Around San #53-3, Jimyo-dong, Dong-gu, Daegu

The forces of Goryeo was utterly defeated in Gongsan Battle by Gyeonhwon of Hubaekje and King Taejo, Wanggeon escaped while Goryeo forces fought till the end centering around the General Sunggyeom Shin.
At that time, even though Goryeo forces unfolded camouflage tactics by building a mountain pass while they were moving from Jimyo 2-dong to Pagyesa Temple, it was beyond their capacity.
Only a few solders were alive and gathered, and after making a route to a pass of Donghwasa Temple on the right, they could barely cross the stream in front of Jimyo. For this reason, the place where the General Sunggyeom Shin¡¯s army was defeated and spread for the first is called as Lower Pagunjae and the place where the army was spread for the second is called as Upper Pagunjae
