Script error: No such module "Military navigation". Template:Infobox Korean name The siege of Namwon was a military engagement that occurred from 23 September to 26 September 1597. It ended in Japanese victory.
Background
Ukita Hideie marched on Namwon with around 49,600 soldiers on 11 September 1597. They arrived on 23 September.Template:Sfn
Namwon was garrisoned by 3,000 Ming soldiers and 1,000 Koreans under Yang Yuan and I Boknam.Template:Sfn
Battle
The Japanese began by sending 100 soldiers to test the fort's defenses.Template:Sfn
On 24 September, the Japanese filled the trench with straw and earth. Then they took shelter in the burned out houses in the city.Template:Sfn
On 25 September, the Japanese asked the defenders to surrender, but they refused.Template:Sfn
On the night of 26 September, the Japanese bombarded Namwon for two hours while their men climbed the walls and used fresh straw to create a ramp to the top. Unable to burn the moist rice stalks, the defenders were helpless against the Japanese onslaught and the fortress fell.Template:Sfn
Aftermath
Yang Yuan managed to break the Japanese encirclement and escape with 100 men. He reached Jeonju only to find it deserted. The Ming commander assigned to the city's defense, Chen Youyuan, not only ignored the call for help Yang had sent him, but fled the moment news of Namwon's fall arrived. Yang continued to Hanseong and arrived the following week.Template:Sfn
