AB - Silla dynasty, which advanced north of the Imjin River in the mid-6th century, built a castle and a defense system at a point corresponding to the Goguryeo castle. We examined the process of the castle's transformation in three stages. First, the castles built at that time included Gamaksan Fortress, Sucheol Fortress, Choseongrisan Fortress, Gosong Fortress, and Juwonrisan Fortress on the horizontal defense line connecting the Imjin River and Hantan River, and Halmisan Fortress, Naedari Fortress, and Eoeum Fortress in the Cheorwon area located in the upper reaches of the Hantan River.
These castles are mainly composed of Silla relics from the mid-6th century, and considering that no roof tiles have been excavated, they appear to have been built intensively over a short period of time. The size of the fortress is small, and it is limited for staging a sit-in.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the fortifications were built purely for combat purposes centered on the base area rather than for stable control of the occupied area. In addition, medium to large fortresses in the Imjin River basin, such as Odusan Fortress, Chiljung Fortress, Oknyebongsan Fortress, Gunjasan Fortress, Daejeonrisan Fortress, Seongdongrisan Fortress, Banwolsan Fortress, Dongjusan Fortress, and Seongsan Fortress, were newly built, expanded, and rebuilt around the time the Imjin River basin entered a relatively stable period, allowing Goguryeo, It was used in the battle against the Tang.
In addition, these castles simultaneously performed the function of county fortresses, the bases of local governance. In addition, Odusan Fortress, Deokjinsan Fortress, Horogoru, Dangpo Fortress, and Eundaeri Fortress are adjacent to the coast of the Imjin River, so they are thought to have controlled the Imjin River waterway during the Great Goryeo and Silla-Tang wars and at the same time served as defensive functions and supply bases.
