The naval battle of Xianshan Island was a great victory, and the elite cavalry of Hamgyong Province was completely destroyed

Since Yi Sunsin won a series of battles with the Japanese army, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was furious when he learned about it, and strictly ordered the naval army general Nine Ghost Yoshitaka to counterattack Yi Sunsin, and the Nine Ghost Yoshitaka shouldered the protection of the shipping route, so he asked Wakisaka Yasuharu to lead the main force of the naval army 73 warships to fight, and asked Kato Yoshiaki and Fujido Takatora to lead the team to respond.

Wakisaka Yasuharu passed on the three generals Wakiban Sabei, Watanabe Shiaemon, and Naobe Samayo. Wakisaka Yasuji said: "That guy Yi Sunsin, the prestige of the navy is discredited, this time His Royal Highness Taiko issued a strict order, must annihilate the Korean navy, seventy-three warships are divided into three teams to march together, each of you will lead a team, first assemble on Geoje Island and wait for the fighters." ”

Wakiita Sabei was extremely worried about the North Korean turtle boats: "However, the turtle ships built by the DPRK should not be underestimated, and there is no effective countermeasure strategy at present, and it will cause trouble for us in the event of another war." Watanabe Zuobei also had this concern: "Yes, my lord, our warships lack artillery, and the tactics can only be linked, compared with other generals of the Korean navy, Yi Sunsin commands properly, if the two armies are of the same size, the victory or defeat is unpredictable." ”

Seeing that the two were so decadent, Naokabe Sama Yun was extremely dissatisfied, and said to the two: "How did you become so cowardly? Could it be that we have no advantage? I don't believe that this North Korean turtle boat can't be shot or broken? Can the artillery of the North Korean naval army decide the winner? I believe that the key lies in the deployment and planning of our army, and we need to fully grasp the situation from the very beginning. ”

When Wakisaka Yasuharu saw Naokabe Samayo say this, he got up and said: "That's right, don't be confused by the enemy, our army has gathered seventy-three warships to fight to the death with the Korean navy!" Although the DPRK naval forces are equipped with artillery, their steering and speed are not as good as our army's, and the so-called turtle ships are only a few ships, and our army is divided into three teams, and once a war begins, it will take advantage of our army's speed advantage to surround the enemy ships and break through the enemy's formation, so that the DPRK's deployment can be disrupted, and the artillery of the DPRK naval forces will be thrown into the rat trap, and the Korean warships and their artillery will be incorporated into our fleet, so that the DPRK naval forces will no longer be our opponents. And Lord Nine Ghost Jialong has transferred the Iron Armor Anzhai Nippon Maru to deal with the Korean turtle ship, and the fleet has been assembled in Busan to standby, so it is better for the turtle ship to be a turtle with a shrunken head! The generals were overjoyed, and Wakisaka Yasuji swore to kill Yi Sunsin.

A few days later, Yi Sun-sin, the left water envoy of Jeolla Province, received a report from the fishermen that the Japanese warships were gathering in the vicinity of Geoje Island, and Yi Sun-sin urgently called Yi Yi-ki, the right water envoy of Jeolla Province, and Won Gyun-gyun, the right water envoy of Gyeongsang Province, to discuss together: "The Japanese warships are gathering in the area of Geoje Island, and it is reported that there are very many of them, and there should be more than 60 of them, and our army's Banya ships still have 24 warships here, and there should be 25 warships in the right envoy of Yi You, and there should be 7 warships in the right envoy of Wonsang-do. ”

Yuan Jun said: "The Japanese invaders are gathering this time, it will be revenge, we must be cautious and cautious, and we must not easily face the battle, if we reverse into the trap, the previous achievements of the Korean naval army will be wasted." The Japanese are cunning and brutal, and their desire for revenge is extremely strong, and I guess that it should not only be assembled this time, but also most of the follow-up fleet, and it will be a tough battle after that. ”

Yi Sunsin proposed: "I have planned this battle, I plan to set up an ambush in the waters of Xianshan Island, where the water is deep and the waves are flat, and extremely wide, which is conducive to the ambush and deployment of large fleets, I will first send several warships to lure the Japanese ships to sail away from Geoje Island and chase them to the waters of Xianshan Island, although our fleet is far apart, but I will order the decoy ships to the designated position to fire artillery signals in succession, and each team will sail to the enemy ships when they hear the artillery signals, so that our army will be surrounded by crane wings, keep a distance, and shell with all their might, and our four turtle ships will also break into the enemy formation and disturb them. ”

