This phase of the war ended in a truce, with the Japanese forces withdrawing into enclaves around the southern port of Busan while the Ming armies largely withdrew to China. In 1593, the Chinese invaded capturing Pyongyang from the Japanese and driving them southwards. However, the Korean strength was in their navy and the vital Korean naval victory of Hansando disrupted the flow of supplies to the invasion forces, forcing them to hold their positions around Pyongyang. The Japanese division under Kato Kiyomasa even started to advance into Manchuria.
