ABSTRACT

It is said that there is a main performer in war, and actions which reflect the characteristics of the subject. The main performer of war, Mongol forces made use of human resources weigh with such as prisoners of war. Therefore, before attacking the big castle(大城), they attacked a small village(小郡) firstly and took the people as prisoner. As Mongol advanced to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula at a later time, Cheoin Bugok(處仁部曲) was a small village that could take human resources relatively easily. The Salietai(撒禮塔)'s army, which had already taken on human and time damage in Gwangju(廣州), had to take control of several small villages and re-supply human resources. However, Salietai died in Cheoin Castle(處仁城), and the war is over temporarily. Cheoin Castle was not a national level operated military base at that time. If nothing remarkable happened, it could only remain as an area where Mongol army wiped out and passed by. However, the victory of Chein castle forced the Goryeo government to understand the situation centered on the battle of Cheoin Castle. And it was also confirmed that there could be as many people who were freed from the defense system. After the Battle of Cheoin Castle, the Goryeo government is complementing its defense policy in the stance of strengthening the protection of human resources while guaranteeing the capabilities of resistance. It is the echo of the Battle of Cheoin Castle and another significance of the battle.
