Scouting definitely plays a part, I find that the attacking power of my swords are lessened greatly even if a non-disadvantageous formation is chosen, and of course more so if it was a formation that decreases attack power (square formation).

Since your team only has one sword that isn't weakened by night battle, I would say it's a combination of the weakening of swords plus formation that leads to the 1 damage. Also if your sword levels are on the lower end of the kebiishi level bracket (early 70s in your case) the weakening would be amplified even more so.
