The details of the kassen (battle, engagement) are unknown, but according to "Daisenji engi" (tales of the origin of Daisen-ji Temple) which was completed at the end of the Kamakura period, Yoshichika built a castle at Kumoto (Kumotsuura) and barricaded himself in it, against which Masanori charged leading the troops of three provinces of Inaba, Hoki and Izumo, crossing the sea and the mountains, and he finally killed Yoshichika.
合戦の経過は詳らかではないが、鎌倉時代末期成立の『大山寺縁起』によると、義親は蜘戸（雲津浦）に城を築いて立てこもり、正盛は因幡伯耆国出雲三カ国の軍勢を率いて海を渡り、山を越えて、攻め立て、遂に義親を討ち取ったとある。
