Prelude
Jinju castle was an important castle that guarded Jeolla province. Ukita Hideie and Hosokawa Tadaoki agreed on taking Jinju castle because if the Japanese captured it, it would open up a new road to Jeolla, and they would be able to attack Gwak Jaeu's guerilla forces hiding in the area. Jeolla was also place for plenty of loot. Ukita also agreed to recapture Changwon, a small fortress that led to Jinju castle. Therefore, an army of 30,000 men to recapture Changwon and Jinju set out.
Yu Sung-in, Commander of right Gyeongsang province, placed his army to in front of the gate of Jinju. General Yu Sung-in requested a permission to enter into the Jinju. However, Japanese arquebuses reached behind the reinforcements. Kim Si-min inevitably reject a request, and Yu Sung-in ultimately agreed to the Kim Si-min's words. The reinforcements were annihilated by the Japanese Arquebuses.
