（前頁より続き）……ご覧になると、いかなる天魔破旬（どんな強敵）であろうとも、一刻（短時間）では破りがたかるべしと申し上げる。丹後・但馬の者どもは、兵船百余艘＃1に乗り込み、海手（海路）より馳せ来たりけれども、（敵は）弓・鉄砲を伏せ置き、向かう敵を相待ち（迎え撃つ態勢を整え）、少しも相構わず鎮まり居りけれは、中河内口も木目口も、海手・浜手も同じことにして、切り入るべき手立てなけれは、信長公もやや（少し）呆み（あぐみ、手を焼いて）給う。何口々々にも向かい居たる寄手（攻め手）の方へ、鉄砲を狙い打ちに、山の傘（稜線・山頂越し）より打ち越しぬれは、味方に手負い・死人（負傷者・死者）少々出来（出た）せり。

[Right folio]
(Continued from the previous page) ...upon inspection, it was reported to him that no matter how formidable the enemy forces—"even the most diabolical of opponents"—they would be impossible to overcome in a short time. The warriors from Tango and Tajima provinces had boarded over one hundred warships＃1 and came racing in by sea, but the ikki forces had laid in wait with bows and firearms, ready to engage the approaching enemy. Completely unmoved and firmly entrenched, they did not stir in the least. Since there was no means of breaking through—whether at the Nakakawauchi-guchi, the Kinome-guchi, or along the coastal shores—Lord Nobunaga too grew somewhat vexed and at a loss. As the attacking forces directed their firearms toward the enemy positions at each of the various passes, the ikki defenders shot back over the ridgelines and hilltops, resulting in a number of casualties and deaths among Nobunaga's own men.
[Left folio]
Lord Nobunaga, upon hearing of the state of the ikki forces, took with him some forty to fifty horsemen from his close attendants and page guards, and stealthily climbed Kinome-yama himself to survey the enemy's fortifications. Upon returning, he declared: "That such a paltry affair as this ikki should cause such a large force to spend so many days in the field, expending their energy and spirit—this is a great waste. We too shall construct fortified positions (tsukeshiro) and station troops within them to keep the enemy in check." Accordingly, fortifications were built within Kinome-yama, and Isono Tanba no Kami, Aobe Awaji no Kami, and Higuchi Saburōhyōe—these three commanders—were to take turns guarding the position in monthly rotations. As for the Nakakawauchi-guchi...
