Question about 2nd battle of pyong yang Ep. 75

[skinz]

Episodes 74 qand 75 were by far THE best episodes yet. Well, 89 and 92 comes close, but those episodes had a lot of stuff in them.

I know about the first attempt for pyong yang fort by Chengxun Zu and the bitter defeat for the mings and the other attempt by Li Rusong in early 1593. But does anyone know about the second attempt mention in episode 75?

[florel]

I put this ahead from the passage of my chronicles, that I haven't posted yet.



the 2nd Siege of Pyung-yang Castle (1st August 1592)

- attack : Yi Won-Ik, Yi Il, Kim Eung-Suh (Chosun army) - 20,000 men
- defence : Konishi Yukinaga (1st Contingent)

- The Chosun army is defeated by Konishi Yukinaga, but submitted small damages : 3 dead and 27 wounded. Perhaps it was not a huge scale battle.

- Kim Ok-Chu (future Commander of the Right Cholla Navy, i.e. successor of Yi Ok-Ki, at Myungryang Battle) undertakes a riverine operation on the Dae-dong River commanding the Navy of Pyung-an province.
