Student Translation : Julian Butterfield
Kyaebek, a person of Baekje, served as dalsol.[1] In Kyongsin, the fifth year of the Hyeonggyeong era of Dang,[2] Emperor Gojong made So Jeongbang the Great General of Singudo.[3]. He led troops across the sea and with Silla attacked Baekje. Kyaebek became [Baekje's] general, and chose—of those daring to die—five thousand people to resist the attack. He said [to them], "Using the people of one state against the great army of Dang and Silla, the state's survival or downfall as yet cannot be known. I fear my wife and children will be sunken into slavery: it is better that they die quickly than in life suffer disgrace."
Thereafter, he killed them all, and arriving on the fields of Hwangsan, he established three camps. Met with Silla's army and about to do battle, Kyaebek made an oath with his multitude, saying, "In the past, Gucheon with five thousand men ruined Wu's horde of seven hundred thousand. This day, we must each exert ourselves and encourage each other to gain victory, in order to repay the grace of the state."
Thereupon, they battled ardently: there was not one—alone—who did not well-match a thousand [others], and with Silla's troops thus retreating—in this way advancing and retreating—they reached four battles before their strength was bent and they died.
