So Yoshitomo got off to a great start, his division moved quick, the commander was well respected by his troops and managed to move within bow range of the Koreans in two moves. Yi Il struggled to get his cavalry division moving feeling safer on the hill than down on the plain, no matter how hard he tried to move his men they were stubborn deciding only to move to the bottom of the hill and see what happens.
