The Siege of Ōdaka Castle was an incident in the early career of Tokugawa Ieyasu, then called Matsudaira Motoyasu when he was still a vassal of Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Background[]
Ōdaka Castle, a fortress held by the Imagawa clan, came under heavy pressure and faced a critical shortage of supplies. In response, Tokugawa Ieyasu initiated a diversionary raid against a nearby fortification, compelling the Oda forces to redeploy a significant portion of their troops away from Ōdaka.[1]
Battle[]
Tokugawa Ieyasu subsequently led a pack horse unit into Ōdaka Castle, successfully delivering much-needed supplies under the watch of the now-weakened besieging forces.[2]
Aftermath[]
In 1560, Tokugawa Ieyasu would once again attack the Oda clan at the Siege of Marune.[3]
