Takeda Shingen laid siege to the castle. Shingen was hit by a sniper's bullet and died later. His army withdrew but his death was kept secret for two years.
The siege of Noda took place in 1573, when Takeda Shingen, encouraged by his victory at the battle of Mikata ga Hara, decided to push further into Mikawa Province.
Noda castle, situated on the Toyokawa (Toyo river), was commanded by Suganuma Sadamichi.
Shingen's kanabori-shū (miners' corps) tunnelled into the castle moat, draining it and depriving the defenders of their drinking water as well as their defense.
