His first two campaigns saw him destroy several isolated Japanese squadrons engaged in coastal raiding activities. Once informed of these attacks, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered his daimyos to assemble their ships in a dedicated task force to meet Yi in battle. In his third campaign, Yi was able to successfully lure out a Japanese fleet and destroy it in August at the Battle of Hansando. Yi and his ships then sunk fleets at Angolpo. To capitalise on this victory, the Koreans then bombarded the Japanese fleet at Busan in September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith period images, colourful artwork and detailed maps, \u003ci\u003eHansando and Busan 1592\u003c\/i\u003e delves into Admiral Yi's tactics, which were decisive to stopping the momentum of the Japanese advance into Korea.
