The Battle
Though the Toyotomi were vastly outnumbered, they refused to give up without a fight. Yukimura lured the Tokugawa advance force within range of the Sanada-Maru, a small battery of cannons on the outer walls of Osaka Castle, and destroyed them. Ina and Masamune launched attacks on Osaka Castle, but were driven back by Musashi and Yukimura, along with other Toyotomi officers. Ieyasu sent in a cannon unit to destroy Osaka Castle's main gate, but they were stopped by Toyotomi forces. Hanzo infiltrated Osaka Castle and disabled the Sanada-Maru before anyone could stop him. The Tokugawa then launched a massive attack on Osaka Castle, overwhelming its defenders. As the Tokugawa forces entered Osaka Castle, Yukimura mounted his horse, and charged through enemy lines into the Tokugawa main camp, seeking to kill Ieyasu. When Yukimura arrived, Ieyasu fled, leaving Yukimura to fight Hanzo. After killing Hanzo, Yukimura continued to seek out Ieyasu. Yukimura, exhausted, soon found Ieyasu, who named him "Japan's Greatest Warrior". Upon hearing this, Yukimura collapsed, dead.
