The 1545 battle of Kawagoe was part of a failed attempt by Ogigayatsu Tomosada to regain Edo Castle from the Hōjō clan. Ogigayatsu, a member of a branch of the Uesugi family, was joined by his relative Uesugi Norimasa, and by Ashikaga Haruuji. Despite an overwhelming attacking force, numbering around 85,000, the 3,000 men in Kawagoe Castle's garrison, led by Hōjō Tsunanari, held off the siege until the relief force arrived.

  • The 1545 battle of Kawagoe was part of a failed attempt by Ogigayatsu Tomosada to regain Edo Castle from the Hōjō clan. Ogigayatsu, a member of a branch of the Uesugi family, was joined by his relative Uesugi Norimasa, and by Ashikaga Haruuji. Despite an overwhelming attacking force, numbering around 85,000, the 3,000 men in Kawagoe Castle's garrison, led by Hōjō Tsunanari, held off the siege until the relief force arrived. That relief force, numbering only 8,000, was led by Tsunanari's brother, Hōjō Ujiyasu, and a single warrior was sent to sneak past the Uesugi siege lines to inform the garrison of the relief's arrival. Though still strongly outnumbered, ninja spies informed the Hōjō forces that the attackers, Ashikaga Haruuji in particular, had relaxed their vigilance due to their overconfidence in victory. The Hōjō tried a risky tactic, coordinating a night attack between the garrison and the relieving force. Going against battlefield custom, the samurai were ordered to leave behind any heavy armor, which would slow them down and perhaps reveal their position, and to not bother taking the heads of their defeated enemies. This would deny the warriors much honor, as their triumphs would not be known or recorded, but the intense loyalty of the Hōjō samurai caused them to follow these orders. The tactic succeeded, and the Hōjō foiled the siege. This defeat for the Uesugi would lead to the near-extinction of the family.
  • 河越城の戦い（かわごえじょうの たたかい）は、日本の戦国時代に、河越城周辺で起きた戦いで、関東の政局を決める大きな戦いとなった天文15年（1546年）の戦い。この戦いは河越夜戦（かわごえ よいくさ）とも呼ばれる。北条氏康軍と上杉憲政・上杉朝定・足利晴氏連合軍が武蔵国の河越城（現在の埼玉県川越市）の付近で戦闘し、北条軍が勝利を収めた。
  • 河越夜戰又稱河越城之戰，是日本戰國時代關東地方一場戰爭，由上杉憲政為首的聯合軍，攻打由北條綱成所防禦的川越城（今埼玉縣川越市）。最終北條軍以少數的兵力，擊破了上杉的聯合軍，穩固了北條氏在關東地方的地位。
