Good afternoon !
Today I visited Nagashino battle ruins.
This is a one of a famous pic in Japan about Sengoku era, battle of Nagashino.
Many Japanese saw it in elementary school. This battle is Oda + Tokugawa vs Takeda 1575 in Aichi.
In this time, Takeda vs Nobunaga Oda and Ieyasu Tokugawa allience fought fiercely.
Shingen Takeda attacked Nobunaga Oda and Ieyasu Tokugawa alliance to get rich soil for Kai people.
Shingen Takeda is one of a powerful Daimyo (loard) in Kai, and his army was known as strongest in Sengoku era. In the fact, he won many time vs them. But Shingen died 1573, the plan stopped.
After that, Katshuyori inherited Takeda 1573 . Shingen is great Daimyo, so Katshuyori was required greater achievements than him by his vassal and people.
In 1575, when Nobunaga and Ieyasu fought others, Katshuyori attacked Nagashino castle by 15,000 soldiers. Defender was only 500 Tokugawa soldiers, the battle began.
Defender was few but not yield. Alliance reinforcement 35,000 was near lidded by Nobunaga and Ieyasu.
One of a defender “Katshuaki Torii” got out the castle, and succeed to get in touch with this allies. He returned the castle to tell ” reinforcement come “.But he captured.
Takeda ordered him to say “reinforcement is back, never com”. He responded. But shouted to castle ” reinforcement is near !!! ” He was killed, but defender was inspired and succeed protect. This action is one of a turning point.
continued to the next
