Here is another great video by local historian Seishiro Mizuno. I do not agree with everything he has to say, but he makes you think. This video covers Nobunaga's 1554 Battle of Muraki victory. Unfortunately, it came at a cost as many were killed or wounded.
The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 73) "A countless number of Nobunaga's pages and other leading retainers were among the casualties, a sight too horrible for the eyes."
"He returned to his field headquarters, where he issued orders regarding this and that while tears of joy streamed down his face."
Nobunaga's key points for victory
Support from his father-in-law, Saito Dosan. Ando Morinari stationed troops at Shiga and Tabata.
Quick crossing of the sea
Nobunaga's use of firearms
Leadership
Imagawa objective
Strategic: Owari
Operational: Chita Bay
Tactical: Muraki Castle, stepping stone to Owari.
Six years later after Muraki, Nobunaga achieved victory at the Battle of Okehazama.
Tenka no tame!
