Mori Nagayoshi, another of Hideyoshi's commanders, waited until Tokugawa moved in to support Ii Naomasa, so that he could flank them.
However, Tokugawa charged forward, rather than swinging around, and avoided the flanking maneuver.
Mori Nagayoshi was shot off his horse, which demoralized Ikeda's force.
Ikeda's head was taken soon afterwards and, despite Hideyoshi's arrival with reinforcements, Ieyasu decided to withdraw, unwilling to risk further casualties, and returned to Komaki.
