Additional History:
General Ge-Baek was leader of the army near the end of the Baek-Je Dynasty. Very little is known about his personal life, such as his birth place or even the year of his birth. When the united forces of Silla and Tang invaded Baekje in 660 C.E.,
General Ge-Baek organised 5,000 soldiers to fight back. He knew that his army would be outnumbered and that his efforts, regardless of the skills and bravery of his troops, were ultimately futile, however he did not hesitate to try and defend his country. He is reported to have said: I would rather die than be a slave of the enemy.
With defeat inevitable, before going into the Battle of Hwangsanbeol, General Ge-Baek killed his wife and children to prevent them falling into enemy hands and being tortured; it is said he also wanted to prevent the thought of them influencing his actions or causing him to falter in the heat of battle. In the early stages, his forces won a number of key battles, but he was forced to move his troops to protect the Baek-Je capital, Buyeo, from Silla General Kim Yu-Shin. Ge-Baek's forces fought bravely but were outnumbered 10 to 1 and in the end, he and his men were completely defeated.
The remaining Baek-Je army joined forces with Koryo province to attack Silla and were eventually driven back, with the Silla province receiving aid from the Chinese Tang Dynasty. This signified the end of the Baek-Je Dynasty after 678 years.
