, although the Baekje forces consisted of about 5,000 men and were no match for Yu-Shin's warriors, which numbered about ten times as many. Baekje, which had already been experiencing internal political problems, crumbled. Gim Yu-shin's Silla forces and their Tang allies now moved on Goguryeo from two directions, and in 661 they attacked the seemingly impregnable Goguryeo kingdom, but were repelled. The attack had weakened Goguryeo, though. In 667 another offensive was launched which, in 668, finally destroyed Goguryeo.
Silla still had to subdue various pockets of resistance, but their efforts were then focused on ensuring that their Tang allies did not overstay their welcome on the peninsula. After some
difficult conflicts, Silla eventually forced out the Tang troops and united the peninsula under their rule.
Legends
Many stories exist about Gim Yu-Shin. It is told that he once was ordered to subdue a rebel army, but his troops refused to fight as they had seen a large star fall from the sky and took this to be a bad omen. To regain the confidence of his troops, the General used a large
kite

to carry a fire ball into the sky. The soldiers, seeing the star return to heaven, rallied and defeated the rebels. It is also related how General Gim ingeniously used kites as a means of communication between his troops when they had become divided between islands and the mainland.
Gim Yu-Sin once spent the night at a courtesan's tavern, and when his mother learned of this, she cried and asked Gim Yu-Shin to never again set his foot in that kind of place. One night, Gim Yu-Siin was very drunk, and his horse took him to the courtesan's house. When Gim Yu-Shin woke, he was angry at having broken his promise to his mother, and he slit the horse's throat.
His final years
Throughout his life, Gim Yu-Sin felt that Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla should not be separate countries but rather united as one. He is regarded as the driving force in the unification of the
