Buyeo, South Chungcheong Province

General Gye Baek

Statue of General Gye Baek in Buyeo: In 660, Baekje was invaded by a force of 50,000 from Silla, supported by 144,000 Tang Chinese soldiers. Gye Baek, with only 5,000 troops under his command, met them in the battlefield of Hwangsanbeol. Before entering the battlefield, Gye Baek reportedly killed his wife and children to prevent the thought of them influencing his actions or causing him to falter in battle.
