The publication provides a continuation of the translations of books of Shinchō-kō ki , previously published by the author. This is a commented translation into Russian of the book 7 of Shinchō-kō ki chronicle. The text comprises a description of one of the largest military clashes in the Sengoku period - the battle of Nagashino. The army of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu fought the army of Takeda Katsuyori. The victory of Nobunaga redressed the balance of power, which previously existed. The comments to the translation allow to compare the information from the Shinchō-kō ki chronicle to that preserved in other contemporary sources. They are also aimed to display the existing interpretations of the key passages.
