【右丁】   北庄の城主・朝倉土佐守景行を大将として、青蓮華近江守・野尻主馬助・黒坂備中守・溝江大炊介・武曽采女・深町図書・細呂木薩摩守以下、合わせて三千八百余騎が加州へ進発し、月津・御幸塚・庄・安宅・敷地に陣を取った。一揆方へ使者を立て、「先年の約束を違えた以上、速やかに征伐を行う」と言い遣わしたところ、河北郡・尾山の一揆の大将・坪坂伯耆という者の方より、「誤りがあったと存じており、諸民と相談の上、従うべき旨を申し上げる。その間は御延引あるべき」と申し出た。頼りなく思いながらも、各々は陣所を堅固に守っていたところ、青蓮華近江守景基の陣所は御幸塚の東に当たっており、一つの気(気配・雲気)が南へたなびいていた。青蓮華(景基)に添えられていた明智十兵衛光秀がこの気を見て、「東に一気が立ちのぼり、南を犯さんとする気配である」と景基に告げ、いよいよ備えを堅固にした。そうしているうちに、 【左丁】   九月二十日の夜の景(頃)、一揆が寄せ来た。青蓮華(景基)は初めから宿城に堀と柵を構えて待ち受けていたところ、先駆けの一揆二千余人が太鼓を打ち、南方より攻め来た。明智十兵衛、同じく弥平次を先頭として、鉄砲の上手五十余人がつるべ撃ちに掛けたところ、一揆衆は鉄砲という名は聞いていたものの、初めてこのような物に遭遇し、主だった郷民三百余人が打ち倒された。それより東の陣に押し寄せたところ、その手を固めていた真柄十郎左衛門直隆・同息十郎太郎隆基、ならびに随伝坊の三騎が討って出た。真柄父子は当時日本無双の大刀使いであった。常日頃愛用していた太刀は、越府(越前府中)の千代鶴という鍛冶師・有国・包則などが相談して七尺八寸に作り上げ、「太郎太刀」と号したもので、従者四人がかりで担ぐ太刀を、直隆は軽々と提げていた。子息・隆基も「次郎太刀」とて六尺五寸あるものを肩に打ち掛けて二陣に続いた。随伝は樫の(木の得物を持ち…)

英語訳

[Right folio]   With Asakura Tosa-no-kami Kageharu, castellan of Kitanoshō, as commander, [the forces comprising] Shōrenga Ōmi-no-kami, Nojiri Shume-no-suke, Kurosaka Bichū-no-kami, Mizoe Ōi-no-suke, Buso Uneme, Fukamachi Zusho, Hosorogiki Satsuma-no-kami, and others — in total more than three thousand eight hundred horsemen — advanced into Kaga Province and encamped at Tsukitsu, Miyukizuka, Shō, Anata, and Shikichi. A messenger was sent to the ikki forces, declaring: "Since you have broken the agreement of prior years, we shall carry out a swift punitive expedition." In response, the ikki commander of Oyama in Kawakita district, a man called Tsubosaka Hōki, sent word saying: "We acknowledge that there has been a transgression, and after consultation among the people, we intend to comply. We ask that you postpone [your action] in the meantime." Though [the Asakura commanders] found this reply unreliable, they each maintained their positions firmly. At this time, the encampment of Shōrenga Ōmi-no-kami Kagemoto lay to the east of Miyukizuka, and a certain miasma [ki] was drifting southward. Akechi Jūbei Mitsuhide, who had been assigned to serve under Shōrenga [Kagemoto], observed this omen and reported to Kagemoto: "A vapor is rising to the east, and it bears the appearance of threatening the south." Accordingly, their defenses were further strengthened. And then, [Left folio]   on the evening of the twentieth day of the ninth month, the ikki forces drew near. Shōrenga [Kagemoto], having prepared ditches and palisades in the fortified camp from the outset, awaited them. The ikki vanguard of more than two thousand men beat their drums and attacked from the south. With Akechi Jūbei and Yahei-no-ji [Mitsuharu] at their head, more than fifty skilled arquebusiers unleashed a relentless volley [tsurubeuchi], and although the ikki forces had heard the name of firearms, they encountered such a thing for the first time, and more than three hundred of their leading peasant soldiers were struck down. The ikki then pressed toward the eastern encampment, whereupon three mounted warriors who had been holding that flank — Magara Jūrō-zaemon Naotaka, his son Jūrō-tarō Takamoto, and the monk Zuiden-bō — rode out to meet them. The Magara father and son were at that time the peerless wielders of great swords [daitō] in all of Japan. The blade that Naotaka habitually favored had been fashioned — through deliberation among the swordsmiths of Echizen Province, known as Chiyotsuru, Arikunī, and Kanenori — to a length of seven shaku eight sun, and was called the "Tarō-tachi." Though four servants were required to carry this sword, Naotaka bore it with effortless ease. His son Takamoto also slung over his shoulder the "Jirō-tachi," a blade of six shaku five sun, and followed in the second rank. Zuiden carried an [oak weapon...]
