The Ôuchi relief army, consisting of 10,000 men led by [[Sue Harukata]], finally departed Suo Province in the 11th month, pausing on [[Miyajima]] at offer prayers for victory at the Itskushima Shrine before landing in Aki and marching for Koriyama. They arrived outside Koriyama on the 3rd day of the 12th month, four months after the siege had begun. A series of skirmishes ensued between the opposing armies. Combat intensified in the following month, the 1st of 1541, and largely to the detriment of the Amako. By this time the Amako force that had threatened the Shishido arrived and became heavily engaged in an attack by the Môri and Ôuchi on the Amako's headquarters on Tenjinyama [天神山]. In ensuing action Amako Hisayuki was killed by an arrow and the Amako suffered heavy losses. In the wake of this fight, the Amako retainers, noting the army's dwindling supplies and poor morale, elected to retreat. The Môri and Ôuchi duly pursued but were hindered by snow.
