When the Joseon king, Gwanghae-kun, broke the armistice agreement and regained the city of Gyeongju, this also aroused the anger of the Japanese in revenge.

The Japanese then burned the flames of their wrath to the land of Jinju in Korea.

At this moment, the Ukita Hideya received an order from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako Taiko, and the Ukita Hideya assigned Hasegawa, Kiharu, and Hosokawa Tadahei to attack Gimhae, Jeolla Province, Korea.

After gathering forces in Gimhae, Jeolla Province, he went to destroy the volunteer organization in Gyeongsang Province, and after waiting for the Japanese army to capture Jinju Fortress, he would fully capture Jeolla Province.

If the Japanese army does not receive food from Jeolla Province this time, it will cause the Japanese army to suffer from cold and hunger as winter begins.

In the end, they would all die under the threat of Korean officers, volunteers, and natural weather, as well as the control of Yi Sunsin's life supply lines on the southern coast.

Therefore, the rations and weapons of the Japanese could no longer be transported to Busan by sea, so the Japanese army could only think of the means of capturing the Korean city and seizing the land of fish and rice.

At this moment, the Japanese army has gathered as many as 20,000 soldiers, and the Japanese who are ready to attack the city of Jinju at any time are ready to make all preparations.

At this moment, after Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun) received a letter from Yi Sun-sin, the Jeolla Provincial Naval Army, he reported the news that the Japanese were about to attack Jinju Fortress to Wang Shizi Gwanghae-kun.

Therefore, at this moment, the prince of the royal family, Gwanghae-kun, also thinks that the national fortune of North Korea at this moment lies in guarding the Jinju city, and Lord Yoo Sung-ryong (Zhao Kun) at this moment also played the news of the Jinju city to His Royal Highness Seonjo.

At this moment, the defenders of Jinju City are less than 4,000 soldiers, and it is really difficult to defend Jinju City in the face of more than 20,000 soldiers of the Japanese army.

Three months earlier, in July, the Japanese army had been defeated in the battles of Jangchi and Geumsan, so the military plan to occupy Jeolla Province was thwarted.

Therefore, in October, the Japanese army resent most of Hanyang's troops to Gyeongsang-do, planning to occupy Jeolla Province once again, and to do their best to occupy Jinju, the main transportation route leading to Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang-do.

It is necessary to solve the two serious problems of military rations and supply routes at the same time, so as to reverse the stagnation in the invasion of Korea.

However, the Korean volunteers who knew that the Japanese were going to attack Jinju rushed to Jinju and concentrated under the Jinju fortress.

At this moment, the leader of Guo Zaiyou's righteous army from Yining also came to Jinju City, and at this moment, with the assistance of the red-clothed general, Jinzhou City can be saved.

In addition, Cui Qinghui and Ren Qiying from Heshun came to support Jinju at this moment, and Jinju at this moment was preparing to defend to the death with the support of volunteers.

In the defense of Jinju, the soldiers and civilians of Jinju Fortress, regardless of men, women, and children, went into battle to kill the enemy, plus those rebels who came from other places fought with the Japanese army outside Jinju Fortress.

The scene of the Korean soldiers and civilians killing the enemy together is unforgettable, and Kim Si-min, who was in Jinju Fortress at the time, studied the bird guns of the Japanese invaders.

On the basis of the bird gun, he imitated nearly 200 garrisons assigned to Jinju, and let these soldiers train repeatedly and finally strengthened their strong determination to defeat the Japanese invaders.

And when the leader of the Japanese invaders knew that the Jinju defenders had only at least 4,000 people, Hosokawa Tadaheung, who had completely relaxed his vigilance, was very happy because of the advanced weapons of the Japanese invaders.

You can defeat the Korean defenders with completely superior forces, and you can easily win the mission of attacking Jinju.

However, when the Japanese actually erected escalators and attacked the city of Jinju with cannons, birds, and bows and arrows, the attack of 20,000 Japanese was resisted by less than 4,000 Korean defenders.

This also shocked Hosokawa Tadashi, and at the same time, it also showed that he did underestimate the determination of the Koreans to defend the city of Jinju.

In the end, after Hosokawa Tadashi ordered the final attack with a bird gun, the soldiers and civilians defending the city took great risks to continue to hold the city.

Even with the use of stones and axes, the siege ladder was destroyed, and just after the siege escalator was destroyed, the North Korean officials and military used imitation bird guns.

The condescending and merciless shooting at the Japanese soldiers under the city further led to heavy casualties among the Japanese soldiers.

On the third day after the battle began, Kim was badly wounded and unable to continue the battle, and Hosokawa Tadashi knew about it and immediately commanded the Japanese army to launch a fierce attack.

Trying to take advantage of this opportunity to break the will of the Korean defenders, the Korean defenders were in a very passive position after losing their unified commander.

At this moment, after learning that the Japanese invaded Jinju, General Guo Zaiyou personally led 2,000 rebel troops to support Jinju.

and made a long-distance raid on the camp of the Japanese invaders, so that those unsuspecting Japanese invaders thought that Guo Zaiyou was a red-clothed general who fell from heaven.

Many people in the Japanese army were afraid of General Guo Zaiyou at this moment, and finally after the six-day battle for the defense of Jinju Fortress began on October 5.

Hosokawa Tadashiko finally realized that if he continued to attack, he would cause more casualties among the Japanese soldiers, so he ordered the entire army to retreat.

The Battle of Jinju City ended with less than 6,000 Korean soldiers and civilians defending Jinju City.

During this period, the great victory of Jinju and the great victory of Yi Sunsin's naval victory of Haksan Island, together with the great victory of Kwon Li Xingju and the subsequent victory of Kwon Li Xingju, became the three great victories of the Imjin and Japanese Rebellion in Korean history.

The victory of Jinju was a great feat of defending Jinju by the official army and the rebel army, and the defense of Jinju Fortress was also known as the worst defeat in the seven years of fighting in the country of the Japanese Invaders.

The first large-scale victory on land after the victory in Jinju also greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the North Korean officers and troops to defend Korea.

From this point of view, the Battle of Jinju can be said to be a great turning point in the history of Joseon, and the prince Gwanghae-kun, who heard about the victory in the Battle of Jinju.

At first, I couldn't believe that there were only more than 6,000 Korean soldiers and civilians who could defend the city of Jinju, so when the news of the victory reached His Royal Highness Seonjo, His Highness was so happy.

At this moment, the Korean minister Chung Cheol, who was beside His Royal Highness Seonjo, suggested that His Royal Highness Seonjo send troops to attack and recover Pyongyang.

Taking advantage of the current victory in Jinju City, it is better to recover Pyongyang City as soon as possible, not to mention that it is difficult for the Japanese soldiers in Pyongyang City to resist the attack of the North Korean official army because of the disease of the soil.

So at this moment, the ministers are suggesting an attack on Pyongyang, but the sane Seonjo still rejected the ministers' kindness.

Therefore, at this moment, His Royal Highness Seonjo still wants to wait for the support of the Ming army, but militarily speaking, it is indeed an excellent opportunity to attack and recover Pyongyang at this moment.

And just after the great success of the Jinju Defensive Battle, there was absolutely bad news delivered.

The two princes of Joseon, Linhae-kun and Ho-soon-kun, were presented by the Korean people to Kato Kiyomasa, the leader of the Japanese bandits who occupied Hamgyong Province.

At this moment, the two princes have been in trouble, and how to rescue the two princes is a very serious problem, and it is a big trouble for the Korean court.

And will Kiyomasa Kato guarantee the survival of the two princes?

This depends on the fate of the two princes, and it also depends on how the prince Guanghaijun should deal with it.
