The was the first defeat suffered by

ashigaru armed with Chinese
arquebuses, who were meant to serve as support for archers. All in all, 700 of Takeda's men were killed, including Itagaki, and two other generals,
Amari Torayasu and
Hajikano Den'emon. Shingen himself even suffered a spear wound to his side.