Jeolla Province made Lee Yi-ki a little uneasy: "Even so, it is difficult to guarantee that in case the Japanese army has experienced repeated defeats, it will also deal with it, and it is unknown whether it can be easily lured." The scale of the Japanese warships this time is huge, and it is more difficult for our army to take the initiative to attack to ensure victory, and the enemy may also disperse to fight against our army. The speed of the Japanese ships is above that of our army, and once they seize the opportunity, our army's advantage in close combat may be lost. This battle is extremely critical and must be considered thoroughly. ”

Yi Sunsin replied: "As you have said, the gathering of the Japanese ships is for revenge, and the lure ships with our banner will pursue the Japanese with all their might, although the Japanese have regrouped their warships and are courageous, it can also be seen that they are still afraid of the previous naval battle, so they will never disperse their actions before seeing the main force of our army, so as not to be broken by our army, because of this, our army's plan to lure the enemy will be successful, and when the Japanese find out that they have already fallen into the encirclement of the crane wing, they will definitely be defeated." Please rest assured, if we fail to lure the enemy, then it will not be too late for us to make another plan. After hearing this, Li Yiqi and Yuan Jun agreed, and then returned to their base camp to assemble warships to join Yi Sunsin's troops.

Wakisaka Yasuji's army was anchored on Geoje Island, and suddenly it was reported that there were Korean naval warships attacking, Wakisaka Yasuji led the crowd to inspect, and saw that six Korean Itaya warships were heading towards Geoje Island, Wakisaka Yasuji fixed his eyes and saw that Yi Sunsin's banner was eye-catching, so he ordered the whole army to board the ship and pursue, Wakiban Left Guard advised Wakisaka Yasuji to be careful in order to lure the enemy, Wakisaka Yasuji was impatient: "Yi Sunsin is close at hand, the strength is weak, the opportunity must not be lost, if you catch up with the enemy ship as soon as possible and annihilate Yi Sunsin, the Korean naval army will collapse by itself, even if it is a plan to lure the enemy, Our army is more flexible and mobile than the DPRK, but when the enemy army appears, it can be dispersed and encircled according to the plan. He immediately ordered that the reward for capturing Yi Sunchen alive was 5,000 yuan! The whole army was excited, and they boarded the ships one after another and set sail, and for a time all 73 Japanese warships had been dispatched.

In the early morning of 7 July, the Japanese three-way fleet had been led to the waters off Xianshan Island, and the Korean deluted ships to the designated position and fired back at the Japanese fleet, but the Japanese naval forces continued to pursue them relentlessly. However, in the middle of the moment, Wakisaka Yasuharu and other generals were shocked to find a large number of Korean warships sailing in the waters on three sides, which had become a situation of crane wings encircling, with a turtle ship on each side and two on the front of the Japanese navy. Seeing that the naval army had been surrounded, Wakisaka Yasuji regretted not being at the beginning, became angry, and ordered the three teams to rush forward separately and fight to the death with all their might.

Seeing this, Yi Sunsin ordered the whole army to keep a distance and shoot immediately, and the Japanese fleet was constantly shelled under the encirclement of the Korean Panya ships, and the ships that wanted to break through were also not working well under the shelling fire, and the Japanese arquebuses had a limited range of fire, and they played little role in the confusion of the shelling. There were also four turtle ships that rampage through the enemy's ranks, but the Japanese warships were numerous and launched several counterattacks to approach the Korean fleet.

Wakisaka Yasuji ordered Ofune Yasuya to divide into two teams, each in front and rear, and the small and medium-sized warships were transferred to the middle to assist each other in defending themselves and charging towards Korea. When Yi Sunsin saw that the Japanese army had changed formation, he ordered the artillery bombardment of the Anzhai detachment to contain it, and then ordered four turtle boats to ram the small and medium-sized Japanese warships, disrupting their deployment of the formation. The Japanese army was pinned down by fire for a while, and it was difficult to smoothly divide the unit for a while, and in addition, there were turtle boats in the middle of the war, and small and medium-sized warships had to scatter in all directions, and the Japanese army was in chaos again, and each team formed a formation with scattered ships to try to counterattack.

