[[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] (20,000) vs. [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] (10,000)  

[[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.
