In 1354, he participated in the battle of Gowoosung(高郵城) at the request of Yuan Dynasty as the Great Hogun(大護軍) On June 16, 1357, when the Red Turban(紅巾賊) invaded, Lee Bang-Sil was appointed to the pyunbee(偏裨), after that defeated the Red Turban by fighting with Ahn Woo(安祐) in Cheolju(鐵州) On December 11, 1359, and won over Cheolhwa(鐵和) battle as the Above General(上將軍) in January 16, 1360. After that he was promoted to the Ahnjoo(安州) Above Manho(上萬戶) in 1360. He won the battle several times, including battle of Hamjong(咸從), and swept away the remnants of the Red Turban who had stayed in Pungju(豊州), and he was awarded for his merits and went up to the Choosung hyeubbo meritorious retainer(推誠協輔功臣) Royal Secretariat(Chumilweon) Boosa(副使). He became the seebukmyundo commander(西北面都指揮使) in 1361, preparing for the second invasion of the Red Turban, and then was appointed to the joongseo(中書) pyungjangjeongsa(平章政事). As a marshal, he led the repulsion of the Red Turban and the successful operation of the capture of Gaegeong(開京). However, he made a mistake to remove Jung Se-un(鄭世雲) who made a contribution to recapture Gaegeong in the conspiracy of Kim Yong(金鏞), an aide of King Gongmin(恭愍王). After that, Lee Bang-Sil was also killed with Ahnwoo, Kim Deuk-bae in the plot of Kim Yong. In 1391, the three marshal murder case by the declaration became a lottery by the request of Bang Sa-rang(房士良). However, historians of the Joseon Dynasty also made it clear that it was difficult to say that it was not what King Gongmin ordered. In the end, it is thought that the death of Lee Bang-sil, and others. were an event that was revealed, due to the head of the military power of the three marshal, the king's doubt concerning the major, and confrontation and conflict between the senior statesman and the highest rank general at the time of a big change in the invasion of the Red Turban. There was also a problem inside the command system.
