Battle of Shiro Iuchi

The Battle of Shiro Iuchi was one of the most notable battles of the War of Spirits.

Battle
The Steel Chysanthemum's armies had surrounded Shiro Iuchi and had almost stormed it until the Imperial Legions, Bayushi Paneki and the Scorpion armies, and the forces of Morito arrived, eventually routing the spirit armies. Paneki had poisoned the food of the spirit army the day before the attack.

Aftermath
The decisive victory led to the recognition of Morito and his followers as the Ox Clan in 1145.
