ABSTRACT

Liao dynasty completed the tribal system by going through the Gopbu, dozens of departments, the Daeha and the Ryon Ci leagues before the foundation of the dynasty. The King Taejo of Liao dynasty created the upper part of the North and South to take charge of the civil and military affairs of the tribe of Guran, and was subjugated to Bukmyeonwan during the reign of King Taejong. From King Taejong's time, Bukmyeonwan was in charge of the army of Liao dynasty. Taejo and other emperors assigned themselves to the royal court, and mobilized them to train their own pro-military palace guards. In addition, as the importance of infantry was highlighted, Oh Gyeong-hyang's disease using the Han Chinese was developed and used as the central army of Liao. The Yoga emperors trained the royal court and the central army to reinforce the tribes, which were the main forces of Yoga in the early days of the country's founding. These tribes began as cavalry troops made up of the Giran tribe, and were called Gyu-gun, a unit that was generalized by various tribes. Liao dynasty established a key central force and ran the Royal Guard. There were the royal friends who were created by King Taejo and the royal family, Soksan County, which was built by Empress Eungcheon. There were a variety of special forces in these pro-defense forces, and there were special forces that saved the special abilities of the surrounding tribes. In the early days of Liao dynasty founding, special cavalry was the key force utilizing cavalry with strong tribal characteristics. The special cavalry was a tactic to quickly break into the enemy's center, seize the enemy's capital, and capture the king or the enemy's commander. However, it was difficult for such tactics to build a fortified fortress with deep mountains and valleys and high fortresses. The fortress was favored by infantry rather than cavalry. Liao dynasty operated a Hyangbyeong centered on infantry along with cavalry in the course of attacking agricultural countries such as Goryeo and Song. Hyangbyeong was a unit of the Han people and a unit of the Byeongnug. The infantry was mainly used to take down the castle.
