  • The Battle of Salsu was an enormous battle that occurred in the year 612, during the second Goguryeo-Sui War, between the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo and Chinese Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo cavalry forces, although outnumbered, outmaneuvered and overwhelmed the Chinese troops in combat and eventually emerged victorious. In 612, the Sui Emperor Yangdi invaded Goguryeo with a million men. However, at this time, Goguryeo General Eulji Mundeok defended fortresses against the Sui army and navy for several months and destroyed the Sui troops while retreating into Goguryeo territory. An ambush at Salsu caused massive Sui casualties. When the Sui army had reached Salsu, the water level was shallow, as Eulji Mundeok had already cut off the flow of water with a dam. When the Sui army had crossed the river halfway, Eulji opened the dam, and the onslaught of water caused many thousands of Sui soldiers to drown. The Goguryeo cavalry then charged the remaining Sui forces. The surviving Sui forces were forced to retreat at a breakneck pace to the Liaodong Peninsula to avoid being killed. This led to an overall campaign loss of all but 2,700 Sui troops out of 305,000 men, a casualty rate of slightly over 99%. The Battle of Salsu is listed among the most lethal "classical formation" battles in world history. With the victory over Sui dynasty at the Salsu, Goguryeo eventually became the victor of the war itself, while the Sui Dynasty, crippled by the enormous loss of manpower and resources expended to conduct the campaigns, started to crumble from within and was finally brought down by internal strife, to be replaced soon thereafter by the Tang.
  • La Batalla de Salsu tuvo lugar en el año 612, en el marco de la segunda guerra Goguryeo-Sui. Esta guerra enfrento al antiguo reino Goguryeo con el Imperio Chino de la dinastía Sui: el primero se extendió al sur de Manchuria y norte y centro de la península de Corea; el segundo ocupo el este de China.
  • Salsun taistelu käytiin vuonna 612 Koreassa sijainneen Koguryon keisarikunnan ja Sui-dynastian keisari Yangdin hallitseman Kiinan välillä. Taistelu liittyi valloitussotaan, jota Yang Tin suuri, mahdollisesti jopa miljoonapäinen armeija kävi Koguryon alueella. Kiinalaiset pyrkivät kohti Koguryon pääkaupunkia. Koguyon joukkoja johti kenraali Eulji Mundeog (kirjoitetaan myös Ulchi Mundok) josta tuli kansallissankari. Hän johdatti hyökkääjät ansaan Salsu-joella. Taistelu ratkesi lopulta Koguryon voitoksi, vaikka kiinalaisia sotilaita oli kokonaislukumäärältään enemmän. Korealaisten lähteiden mukaan Suin joukkoihin kuului 300 000 miestä, ja vain 2700 jäi henkiin.
  • La Battaglia di Salsu, è stata un importante battaglia combattuta nel 612, nel corso della seconda Guerra Goguryeo-Sui, tra il regno coreano di Goguryeo e la Dinastia Sui. La cavalleria coreana, sebbene forre in numero inferiore, riusci a sconfiggere l'esercito cinese. Nel 612, l'imperatore Yang Guang, invese il regno coreano con un esercito composto da un milione di uomini. Tuttavia, nonostante l'imponente dispiegamento di forze cinesi il generale Eulji Mundeok, riuscì a difendere le fortezze opponendosi all' avanzata dell'esercito nemico per diversi mesi, per poi sconfiggere le truppu Sui in ritirata attraverso un aguato lungo le rive del fiume Salsu. Quando l'esercito invasore in ritirata il generale coreano diede l'ordine di abbattere una diga precedentemente costruita a monte del guado. L'ondata di piena travolse diverse migliaia di soldati e i sopravvissuti furono decimati dalla cavalleria Goguryeo. I pochi sopravvissuti furono costretti a ripiegare nella Penisola di Liaodong per evitare di essere uccisi. Con questa vittoria il regno di Goguryeo conquisto la vittoria sulla Dinastia Sui, la quale iniziò un periodo di decadenza conclusosi con la presa al potere da parte della Dinastia Tang.
  • 萨水大捷是612年隋朝第二次攻打高句丽中的一次大战役。高句丽在与隋朝兵力对比悬殊的情况下，大胜入侵的隋军，使隋炀帝攻打高句丽的计划以失败告终。 612年，隋炀帝发百万大军攻打高句丽。面对隋前无仅有的庞大攻势，高句丽的将军乙支文德采取了诱敌深入的灵活战术与隋朝军队周旋了数月。在攻打平壤的必经之地萨水（清川江），乙支文德命人筑坝蓄水。当入侵的隋朝军队过河之时，乙支文德下令开闸放水。大批隋军因此被水淹死。随后乙支文德带领早已埋伏好的高句丽军队对入侵的隋朝军队发动猛攻。30多万的入侵隋军，只有2千多人逃回。 萨水之战的胜利在高句丽与隋的第二次战争中起到了决定性的作用。入侵的隋朝军队最终惨败而归。
