Osprey's examination of the campaign at Nagashino in 1575. When
Portuguese traders took advantage of the constant violence in Japan
to sell the Japanese their first firearms, one of the quickest to
take advantage of this new technology was the powerful daimyo Oda
Nobunaga. In 1575 the impetuous Takeda Katsuyori laid siege to
Nagashino castle, a possession of Nobunaga's ally, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
An army was despatched to relieve the siege, and the two sides
faced each other across the Shidarahara. The Takeda samurai were
brave, loyal and renowned for their cavalry charges, but Nobunaga,
counting on Katsuyori's impetuosity, had 3,000 musketeers waiting
behind prepared defences for their assault. The outcome of this
clash of tactics and technologies was to change the face of
Japanese warfare forever.
