[[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] (20,000) vs. [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] (10,000)
Learning of the death of [[Oda Nobunaga]] at the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide, Hideyoshi quickly signed an armistice with the [[Mori]] and raced back to the Kyoto region. Akechi, who had failed to gather any support beyond those familes already loyal to the Akechi, was confronted at [[Yamazaki]] on 2 July. His troops failed to take the locally important [[Tennôzan]] and were routed when flanked after Hideyoshi's army forced a crossing of the Enmyôji River. Mitsuhide himself was killed attempting to flee to [[Sakamoto Castle]], which fell soon afterwards to [[Hori Hidemasa]].
Yet, as fate would have it, Oda Nobunaga himself was killed by Akechi Mitsuhide just days later, and the Uesugi would be granted a reprieve.
KIA: (Akechi, in the immediate aftermath) Akechi Mitsuhide, [[Saito Toshimitsu]].
KIA: (Uesugi) [[Tadanume Yasushike]], [[Takemata Yoshitsuna]], [[Yoshie Kagesuke]], ect...
