HISTORY DETAILS
Uesugi Kenshin invaded Noto province in the fall of 1577, prompting Oda Nobunaga to dispatch a sizable army to the relief of his allies at Nanao Castle. Kenshin was initially hesitant to face the great host, but before the Oda army arrived, Nanao castle was captured. When Oda Nobunaga learned that Nanao castle had fallen, he began to withdraw his army. However a skillful nighttime feint by Kanshin, suggesting he had divided his forces, led Nobunaga to order Katsuie to charge against the Uesugi lines at the Tedori River. The Oda charge was repulsed due to the current and inferior close-quarter ability of the ashigaru making up the bulk of the Oda army. Having suffered the loss of 1,000 men, Oda Nobunaga withdrew south. This was destined, however, to be Kenshin's last great battle.

HISTORY DETAILS
The extreme right of the Oda-Tokugawa army was not protected by wooden pallisades, as were the center and left. So when Yamagata Masakage and Hera Masatane charged forward it became one huge melee. Although Yamagata Masakage was skilled in combat, which was also proved this day, he was no match for a hail of bullets, which shot him from his horse. At this point in the battle Takeda Katsuyori ordered a general attack, but even this assault could not break the Oda-Tokugawa lines.

HISTORY DETAILS
On the right, when Baba Nobuharu's attack force emerged from the forest, he also saw an opportunity to defeat his enemies and ordered his cavalry to charge. But because of the forested hill to his right, he could not outflank Oda Nobunaga's defensive position. After recieving heavy casualties Baba's vanguard withdrew. The forces of Sanada Nobutsuma and Tsuchiya Masatsungu, however, continued the attack and momentarily broke through the Oda line. The advance came to a halt, when a number of leaders perished in the hand-to-hand combat. Unable to breach the Oda defences by mid-afternoon, the Takeda were forced to retire and the siege was lifted.

HISTORY DETAILS
Even though Takeda Katsuyori was faced with a numerically superior force, Katsuyori, over the objections of his veteran commanders, opted to attack. Wary of the Takeda cavalry charge, Oda Nobunaga constructed wooden palisades, interspersed with breaks to allow counterattacks. In the center, when the Katsuyori attack force emerged from the forest, he saw an opportunity to defeat his enemies and ordered his cavalry to charge. It was a straightforward fight, with Naito Masatoyo and Takeda Nobukado leading the attack. The Oda-Tokugawa line, held out in the face of a series of Takeda cavalry charges, which could not to break the gunner's resolve. Unable to breach the Oda defenses by mid-afternoon, the Takeda were forced to retire and the siege was lifted. The victory was a measure of revenge for Tokugawa Ieyasu who had lost an army to the Takeda cavalry earlier at Mikata-Ga-Hara.

HISTORY DETAILS
In the summer of 1575. Takeda Katsuyori led his army into the Tokugawa domain and besieged Nagashino Castle. Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu led a combined army to relieve the siege. They established their position on the plain of Shitirabara. Their army contained 3,000 Teppo with European arquebuses purchased from Portuguese traders. Even though Takeda Katsuyori was faced with a numerically superior force, Katsuyori, over the objections of his veteran commanders, opted to attack. Wary of the Takeda cavalry charge, Oda Nobunaga constructed wooden palisades, interspersed with breaks to allow counterattacks. When the Katsuyori attack force emerged from the forest, counting on the Oda gunpowder being wet from the recent rains, Katsuyori saw an opportunity to defeat his enemies and ordered his cavalry to charge. Firing by rank, the Teppo decimated the first wave of cavalry as they tried to close for the kill. Takeda's pride became his downfall. Time and again, he ordered new charges that all failed. Thousands of Takeda cavalry dies as a result. Unable to breach the Oda defenses by mid-afternoon, the Takeda were forced to retire and the siege was lifted. This battle marked the end of the unchallenged ascendency of the mounted samurai.
