Yeon Gaesomun, the military commander of the Goguryeo kingdom who resisted Tang China, is an Epic Historic General in Evony. He makes an excellent Subordinate City Mayor for debuffing enemy troops. This guide provides detailed information about Yeon Gaesomun.
The General Story of Yeon Gaesomun
After taking over the Goguryeo throne, Yeon Gaesomun launched new invasions of Silla, and the relationship with Tang also deteriorated.
After the Tang-Silla alliance conquered Baekje, Emperor Gaozong invaded Goguryeo in 661 and 662. One of Yeon Gaesomun’s greatest victories came in 662 when his forces defeated Tang general Pang Xiaotai and his Lingnan army at the Sasu River. Pang Xiaotai and all his 13 sons were killed in combat.
Traditional Korean histories from Joseon painted Yeon Gaesomun as a despotic leader. However, he was also considered the greatest hero in Korean history for his achievements in defending Goguryeo against Chinese onslaughts.
