Hiuchiyama (火打ち山 was one of Minamoto no Yoshinaka's fortresses in Echizen Province , Japan . In April and May 1183, a Taira force led by Taira no Koremori attacked the fortress.[1]
It was built on rocky crags, and well-defended; the Minamoto had even built a dam to create a moat. However, a traitor within the fortress tied a message to an arrow, firing it into the Taira camp, and revealing a way to breach the dam and drain the water. The castle soon fell to the Taira , but Yoshinaka and much of his forces survived and escaped.[2] [3]
