ABSTRACT

The Japanese Invasion broke out in 1592. General Sinlip prepared the defense formation with the river in the rear at Tangeumdae in Chungju. His force was defeated by the Japanese force and he was recognized as a failed General. Why did Shinlip select Tangeumdae of Chungju as the battle ground? It was selected because of the geographical features and the weather. Tangeumdae allowed only one avenue of approach by the Japanese army (倭軍). And Japanese musket (鳥銃) was inefficient because of the wind. Shinlip chose tangeumdae which cavalry troops could effectively. It is concluded that Sinlip made the best selection of the battle site. Probably, the leadership of Sinlip must be reappraised although he was defeated at the battle.
