Battle of Byeokjegwan

February 27, 1593 · North of Seoul Theater

The Ming advance stopped; the war settles into stalemate.

February 27, 1593

Li Rusong, overconfident after Pyongyang, pushed toward Seoul with his cavalry ahead of his artillery and was ambushed in narrow, muddy ground at Byeokjegwan by a much larger Japanese force. His horsemen could not manoeuvre; he barely escaped, and pulled back north to Kaesong.
