Gwon Yul won the Battle of Haengju with 2,300 troops against 30,000 Japanese soldiers

The math was not mathing and yet Gwon Yul said 'we fight.' Battle of Haengju, 1593. His garrison had around 2,300 troops including civilian women who carried stones in their aprons to use as ammo (this is where the term 'haengju chima' comes from btw). They fought off NINE waves of Japanese attacks. 30,000 soldiers. The fortress held. Gwon Yul didn't have some genius tactical trick — he just had a defensible position, desperate people, and absolutely zero intention of retreating. After the battle he was so calm about it that people thought he was either the bravest man alive or completely insane. Probably both.
