Before Nobunaga put Mt. Hiei to the torch and slaughtered the people, he to make sure his surroundings were in check. In late August of 1571 Nobunaga stayed at Niwa Nagahide's residence and his army surrounded the villages of Ogawa and Shimura. It was not long before Shimura was attacked by Nobunaga's army. On the 1st of September 1571, Sakuma Uemon, Nakagawa Hachiroemon, Shibata Shuri, and Niwa Gorozaemon led the attack to destroy Shimura Castle. The result was the total of 670 heads taken by the Oda army. Almost two weeks later Nobunaga led his infamous attack on Mt. Hiei.
Nobunaga no tame!
