Battle of Fubeyama

The Battle of Fubeyama (布部山の戦い) was fought between an army of the Amago clan which was directed by Yamanaka Yukimori to reconstruct the Amago clan and the Mori clan who was attempting to prevent it.

Background

After the Amago clan surrendered Gassantoda Castle to the Mori clan on November 28, 1566 and the Amago family fell, in order to reconstruct the Amago family, Yamanaka Yukimori and Tachihara Hisatsuna (立原久綱), the past vassals of the family worked to let Amago Katsuhisa who was a son of Amago Sanehisa (尼子誠久) and a member of Shingu-to (新宮党; a party of military elites from the Amago clan) returned to secular life from Tofuku-ji in Kyoto backing him up in 1568.

After they reached Izumo through Tajima and Oki the next year, they dispatched a messenger concerning the intention of the reconstruction of the Amago family, and in five days three thousand troops consisting of former vassals of the Amago family gathered for Amago Katsuhisa.

First they took control of most of their former territories in Izumo Province by destroying Shinyama Castle (新山城) and advanced unresisted to attack Gassantoda Castle, but the castle was so tightly guarded by Amano Takashige (天野隆重), making it inaccessible and impregnable, that they had problems destroying the castle, despite the castle only being guarded by three hundred warriors. They faced even more difficulties with the rebellion of Oki Tamekiyo (隠岐為清), the main force of the Mori family returned from battles in Iyo Province and northern part of Kyushu, while a large army of 13,000 including Mori Terumoto, Kikkawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakage left Iwami Province for Izumo Province. As the Amago army became aware of their movements, they decided to have Amago Katsuhisa stay at Suetsugu Castle (末次城) and stop the Mori in Fubeyama, while they would go through and reach Gassantoda Castle from Iwamiji Road (石見路).

The battle

The Amago army sent a total of 68,000 soldiers who were directed by Yamanaka Yukimori to only two gateways (Mizutani (水谷) gateway and Nakayama (中山) gateway) to Fubeyama and waited for the Mori troops, taking all possible measures. While the Amago army was initially dominant due to the advantageous location, Kikkawa Motoharu found it difficult to defeat the Amago army and obtained information about a by-path from local residents and went up to the top of Fubeyama from the rear side of the mountain, leading a separate battalion of troops. They stormed the troop headquarters of the Amago army from the top of Fubeyama, and the Amago army broke down and ran away.
