Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Nagashino

The Battle of Nagashino marked a revolution in Japanese warfare when Oda Nobunaga deployed approximately 3,000 matchlock-armed ashigaru behind wooden palisades to devastate the legendary Takeda cavalry. Using rotating volley fire, Nobunaga's forces shattered charge after charge of Takeda horsemen. The battle demonstrated that firearms had fundamentally changed warfare in Japan and severely weakened the once-mighty Takeda clan.
