Battle of Muraki Link



My Sengoku warfare colleague Hide has an article on the Battle of Muraki 1554.  http://sengokushiseki.com/?p=1408

His blog post describes the Battle of Muraki landmarks and I have been there myself many times. 

The Battle of Muraki was a key victory for Nobunaga and it was warm up for the Battle of Okehazama. 

For the Imagawa here are the targets.

Strategic: Owari
Operational: Chita Bay
Tactical: Muraki, a stepping stone to the heart of Owari.

Key points for Nobunaga's victory.

  1. Support from his father-in-law, Saito Dosan.
  2. Quick crossing of the Ise Bay.
  3. Nobunaga's use of firearms.
  4. Leadership.


Tenka no tame!
