A Siege by Korean and Chinese Forces against the Japanese fortification of Sacheon.

1593-1598

Sacheon is a natural harbor located on the southern coast of Jeonra province in Korea. Following the retreat of the Japanese from Seoulin 1593, Forces under Konishi began fortifying the harbor, creating an impressive Japanese style castle on the site of a unmaintained Korean fort, dating back to Unified Sinla period. The main keep of the Castle was built directly on top of the old Sinla fort. By 1598, the catle contained an inner wall around the keep, surrounded by a natural moat which filled with sea water during high tide only, allowing ships to enter the moat. The outer wall encompassed a much larger area with additional guntowers and several fortified gates.
