HISTORY DETAILS
As the Tokugawa army was making their way across the river in pursuit of the remaining Osaka forces from the Heights of Komatsuyama, the fog cleared to reveal the entire Osaka army still blundering forward. On the Osaka left was Susukida Kanesuke. Susukida, who was in disgrace at the time of the battle, charged forward near the tomb of Emperor Ingyo and fought valiantly and died in an attempt to redeem his honor. Fighting is also fierce on the right, where Date Masamune, in the area of Emperor Ojin's Tomb, attacked Sanada Yukimura, in command of the Osaka Army. Having lost two powerful leaders, Sanada Yukimura decided to retreat towards Osaka Castle. Tokugawa Tadateru, the sixth son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, is given the order to pursue Sanada's force, but refuses to obey and the Osaka army withdrew in fairly good order.

HISTORY DETAILS
Goto Mototsugu, leading the vanguard of a large Osaka army, had already crossed the Ishikawa River early in the morning of June 3. When his scouts reported that the Tokugawa Army was moving towards the Heights of Komatsuyama, Goto made a dash to take the heights, determined to make a stand at the top of Komatsuyama until the rest of the Osaka army could arrive. Goto and the vanguard managed to hold for some time against strong enemy attacks, but in the morning fog the Osaka army was not making much headway and relief never came. During one of the attacks, Goto is shot, and he committed seppuku. Outnumbered and their leader lost, the Osaka vanguard retired back across the Ishikawa.