The naval battle of Xianshan Island lasted from early morning to dusk, the Japanese army was defeated, Wakiban Sabei and Watanabe Shiaemon were killed, Naokabe Sama Yun was embarrassed and angry, and committed suicide, while Wakisaka Yasuji led the remnants of the army to break through and flee. In the first battle of Xianshan Island, Yi Sunsin reported to the Japanese army that there were 36 large ships, 24 medium ships, and 13 small ships, and that the Korean naval forces had destroyed a total of 63 enemy ships, and the remnants of the main general Wakisaka Yasuharu fled. None of the warships of the Korean navy sank.

After the war, the Korean naval forces were resting against Hong Kong, and Yi Sunsin had to report that the Japanese naval general's fleet of the Nine Ghosts Jialong was anchored at Angupo, but because the weather was bad and not conducive to naval warfare, Yi Sunsin was able to lead his whole army to attack Angupo on 10 July. Forty-two Japanese warships were moored in Angupu, of which 21 were large ships, and there was an ironclad Japanese maru, which was the proud work of the nine ghosts Jialong's life. The Nippon Maru is not only the largest among the Ataka ships, the materials are extremely precious, the hull is laid with iron armor everywhere, it is extremely strong, it can store 1,500 stone of grain, set up 100 oars, can carry 800 soldiers, the deck has three layers of attics, there are many narrow rooms on both sides of the ship can be used for iron cannons, bow shooting and baking throwing, and there is a large cannon on the front and both sides of the hull, which can be described as a huge ship that has never been seen in Japan at that time. Nine Ghost Jialong is also proud of this.

At this time, Yoshitaka Kukiri and Yoshiaki Kato also received a military report of the defeat of Yasuharu Wakisaka on Xianshan Island in Marunouchi, Japan, and Kato Yoshiaki asked: "The seventy-three warships of our army's main force suffered such a great defeat, although I also fought against Yi Sunsin, but I still don't know what the reason is?" Now that the North Korean naval army has won a big victory at Haksan Island, I am afraid that it will immediately attack Angupo, how should we deal with it? ”

Nine Ghosts Jialong said: "I am also extremely surprised by the Korean navy, but now I can't think about it carefully, I am a general of the navy, Yi Sunsin rushed to me day and night, now the morale of the Korean navy should be strong, in view of the previous defeats, this time should not rush to battle, Angupu is mostly shallow water, easy to make the warship run aground, not conducive to the big ship naval battle, if Yi Sunsin comes, he will want to lure me out to sea, I can't hold out, the North Korean navy is difficult for the big ship to enter the bay, the small boat is not our opponent, the key is to try to avoid the North Korean big ship artillery range, Just hold on and wait for reinforcements, not to mention that our army still has Japanese pills in charge, once the reinforcements arrive, they will be attacked inside and outside, and they will kill Li Sunsin! ”

On 10 July, the Korean navy was killed to Angupo, and Yi Sunsin saw that it was difficult for the Banya warships to enter Angupo, so he ordered the front to lure the enemy, and the artillery bombardment clearly showed weakness and evacuation, but the Nine Ghosts Jialong was unmoved, and strictly ordered to hold out, and Yi Sunsin lured the enemy several times to no avail, fearing that the war would last for a long time, and he was afraid that there would be a flanking attack by Japanese reinforcements tomorrow, so he ordered the warships of the whole army to shell inward along the harbor, and the wheels were replaced, and the artillery fired in unison to give the enemy no chance to breathe. And the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka also ordered Kato Yoshiaki to lead his troops to make full use of the Angupu terrain and land to cooperate to resist the counterattack, and the iron guns of the warships replaced the shots, and stood for help. The large barrel cannon equipped by the Japanese pill was extremely powerful and had a long range, which also caused trouble to the Korean naval army several times, but the overall firepower configuration of the Japanese warships was lower than that of the Korean naval army, and it was gradually suppressed.

