planned excellent strategy.
Eul-Ji-Moon-Deok did not fight hard with sui on purpose.
The sui army tired, Because sui army ran out of food.
So sui army decided to retreat. They reached Sal-Su-River.
The water level looked low. When they crossed half way through the river, He opened the dam.
Most drown and only 2700 soldier survived.
This is one of the greatest victories in Korea history |
