		At the second battle of Uji in 1184 two samurai vied for the honour of being the first to swim his horse across the river and into action, which one won by telling the other that his saddle girth was loose.
		The result of these different traditions was that the battle of Cerignola in 1503, where volleys of European arquebuses pierced knightly armour for the first time, was effectively a repeat of the Crécy and Agincourt experience using stronger weapons of offence and defence.
		However, the battle of Nagashino in 1575, which was Japan's Cerignola, was far more of a radical change because mounted samurai had never had to contend with any sort of missile volleys.

		In the battle, Ieyasu himself was almost killed, and is said to have been so scared that he defecated in his pants while in the saddle—but did not realize until he had fled back to his castle stronghold in Hamamatsu (Shizuoka Prefecture).
		Although the Battle of Mikatagahara itself was a one-sided victory for Shingen, the Nobunaga-Ieyasu coalition forces lucked out in a big way when Shingen fell ill soon after, then died as his army headed back to their home base of Tsutsujigasaki Castle in Kofu (Yamanashi Prefecture) rather than continuing their advance on Kyoto.

		In 1575, Nobunaga famously broke the power of the Takeda Clan, under Takeda Katsuyori, in the Battle at Nagashino, and, although the Takeda continued to trouble him until their final destruction in 1582, the Nagashino victory, every bit as strategically crucial as Okehazama, strengthened Nobunaga’s political position.
		The Battle of Okehazama in 1560, in which the Imagawa leader Yoshitomo was killed, freed Ieyasu from Imagawa influence and he threw in his lot with the Oda next.
		Although he managed to win a decisive battle, the separate peace that Nobukatsu himself concluded with Hideyoshi left him without any reason for fighting and a truce was signed by the year end.

	Historical Background
		There was some resistance to the use of the weapons by some more noble daimyo but, very soon, every army was armed with guns and where using them in the vanguard of their armies (as opposed to mounted Samurai, see below).
		Anybody interested in the above should research the battle of Nagashino, 1575, which pitted Nobunaga Oda against Takeda Katsuyori and saw the famous Takeda's Samurai Cavalry destroyed by Ashigaru (see below) carrying firearms.
		There was to be a few of more battles fought until the period official came to an end after the Summer Battle of Osaka in 1615 when Hideyoshi's son, Hideyori, was to commit Seppuku, therefore leaving the Shogunate with no rival strong enough, military or right-wise, to challenge its hegemony.
