When the war against Ching started in 1636, Yi Yunsaeng recruited volunteer troops and gathered at Won-do (Nak Island). He blocked the path from Ganghwa Island to Namhansansung (Namhan Mt. Fortress) and fought off the Ching army on Jan. 24. The following day, Jan. 25, Yi Yunsaeng and the volunteer troops fought against the attack of Ching's army. During the course of the battle, Yi Yunsaeng and his troops ran out of arrows, resulting to the collapse of the fort and Yi Yunsaeng's death during the battle.
