Arc 22The Fall of Hanseong
Gu Moran’s forces broke the Japanese siege of Goryeo, rescued the prisoners in Hanseong, and destroyed Kuki Yoshitaka’s fleet at Incheon. After a secret letter implicated Kim Seung-hwan in betraying Goryeo, Gu Moran offered Kim Seon-a a choice about joining his next campaign.
- Mei Boqian’s troops fought on Vanishing Shadow Island while Gu Moran’s forces seized Incheon, and Pu Yunshan destroyed a Japanese grain convoy to worsen Inukami Jusaburo’s shortages.
- Gu Moran’s army defeated Inukami’s attack outside Hanseong, while Park Roejang arranged an ambush at White Sandbar and helped Gu Moran discover the plot.
- Gu Moran survived the White Sandbar ambush, but Park Roejang died after revealing that the Satsuma soldiers could help open Hanseong’s west gate.
- Gu Moran’s forces and the Satsuma soldiers broke through the west gate, freed Kim Tae-heung, and entered Hanseong as Inukami threatened the city’s prisoners.
- Kim Seon-a, Lin Qingdai, and Tuoba Mang uncovered Choi Seong-min’s plot to seize Goryeo’s throne with Bloodline Gu, rescued the children, and captured Choi.
- Gu Moran’s forces stopped Inukami from killing the prisoners and defeated Gu Debai’s rebellion, then prepared to face Kuki Yoshitaka’s fleet at Incheon.
- Gu Moran lured Kuki Yoshitaka’s ships into a trap, and the Satsuma soldiers ignited the fire ships that destroyed most of the Wa fleet and led to Kuki’s capture.
- Kim Seon-a found a letter bearing the Great Yan empress’s seal and a weapon linked to Kim Seung-hwan, and Gu Moran offered her the choice to join his campaign against the Wa emperor or remain in Incheon.
