The Battle of Anegawa was the second clash between the forces of Oda Nobunaga and those under the Asakura and Azai clans, following the Siege of Kanegasaki from a few months prior, taking place in July 1570. Having been forced to retreat by Azai Nagamasa's forces joining the besieged Asakura forces, Oda Nobunaga joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu. At the shallow Anegawa, both sides plunged into the water to engage the enemy. Tokugawa managed to route the Asakura and crash into the Azai's flank while Oda sent his forces around the other flank, defeating their enemies.[1]
The surviving members of the Azai and Asakura fled to Mount Hiei, being taken in by the Tendai Buddhist sect there. The Tendai, having enough military power of their own prevented Nobunaga from completely eliminating the clans following the immediate aftermath of the battle, but would be fulfilled with the 1571 massacre at the temples.[1]
