[History Is Alive - Baekje Edition] Episode 22: Battle of Hwangsanbeol - Gyebaek's 5,000 Desperate Warriors

1. On the 9th day of the 7th lunar month in 660, 5,000 soldiers of Baekje under Gyebaek clashed with 50,000 Silla troops led by Kim Yu-sin at Hwangsanbeol, holding off four attacks before losing to the fifth all-out assault.
2. The battle took place in the Hwangsanbeol area of Yeonsan-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do; the troop numbers are recorded in the Samguk Sagi, and Gyebaek died in the battle.
3. Because most historical sources reflect the victors' perspective, some argue that source criticism is needed, as the killing of Gyebaek's family and the story of Gwanchang may contain embellishment.
