The Autumn Offensive, known by the Joyongheans as the Northern General Offensive of Ssu Gapsin Jeongsi, comprised a series of Allied attacks instigated against the Quenminese and Archadian armies who were on the defensive after the Liberation of Yeolcheon. The offensive saw the Quenminese-Archadian front divided in two, and consequently left the Allies to seize the chance to isolate the components, and Cheon decided to take on the aforementioned Component and drive them north.

The allies moved across the river on 23 September, with Sang-ji creating a false gap to lure the Imperials in to soften their force. Meanwhile, Sang-ji ordered Susuya to move across the river from the right and put pressure on Goyang. Susaya was able to provide artillery support to Sang-ji's men via Land Mattresses, which he deemed a gift to him for his promotion to Generalissimo. Stalemates ensue in Goyang and the nearby village of Ikpo from 24 September-3 October. Soon, Byung-chul and Tae-sung were able to capture Ikpo, alongside Susaya's securing of Goyang.
