The power of Goguryeo?

 The problem in the first place was to reduce King Gwanggaettae to a poor level while comparing Alexander and King Gwanggaettae without knowing well.Once again, Sohae is well aware that there are differences in the capabilities of Macedonia, which conquered Goguryeo and Persian, and in the achievements of King Gwanggaetotae and Alexander, respectively.But what's a little funny is that it talks about the superiority and inferiority of the army that does not have a beacon in the B.C. and the army that owns mid- to long-term soldiers and powerful launch weapons.Even if Hannibal or Scipio, who are considered to have used cavalry tactics well, not Alexander, cannot attack cavalry with a cavalry without a stirrup or deal with head-on clashes with heavy infantry.It's no different from comparing sharks and eagles.Such a story, like certain books, was not discussed or reflected in depth in Yeokgal.However, I think the problem is that some uninvited guests who wanted to stand out suddenly appeared. As I said in the last article, I am well aware of Alexander's greatness and achievements.However, it is considered a separate matter to cut King Gwanggaettae down to pick up Alexander, and the post, which began to say that it contains only shock therapy, rudeness, and intolerance of the publisher who wants to appear splendidly rather than to remove bubbles on King Gwanggaetto. There was definitely a difference in military capabilities between the ancient East and the West.However, unlike Westerners' self-centered perceptions and Western history, what is briefly recorded today is different, but we believe that it is up to those who claim to be interested in history to study and dig into it. Again, I respect and like King Gwanggaeto, but I know well that he is not on the same level as Alexander.However, King Gwanggaetotae had main enemies in the south and west, and as a bonus, there were Japanese, who were subordinates of Baekje, and nomadic peoples in the north who did not know when they would change. If Alexander's Macedonia was bordered by an adversary with similar national power or if the mainland was invaded during the Persian expedition, it would not have achieved such tremendous results. Someone asked me to show you anything left behind about Goguryeo's strategy, so I'll briefly introduce one. In the winter of the 12th year (259), the king hunted into Dunul Valley. Wejihae, the longevity of the Wei Dynasty.The name contradicts the name of Jangneung.> invaded with soldiers. The king selected 5,000 elite cavalry and fought in Yangmaek Valley, defeating them, and cutting 8,000 people. 』 Records from the time of King Jungcheon of Goguryeo...Yangmaekgok is estimated to be in the upper reaches of the Prince's lower reaches, but the exact location is unknown.It seems that the expression ironware comes out during the reign of King Dongcheon, so the elite cavalry here is not a mid- to long-term disease, but a combination of soldiers, archers, or a combination of diseases. Perhaps Western librarians will have large-scale organization and detailed progress, but oriental librarians are limited to about this much.If you say there is no record left with this, you can't do it, but if you only talk about visible records, history doesn't have to be the subject of research.The interpretation and the record will be enough. The above record is short and simple, so you can say that you don't know anything, but if you look for it, you can see a few things.The distinction between ironware and...Since 8,000 people have been killed, the number of invading troops can be estimated from at least 10,000 to as much as 20,000 to 30,000. And since 8,000 people were killed with 5,000 people, the collapse of the Wei Dynasty forces due to surprise, ambush, or bypass attacks can also be estimated rather than a head-on attack. It is common sense that most of the casualties that occur in battles usually occur during retreat or when Daeo collapses, so no matter how many troops there are, the Wei army collapsed Daeo due to surprise or unexpected attacks on a small number of Goguryeo forces. Personally, considering that there is an expression of valley, I think it was a typical ambush-enclosure tactic. If it's not enough, I'll show you one more. In the 11th year (401), when the king sent a soldier to attack Sukgun Castle, Mo Yong-gwi, a history of Pyeongjusa Temple in the Yeon Dynasty, abandoned the castle and ran away.』 This is a record of King Gwanggaeto's reign. It is also short and simple, and what can be seen here is that the magistrate of Yeon (Huyeon) abandoned the castle and ran away.The exact location of Sookgunseong Fortress is unknown, but since there was Pyeongjusa Temple, it can be identified as the location of Pyeongju, and after a few years, the administration was eventually changed and became similar to Goguryeo's subordinate country. I don't think we need to talk long about how this battle affected Huyeon. And finally, I admit that what you think about King Gwanggaetotae and what kind of evaluation you make can be wrong according to your individual judgment.I don't think anything is a problem in itself, but what bothers me is that I don't know much about King Gwanggaetotae or just cut him off without much interest. King Gwanggaetotae's conquest activities are simply identified as a typical nomadic way of destroying the enemy's clan and confirming subjugation, but nomadic peoples like Khitan have not even tried to completely dominate powerhouses like Tang. However, Taewang completely controls the Hwanghae-do and Liaodong areas and establishes its own administrative system.In other words, it means that the necessary place was directly controlled, and again, I think it should be taken into account that King Tae had to confront both enemies, Huyeon and Baekje. Sohae-i once said that people had a kind of "fantasy" about Goguryeo while writing poor articles about mid- to long-term diseases.I like Sohae-gun Goguryeo and King Gwanggaetotae, but I strongly oppose the use of those two things for extreme nationalism.From the same point of view, I don't know well, don't care much, don't have affection, and I don't think it's right to recklessly disparage or discount it. Alexander's greatness does not shine only when King Gwanggaeto is reduced.Even if King Gwanggaeto is not demeaned, Alexander stands in the position of a sufficiently great strategist and conqueror.