The North Korean navy repeatedly shelled the harbor, but because of the long range, it was not easy to aim, fortunately, the Japanese ships were also difficult to move easily in the shallow bay, under the fierce battle, the ship position was inevitably misplaced, the two sides fought until night, although the Korean navy fired indiscriminately day and night, the Japanese warships were also broken at night 20 large ships, several small and medium-sized boats, Jiuki Jialong saw that the naval warships lost their combat power without fighting, and they were furious but also deeply felt that the general trend had gone and could not return to the sky, and they were full of resentment, worried that they could not bear the anger of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so they wanted to apologize and were stopped by Kato Yoshiaki, Subsequently, in order to protect the dignity of the pirate daimyo, the Nine Demons Yoshitaka strictly ordered the whole army to cover the Japanese Maru Breakout. The mast of the Japanese Maru's sail has been broken by the North Korean shelling, and he can't Yang Fan, so he can only row desperately with the oars, but the Japanese Maru's body is covered by strong iron armor, majestic, and the firepower is good, plus the rest of the boats cover, the Korean naval army is difficult to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese Maru for a while, and the Korean naval army has run out of shells at this time, Yi Sunsin saw this and ordered to stop the attack, and the troops of the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka and Kato Yoshiaki finally had to get out of Angupo and return to Busan.

After the war, the lieutenant generals Song Xili and Zheng Yun asked Yi Sun-sin: "My lord, the Japanese have been defeated again, and the main elite of the naval army has suffered great losses. Yi Sunsin thought for a while, took stock of the Japanese army and the land and water forces, and then replied: "If I am a Japanese general, seeing that the naval army is difficult to win, I should call the army to rescue and destroy the base. Requests should be made to the imperial court as soon as possible for the allocation of war horses in case of an attack by the Japanese invaders. The main energy of our army is still mainly water warfare. Zheng Yun persuaded Yi Sunsin to march on the grounds that the Japanese navy was now only in Busan, and if they could capture Busan, the Japanese would be completely cut off from the water and land transportation routes. Yi Sunsin agreed, and began to think about the Battle of Pusan.

In the city of Pyongyang, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's cronies ship director Ishida Mitsunari rushed to meet with Governor Konishi, who was very excited to see Ishida Mitsunari in person, and clasped Mitsunari's hands and did not let go of each other's warm and cold feelings. Governor Konishi said: "It is really hard for the young assistant of the Ministry of Governance to supervise the transportation and supply of ships, so why did you come to Pyongyang today? Ishida Mitsunari replied: "Otani Yoshitsu and I were ordered by Taiko, in addition to supervising the transportation and supply, we were also responsible for supervising the various armies and liaising in the center. ”

Because Ishida Mi became a close confidant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Konishi Yukinaga hurriedly asked, "Does His Highness Taiko know the current situation of our army in Korea?" There is a danger that the supply of water will be cut off, Jeolla Province has not yet been able to occupy it, there are many rebel troops in each province harassing from time to time, and Pyongyang is spreading the disease of the disease, and the Myeongkook may come to reinforcements again, and if the war is too long, our lives may not be guaranteed. Ishida Mitsunari said: "Separated by the sea, the battlefield is changing rapidly, His Royal Highness Taiko does not fully understand the situation here, what are your plans, Konishi?" ”

Konishi Yukicho couldn't help but sigh: "Since the Ming Kingdom has entered the war, the war is no longer limited to Japan and Korea, Korea has been defeated, although there are righteous armies in each province, they cannot affect the war situation, and the next step will be the Ming Kingdom and us to lead the direction of the war." With the current situation of our army, if we fight to the death with the Ming State, the outcome is unpredictable, and it is very likely that we will be trapped in Korea. Ishida Mitsunari asked, "Could it be that Konishi, you plan to negotiate with Ming Guo again?" What are the conditions for negotiation? "Konishi replied to the word "cut the ground", Ishida did not know what it meant.

Yukicho Konishi said bluntly: "Stop the war and let the Ming Kingdom recognize the area we have occupied so far as the land of Japan." Ishida Mitsunari thought that it should be difficult for the Ming Dynasty and Taige to agree to this proposal, and Konishi Yukicho said solemnly: "Of course I won't agree, so we must find a way, otherwise it will be difficult for us to embark on the road back to our hometown." There is no way for our army to keep the results of the battle and retreat in its entirety, except to make the Ming State recognize the Korean land cession. After listening to President Konishi's statement, Ishida Mitsunari frowned, and there was no good solution for a while.

In Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi heard that the Korean navy had won another great victory at Xianshan Island and Angupo, and he was so angry that he almost fainted, and after a little calmdown, Hideyoshi was angry: "Only if I go to Korea can I annihilate Yi Sunsin, if that bastard does not block the sea route, my navy can rush to the west coast to join the army and bury the life of the king of Joseon." But it's still a little difficult for me to go directly to the past, Maeda, what do you think I should do with the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka and the others? And how to deal with Yi Sunsin? ”

Maeda Toshiie's advice: "Your Highness Taiko, I don't understand why the Korean naval army led by Yi Sunsin is so powerful. However, the sea route is still under our control, and although Yi Sunsin has won successive battles, he has not yet been able to shake our sea transportation. It's just that you and I are not familiar with the navy, and we still need to rely on the nine ghosts and others to crack the tactics of the North Korean navy. According to the minister's view, His Royal Highness Taige should not severely deal with the crime of the defeat of the navy, and first reprimand and then comfort, showing His Royal Highness's strength and encouraging the morale of the army. In the art of war, it was necessary to order the navy to stop fighting with Yi Sun-sin at sea and hold the harbor, and at the same time to order the army to come to the aid of the army, and to attack Jeolla Province and occupy the Korean naval stronghold, and to defend the coast. In this way, the foundation will be cut off and the bottom of the kettle will be drawn. Yi Sunsin is just a lonely soul at sea, and he will soon run out of ammunition and food, the soldiers will be tired, and the Korean naval army will be difficult to support, and it will be destroyed in a battle. If at the same time, the Nine Ghosts Jialong can have a strategy to break the enemy, and he will get twice the result with half the effort. Hideyoshi was overjoyed, and Maeda Toshiie reported that Konishi Yukicho had repelled the Ming reinforcements in Pyongyang, and briefly described the situation of each battle, and Hideyoshi was even more ecstatic and awarded a commendation.

The Second Army led by Kato Kiyomasa set out from Hanyang, crossed the Imjin River and went north into Hamgyong Province, captured the mountain people as a guide through Gushan and crossed the Lao Stream, and easily defeated the troops of South Hamgyong Province and made a detachment led by Lee Hunsuo to enter Yongxing. But in Yongxing, I suddenly saw a list of texts written: The second prince traveled north through this road.

Nabeshima was quite skeptical about this: "It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the place where the prince passed by, but at this moment, there is a general feeling that the text here is deliberately revealing the prince's whereabouts to us." Kato Kiyomasa also felt strange, but he was even more excited to know that the Korean prince was in front of him, and called for speeding up the march and capturing the Korean prince alive for great use.

The Joseon prince Linhae-kun and the young Shunhwa-jun rushed to Hamgyong Province to recruit soldiers on the orders of their father, the Joseon king Yi Hao, but due to the imminent Japanese army and the defeat of South Hamgyong Province, Linhae-jun was afraid and did not dare to stop too much along the way, so he went to Huiyeong through Motianling to seek assistance from Han Kejun, the military envoy of North Hamgyong Province.

Han Keyun knew that the prince came to greet him in a hurry, Lin Haijun traveled all the way day and night, his body was weak and extremely haggard, and he was overjoyed when he saw Han Keyun coming, and he was panting for help, and urged Han Kejun to send troops to resist the Japanese army's advance. Han Keyun immediately comforted Linhaijun: "The prince doesn't need to panic, the iron cavalry of the six towns of North Hamgyong Province has been stationed at the border all year round to fight with Hu Di, which can be called the strongest army in the world. Linhai Jun and Shunhe Jun felt at ease, and then settled in Huining under Han Keyun's arrangement to recuperate physically and mentally.

Han Keyun immediately assembled nearly half of the elite cavalry in the six towns of Gyeongheung, Gyeongwon, Hoeryeong, Jongseong, Gyeongseong, and Funing in North Hamgyong Province, and marched south from Gyeongseong to Motianling to block the Japanese army. However, Kato Kiyomasa's 2nd Army, which had already crossed the Ferris Ridge due to its day and night journey, met the two armies at Haitingcang on 17 July.

