The Missing Episodes, Part 1

Try as I might, I haven't been able to find the next three episodes of Alex's Goryeo series - parts 6, 7 and 8.  I was able to track down the titles of the episodes, which you can see in the picture below.

Fortunately, Wolf took excellent notes. Here are the links:

Goryeo 6 - I Have Begun from the Rising Sun

 

     The elites of Goryeo abandon ship and hide on an island while the Mongols use their newly acquired siege skills to crack open Goryeo fortresses and pillage the land again and again. 

 

Goryeo 7 - We Cannot Go Back Now

 

     The Korean people become unwilling participants in the Mongol’s greatest military disaster – the invasion of mainland Japan.

 

Goryeo 8 - The Worst Excesses of Rome

 

     The collaborator Kings of Goryeo continue their debauchery while the long suffering peasantry catch a glimmer of hope as cracks begin to appear in Mongol rule.

     

The audio this week will be a recent post from faithmix.  Next week we will resume with TIKH20 - Goryeo 9 - The Rising Flood.
