Siege of Otsu - Tachibana Muneshige and Tsukushi Hirokado's attack
 

Siege of Otsu took place in 1600.

Kyogoku Takatsugu defended Otsu Castle for the Tokugawa. Tachibana Muneshige and Tsukushi Hirokado laid siege. The sides negotiated and Takatsugu surrendered. However, in the meantime Tokugawa Ieyasu had won the Battle of Sekigahara, and the loss of Otsu was insignificant.
