Stories about the fall of Baekje.

 Why did the party invade Baekje? In short, it was because a rear supply base was needed for the invasion of Goguryeo. The biggest reason for the failure of China's invasion of Goguryeo, which has continued since the Sui Dynasty, was that it was difficult to supply due to the long-extended Byeongchwaseon, and thanks to Goguryeo's Cheongya operation, it was difficult to supply locally. The supply method used by the Sunadang during the Goguryeo invasion was a method in which the ground forces crossed Yoha and the naval forces advanced to the outskirts of Pyongyang, but all ended in failure. Therefore, the party wanted a stable rear supply base, and Silla, which was in great danger of repeated attacks by Goguryeo and Baekje after occupying the Hangang River basin, wanted a strong ally, so the interests of both sides eventually matched. Then, it is speculated why Silla was instead of Baekje, but from the Tang Dynasty's point of view, Silla, which bends on its own, was better than Baekje, which promised to cooperate with Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty and failed to keep its promise. What kind of person was General Gyebaek? I don't know.^^ I'm not kidding, but there is only one record of Gyebaek in the History of the Three Kingdoms. The records of Gyebaek, which can be seen in the Three Kingdoms Sagi, are that he died in Hwangsanbeol in 660, had a wife and children, was at the Dalsol government office at the time of his participation, and at an important moment, it is highly likely that King Euija was the henchman of his heart. Considering that he defeated Silla troops four times using the terrain favorable to defense and died after fighting until the end, it can be assumed that he was a competent and responsible person. Where is Huangshanbeol and how did the Baekje army fight? Hwangsanbeol, where Baekje and Silla fought, is known today as the area of Yeonsan-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. There are many people who know that they fought in the field because it was called the Battle of Hwangsanbeol, but there is no general who fights in the field against enemies ten times as much. There is also a record in the Samguksa Temple that "the terrain was divided into three rough places and camped." It is presumed to be Hwangnyeongsanseong Fortress, Mochon-risanseong Fortress, and Sanjik-ri Fortress in the area, but anyway, it is estimated that the soldiers were divided into places that were easy to defend and fought against the Silla army. The Silla army, which decided to meet with the party forces in the south of Xavi until July 10, carried out excessive attacks and failed four times. Next, as you all know, the Silla army, which saw the heroic deaths of Banguil and Gwanchang, launched an all-out offensive and finally defeated the Baekje army. Everyone knows that everyone is dead except "there". ^^ According to the records of the Three Kingdoms fraud, dozens of people, including the loyalty and screening of the Dalsol government post, surrendered. These dozens of people probably mean leaders, and there are likely to be actual prisoners or soldiers who have fled, but nothing remains in the records so far. However, considering the record that the defeated troops were reorganized in Hwangsanbeol and put back into battle with the party forces, there is a possibility that they retreated while maintaining the organization. After the fall of Baekje, how much power was the revival army and why did it fail? To be exact, King Euija surrendered on July 18, and on August 2nd, on the day of the victory party between the party and Silla, the army led by Jwapyeong began to attack the army of the party and Silla. Perhaps the cause is the continued slaughter and looting of the Tang and Silla forces, and the Heukchisangji, who saw King Euija being insulted at the victory party in this matter, will also point swords at the Tang and Silla. Later, under the command of Boksin and Dochim, the Revival Army once surrounded the Sabiseong Fortress and put the Tang army in danger of absolute desperation. Silla troops, led by King Taejong Muyeol, fight against Baekje's revival forces, but they continue to struggle to the extent that there are quite a few defeated articles in the match against Silla, the Three Kingdoms Sagi. The party will also experience serious damage to the extent that King Gojong issued an order to withdrawal. I think the reason why such revival failed was that there was no centrality. If King Uija or Prince had directly led the situation, the situation would have been likely to change, but the scattered revival forces were difficult to carry out proper joint operations and there was no one to adjust the power between generals. Of course, Buyeo Yong, who was in Japan, was brought in and appointed as king, but as Buyeo Yong complained, he was in a state of "sacrifice or service." Eventually, Boksin kills Dochim, and Buyeoyong kills Boksin. The death of the superior at the time, when the concept of Jujong was as strong as the concept of the state, could greatly agitate the soldiers. On August 28, 663, when the Japanese army lost greatly to the Baekma River and Buyeo-dong fled to Goguryeo, the flames of the revival army, which burned Baekje, also extinguished. Eventually, Baekje's revival forces will disappear from history after the fall of Imjonseong Fortress, which was guarded by God Jisu.
