現代語訳

誰もその隠れる者はなかった。この頭である大堂六郎右衛門自身は塀下に着いて松倉の人数と一緒に働いて、城中から鉄砲を撃ち、石・飛礫を撃ち、箕に火をあおり、灰をまくこと降雨のごとく、その外槍・長刀をもって防いだ。塀下に着いた者共は石をもって甲を打ちひしがれ、難儀をした。遠野孫兵衛、木村新左衛門、曽我九太夫、山内右馬之助、柘植角太夫、野中平三郎、須賀半三郎、山後治兵衛、同吉左衛門が塀下に着き、寅の下刻から巳の刻に至るまで、松倉勢は御目付から引き取るべき旨の御下知により、塀下から十七八間引き退いた。

竹薮があるところに控えて、重ねて御下知を受け、午の下刻に引き取った。御目付並びに諸家の使者、牢人衆まで見られることである。元日塀下において鉄砲により石井勘七が討死したので、足軽頭がいないため塀から引き取ると、早速岡本新兵衛が申し渡され、右の足軽頭山後音左衛門預かりとなり、二月二十七日まで召し仕えた。所々において竹束・柵を付けさせ、本丸水手門・木戸口において戦い、吉左衛門並びに若党まで手負いして引き取るまで、昼夜油断なく働いた。

坂家古日記に曰く「正月元日寅刻より西北風激しく

英語訳

None could hide from this. The commander Daidō Rokurōemon himself reached the base of the wall and fought together with Matsukura's forces. From within the castle they fired muskets, shot stones and projectiles, fanned fires in winnowing baskets, and scattered ashes like falling rain. In addition, they defended with spears and long swords. Those who had reached the base of the wall were struck by stones on their armor and crushed, suffering great hardship. Tōno Magobei, Kimura Shinzaemon, Soga Kyūdayū, Yamauchi Umanosuke, Tsuge Kakudayū, Nonaka Heisaburō, Suga Hansaburō, Yamago Jibyōe, and the same Kichizaemon reached the base of the wall. From the late hour of the Tiger until the hour of the Snake, Matsukura's forces received orders from the inspector to withdraw, so they retreated seventeen or eighteen ken from the base of the wall.

They took position where there were bamboo groves, received further orders, and withdrew at the late hour of the Horse. This was witnessed by the inspector, messengers from various houses, and even masterless samurai. On New Year's Day at the base of the wall, Ishii Kanshichi was killed by musket fire. Since there was no foot soldier commander, when they withdrew from the wall, Okamoto Shinbei was immediately appointed and entrusted to the aforementioned foot soldier commander Yamago Otozaemon, serving until the 27th day of the second month. They had bamboo bundles and palisades erected in various places, fought at the main bailey's Mizute Gate and wooden gate entrance, and worked day and night without rest until Kichizaemon and even his young retainers were wounded and withdrew.

The Saka Family's Old Records state: "From the hour of the Tiger on New Year's Day, the northwest wind was fierce
