A total of around 55,000 troops with the help of singijeons and hwachas then besieged the fortress. The allied force made several assaults on the castle, but all attempts were repulsed by concentrated gun fire. However, the Japanese suffered heavily as well, with more than 600 men being killed and numerous more wounded. By the tenth day of the siege, the Japanese garrison was on verge of capitulating because of hunger and cold, but reinforcements under the overall command of Mōri Hidemoto came across the river to aid the besieged fortress, threatening the rear of the Chinese and Korean troops.

  • A total of around 55,000 troops with the help of singijeons and hwachas then besieged the fortress. The allied force made several assaults on the castle, but all attempts were repulsed by concentrated gun fire. However, the Japanese suffered heavily as well, with more than 600 men being killed and numerous more wounded. By the tenth day of the siege, the Japanese garrison was on verge of capitulating because of hunger and cold, but reinforcements under the overall command of Mōri Hidemoto came across the river to aid the besieged fortress, threatening the rear of the Chinese and Korean troops. The Ming commander Ma Gui began to realize the dangerous position of the allied forces, and late on January 3 decided to call off the attack and pull out of the area before the situation deteriorated any further. However, the calculated retreat quickly broke down and turned into a chaotic rout. The hasty and sudden timing, the heavy rain, the lack of discipline among the troops, and the quickly approaching Japanese forces all contributed to panic. In addition, the chief administrator present at the battle, Yang Hao; left ahead of the troops, which only strengthened the impression that the intended calculated withdrawal was really a chaotic rout. With the advance of the relief force imminent, and seeing the disorganized withdrawal of the besieging force, the besieged Japanese garrison sallied forth and made a joint attack with the relief force. The allied forces retreated from Ulsan, and the siege of the fortress was suspended. After the defeat, in May, 1598, the Ming government called General Yang Hao back and sent another army of about 20,000 men led by Liu Ting and a navy of about 13,000 men and 500 battleships led by Chen Lin and Deng Zilong to Korea.
