The Li clan was a division of the Tokugawa forces. The death of Nagayoshi affected Ikeda’s forces. The Ikeda clan men were too demoralized due to what took place that even when Toyotomi Hideyoshi‘s arrival was reinforced, Ieyasu has decided to withdraw.
The Daimyo decided that it was not worth risking their lives, so he and his men returned to Komaki.
