Place Introduction

It is a battlefield and a field where Lee Seong-gye, a master and provincial patrolman of the time, defeated the Japanese pirates during the invasion of the Japanese pirates in the late Goryeo Dynasty. If you take National Route 24 from the location of Inwol-myeon to Unbong-eup, you can meet this Hwangsan Battle Monument. If you turn right at the bus stop in Jeonchon Village and cross the Silgaecheon Stream called Namcheon Stream, you will find the Hwangsan Battle Monument in a sunny place. In September 1386, Japanese pirates, who were attacked by Choi Mu-seon and others at the mouth of the Geumgang River, entered Hamyang through Chungcheong-do, and tried to escape through Gwangju while stationed at Unbong Inwol Station over Jirisan Mountain. Accordingly, Lee Seong-gye, who was appointed as a provincial patrol officer, blocked the retreat with the army, fired off the helmet of Japanese general Azibaldo with his bow, and Lee Seong-gye's brother Lee Ji-ran immediately shot an arrow to his peeled forehead. Although it was a heavyweight of 10 to 1, Lee Seong-gye used a trick to destroy the Japanese army's defeated soldiers who ran away all night. Lee Seong-gye, who visited here again the following year, engraved the names of himself and his subordinate generals on the rock wall, so this is the vocabulary angle. Two hundred years later, in the 10th year of King Seonjo (1577), a monument commemorating the Battle of Hwangsan was erected on the current site by the appeal of Park Gye-hyeon, an observer of Jeolla-do. However, only the remains of the Vagokgak Pavilion and the Battle Monument remain. The Japanese colonial rule, which was about to be defeated, issued a secret order to the police across the country in 1943 to destroy anti-war relics that encouraged anti-Japanese consciousness, and the vocabulary was blown up at dawn on January 17, 1945. The monument was pecked into pieces so that the letters could not be recognized. The broken monument is currently enshrined in the pavilion and testifying to the scene of history.
