Red Box 123 1/72 16th-17th c. Korean Guerrillas Cavalry ent

For much of the 16th and 17th centuries Korea was more or less at peace. There was internal unrest and piratical raids to handle, but the big test for the country’s military class was the Japanese invasion of 1592 to 1598. Only the navy under Yi Sun-sin performed well, and the spectacular successes of the Japanese in the first weeks of the Imjin War provoked many ordinary citizens to take up arms themselves and fight the Japanese either alongside the regular army or entirely on their own account. In battle against the highly skilled and well-organised Japanese the results were often predictable and disastrous, but a wider campaign to harry the vulnerable Japanese supply line and ambush small units as they foraged had a significant impact on the campaign.
