現代語訳

を置き、人数を増やさず、加治清右衛門、和田太郎兵衛、間野徳右衛門、侍待の富岡六郎左衛門、半田茂兵衛、並びに槍持一人、差物持一人、以上七人を連れて本丸近くまで進んだ。差物を伏せて勢いを隠し、間道を通って差物を自身に差し、本丸の間まで馳せ入り、寄せ手の薄い所を見計らって、すぐに土手を欠き上った。供の者どもが申すには「これは雑人のような働きでございます。足軽の一組にも先を払わせて城に乗り込むのが然るべきでしょう」と言って土手に手をかけて上ろうとしたが、槍を横にして鎧に取り付き、引き連れようとしたが、ついに承知しなかった。その内に伊豆守から「なぜ抜け駆けをするのか。早く帰るべし」と酒井三十郎を使って制せられたが、

用いず、また岩上角之助を使って申されるには「そなたが薄手を負ったと承れば、我が身も乗り込んで討死と極めている。心持ちがあるなら必ず帰るべし」との義であると申し、具足の羽織の左の袖に取り付いて放さない。甲斐は怒って脇差に手をかけ、半ば以上これを抜いたが、脇からこれを押し止める。角之助は袖を放さず「いかなる道にても主君の用に立つのも同じことです」と心を傾けて申す内に、供の者どもが馳せ付けて前後を取り囲んだ。その内に伊豆守の制止の言葉が度々に及び、また井上筑後が出向いて制せられ、ようやく暮れ前に備えの場に帰った。その後、中坊長兵衛は蓮池の方へ参られ、暮れに及んで本丸は

英語訳

[the battle standard] was placed, and without increasing the number of troops, he took seven men - Kaji Seiemon, Wada Tarohyoe, Mano Tokuemon, attendant Tomioka Rokurōzaemon, Handa Mohyoe, along with one spear-bearer and one standard-bearer - and advanced to near the main keep. He concealed his momentum by lowering the battle standards, took a secret path, placed the standard on himself, and rushed into the area near the main keep. Looking for weak points among the attackers, he immediately began scaling the earthwork. His attendants said, "This is work fit for common soldiers. It would be proper to have a unit of light infantry clear the way before entering the castle," and tried to climb the earthwork by placing their hands on it. But he held his spear horizontally against their armor to restrain them, and though he tried to lead them along, they ultimately would not consent. Meanwhile, Izu-no-kami sent word through Sakai Sanjūrō asking "Why are you making an independent charge? You should return quickly," but this was ignored.

Then through Iwagami Tsunosuke came the message: "If I hear that you have been wounded, I am also resolved to charge in and die in battle. If you have any consideration, you must return." Tsunosuke grabbed the left sleeve of his armored coat and would not let go. Kai became angry and put his hand on his short sword, drawing it more than halfway, but someone restrained him from the side. Tsunosuke would not release the sleeve, saying earnestly "Even by any path, serving one's lord is the same thing." While he was speaking with heartfelt sincerity, his attendants rushed up and surrounded him from front and back. During this time, Izu-no-kami's restraining words came repeatedly, and Inoue Chikugo also came forward to restrain him. Finally, just before nightfall, he returned to his position. After that, Nakabō Chōhyoe went toward Renchi, and as night fell, the main keep...
