「これは闘戦を催す気（けはい）である。油断があってはならない」などと申した。近江守は明智を連れて高岳に登り、軍気を観察して、いよいよ備えを固めていたところ、九月二十日の晩方、一揆勢が寄せてきた。青蓮華方は、かねてより宿城の外に堀と柵を構えて待っていたので、明智十兵衛は同（僚の）弥平次を先頭として、鉄砲の上手五十余人が連べ（鶴瓶）放しに撃ちかけたところ、一揆勢は鉄砲という名前だけは聞いていたが、初めてこのような物に遭遇し、ことごとく敗北した。その時、真柄十郎左衛門直隆・同息・十郎太郎隆基、ならびに随伝坊という大力の剛の者が城戸（木戸）より討って出て、この勢いに辟易（へきえき）しているところを、明智が一見して「時分よし」と大将へ申したので、近江守が下知して、赤塚・安原・野坂・立田・河崎・磯部を先頭として駆け出したところ、一揆勢は一支えもせず逃げ散るのを追討にして、首数七百五十余を討ち取った。一揆は御幸塚の合戦に敗北し、総大将・北庄土佐守景行の月津の津

へ降参した。屋形（義景）へ人質を差し出した。その後、諸勢は越前へ引き取り、加州にて軍忠のあった輩には勲功の賞が行われた。真柄父子は今北東郡において千貫の所領を加えられた。明智は、軍気を察したこと・鉄砲の勲功・軍配の諫言が神妙であるとして、義景より感状を賜り、鵇（つき）毛の馬に鞍を置いて（馬ごと）引き出されて（賜った）。
真柄父子は無双の大力であった。常に好んで用いる大太刀は、越府（越前）の千代鶴という鍛冶・有国・兼則などと相談して、七尺八寸に作り、「太郎太刀」と名付け、僕従四人で担いだ。子息・隆基も六尺五寸の太刀を「次郎太刀」と名付け、軽々と提げた。随伝（坊）は樫の棒で一丈二尺あるものを六角に筋金を渡し、手元は丸く拵えたものを（用いた）などと（いう）。
朝倉義景は日を追って威勢が盛んになり、加州・能登・越中まで下知に応じた。若狭の武田大膳大夫義統も縁者であることから、朝倉の

[Right folio]
"This is the vapor that foretells battle. There must be no negligence," and so on. Ōmi-no-kami took Akechi with him and climbed a high hill to observe the martial omen, and was in the process of further strengthening his defenses when, on the evening of the twentieth day of the ninth month, the Ikko-ikki forces came pressing forward. The Shōrenga forces had already constructed trenches and palisades outside their encampment in anticipation, and Akechi Jūbei, with his comrade Yahei-ji at the vanguard, had over fifty skilled gunners fire in continuous volley. The Ikko-ikki forces had only ever heard the name "arquebus" but had never before encountered such a thing in battle, and were utterly routed. At that moment, Magara Jūrōzaemon Naotaka, his son Jūrotarō Takamoto, and Zuiden-bō—all men of prodigious strength and valor—sallied forth from the gates and threw the enemy into confusion. Akechi saw this at a glance and reported to the commander, "Now is the moment!" Ōmi-no-kami issued orders, and with Akatsuka, Yasuhara, Nosaka, Tatsuta, Kawasaki, and Isobe at the vanguard, they charged forward. The Ikko-ikki forces fled without offering any resistance; the pursuing force cut them down, taking over seven hundred and fifty heads. Defeated at the Battle of Gokōzuka, the Ikko-ikki forces surrendered to the commander-in-chief, Kitanoshō Tosa-no-kami Kagetaka, at the port of Tsukitsu,

and submitted hostages to the lord (Yoshikage). After this, the various forces withdrew to Echizen, and rewards were distributed among those who had rendered meritorious service in Kaga. Magara and his son were granted an additional one thousand kan of lands in Konbokutō District. Akechi was praised for his discernment of the martial omen, his meritorious use of firearms, and his counsel in the deployment of forces, and received a letter of commendation from Yoshikage along with a horse of pale yellowish-grey (tsukige) coloring, presented to him saddled.
Magara and his son were men of matchless physical strength. The great swords they habitually preferred were made in consultation with swordsmiths of Echizen (Etchū-fu) known as Chiyotsuru, Arikuni, and Kanenori, and were fashioned to a length of seven shaku and eight sun. The sword was named "Tarō-tachi," and required four servants to carry it. His son Takamoto likewise had a sword of six shaku and five sun, named "Jirō-tachi," which he carried lightly with ease. Zuiden-bō used an oak staff of one jō and two shaku, reinforced with iron bands in a hexagonal pattern, with the grip end fashioned round, and so on.
As time passed, Asakura Yoshikage's power and prestige grew ever greater, and even Kaga, Noto, and Etchū submitted to his authority. Takeda Daizenno-daibu Yoshimune of Wakasa, being related by blood or marriage, [submitted to] the Asakura...
