Nagashino Screen

 

Here is part of the Nagashino battle and below a clip of the battle from the Nobunaga Taiga drama King of Zipangu. You will notice that the battle screen does have some gunners placed outside of the fence.  However, the video clip has all of the Oda/Tokugawa gunners placed inside the fence.  Which is correct?  The Oda/Tokugawa armies had their gunners inside and outside the fence.  One must remember once most of the firing stopped and the Takeda army was almost depleted, Nobunaga along with Ieyasu sent their army to pursue the fleeing Takeda.  For more information on the Battle of Nagashino in English, it is mandatory that you listen to the Battle of Nagashino podcast from the Samurai Archives.  It is informative and well researched.  

I did like the Nobunaga Taiga Nagashino scene.  It was creepy and eerie.  One of the better ones out there regarding to Nagashino.

Nobunaga no tame!