In the bitter cold land of Hamgyong Province, the Japanese army has many discomforts, and the soldiers of the six towns are the only elite left in North Korea, who are good at riding and shooting, fine swords, and have fought in the border passes all the year round, and have been tempered for a long time, so they are extremely brave. Taking advantage of the flat terrain, Han Keyun ordered the soldiers of the six towns to be divided into forty-eight squads to pile out left and right, scatter and avoid firearms, and gallop and shoot, roundabout the circle. The elite soldiers of the six towns made full use of the vast terrain to give full play to the advantages of mobility, and the Japanese iron artillery team was difficult to aim, but was repeatedly shot by bows and arrows, and the Japanese army's standing wooden fence was still not as flexible as the cavalry's flexible shooting, and the morale of the Japanese army plummeted and could not resist.

Seeing this, Kato Kiyomasa urgently ordered the front team to desperately cover, and the rear team retreated into the Haiting warehouse first, moved all the valleys and stones out of the warehouse, and placed them as a city as a cover to resist the arrows. The Japanese army withdrew to Haitingcang, and after separating the valley stone bunkers, they could not defend it with arquebuses. Han Keyun wanted to take advantage of the situation to take this place, so that the soldiers of the six towns were repelled by the Japanese army twice strong attacks, the Japanese army was on the defensive, the arquebus advantage was fully displayed, the Korean cavalry was not good at attacking the fortification, and Funing Fu killed 300 people under Yuan Xi. As the time went down and the two armies were tired, Han Keyun ordered the whole army to retreat to the mountain to defend it, hoping to take advantage of Kato Kiyomasa's attack on the mountain the next day to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

At night, Kato Kiyomasa intended to attack Han Kexuan at night, so he instructed Nabeshima Naoshige and Sagara Yoribo: "This Korean army is really good at fighting, and it is inevitable that our army will suffer heavy casualties if it fights with its strength." There is a huge swampy land next to the Tunling of the Korean army that can be used by us, and Sagara Sebo led 800 elite soldiers to attack the mountain at night, and must lead the entire Korean army down the mountain. Naoshige Nabeshima can concentrate all the iron artillery team on one side, and when the North Korean army descends the mountain, he will shoot with all his strength to disrupt its military situation. I personally led 10,000 troops to take advantage of the situation to break through and drive them into the swamp, and the Korean army would be completely destroyed. Nabeshima and Sagara took the order.

That night, Sagara Sefang spread the banner widely, as the main force to attack the mountain with all his might at night, Han Keyan really hit the plan, saw the Japanese army attacking at night, so that the cavalry of the six towns roared out, condescendingly launched a surprise attack, the cavalry with the help of the terrain to the mountain impact, such as a tiger down the mountain is daunting. Sagara Yoribo hurriedly led his troops to flee, the Korean army took advantage of the situation to pursue to the bottom of the mountain, Nabeshima Naoshige saw the opportunity to order the whole army to fire arquebuses in multiple sections, the cavalry was suddenly shot intensively under the night, and suddenly there was a great chaos, Kato Kiyomasa sent a large iron artillery team in one go, the Korean army suffered countless casualties, and the military horses were frightened and chaotic. Han Keyun was furious, and led his team to kill the iron artillery team with the help of cover, and the Japanese army was wounded and retreated, and then set up a formation to shoot. Han Kejun was about to regroup his army, Kato Kiyomasa led his army from the flank, and the Korean army hastily resisted, although it could still fight, but most of the cavalry was gradually forced into the swamp. Han Keyun secretly shouted that it was not good, and urgently ordered the whole army to assemble and reorganize on the flat ground, and the Korean army urgently allocated several death squads to try to contain the Japanese army and cover the transfer of most of them.

Kato Kiyomasa in order to prevent North Korea from breaking through, shouted for a strong attack, Nabeshima Naoshige led his troops to engage in battle, so that Kato Kiyomasa was able to lead the main force of the Japanese army to repair the encirclement network in a roundabout way to prevent North Korea from breaking through, under the full attack of the Japanese army, although the two armies fought desperately, each suffered casualties, but the main force of North Korea gradually fell into the swamp, and it was difficult to move, and they all died under the projectile of the Japanese iron artillery team. The Japanese army immediately laid siege to the remnants of Liuzhen, and the Korean army collapsed and dispersed, and Han Kejun also fled. There were also many casualties among Kato Kiyomasa's troops, and they were exhausted. Therefore, he had to rest on the spot first, and continue to pursue the land north after dawn.
