A few weeks later, a retainer of [[Asakura Kagemori]] named [[Takeuchi Sannosuke]] led a group of men under cover of a rain storm into the Oda camp and set a number of fires (how they managed this in a storm isn't explained) and generally created chaos. In the confusion, the Oda warriors began fighting with one another and all told around 700 men were killed in this manner. A great opportunity existed for the Asai and Asakura to follow up the fiasco in the Oda camp; unfortunately, Yoshikage hesitated and did not move (leaving Nagamasa with little choice but to sit tight). Nobunaga soon after departed the field.
