現代語訳

取って逃げた。正月朔日から四月まで寄せ手の勢は皆膝を抱えてそのまま座っていた。

『耶蘇制罰記』によると、松倉長門守の家来井村助兵衛は正月元日に三の丸の塀下に一番に到着し、石で手に負傷した。狭間越しに突撃戦闘を行い、自分が先頭に立って突撃させてから退去した。後に水野周防守忠増が井村助兵衛を招いて四千石を与え、家臣とした。

また『耶蘇制罰記』によると、松倉長門守の軍士宇田杢左衛門は正月朔日に三の丸塀下に一番に到着し、石で手を負傷したが武功があった。松平淡路守綱矩の家来となり五百石を領し、足軽三十人を預かった。

佐野弥七左衛門の覚書によると、元日未の刻夜半時分から、惣左衛門と私兄弟は支度をし、同心二十五人並びに手の者に持楯を持たせて仕寄場まで出たところ、当番の者も支度に帰っており一人も居らず、竹束の後に牢人と見える者がただ一人居た。しばらくして一組で押し寄せてきた。伊藤半右衛門と同名惣左衛門と申し合わせ、真っ先へ出張し、塀から十五六間のところへ押し寄せ、火縄を隠して忍び寄ったところ、有馬玄蕃殿の勢がまだ夜中に敗軍した。先手はしばらく支えたけれども、城

According to the "Yaso Seibatsu-ki" (Record of Christian Punishment), Matsuura Nagato-no-kami's retainer Imura Sukebei was the first to reach the base of the third bailey's wall on New Year's Day and was wounded in the hand by a stone. He engaged in thrusting combat through the loopholes, led the charge himself, and then withdrew. Later, Mizuno Suō-no-kami Tadamasu summoned Imura Sukebei and granted him 4,000 koku, making him a retainer.

Also according to the "Yaso Seibatsu-ki," Matsuura Nagato-no-kami's warrior Uda Mokuzaemon was the first to reach the base of the third bailey's wall on New Year's Day and was wounded in the hand by a stone, but he performed meritorious service. He became a retainer of Matsudaira Awaji-no-kami Tsunanori, received a fief of 500 koku, and was put in charge of thirty ashigaru.

According to the memorandum of Sano Yashichizaemon: From around midnight of the hour of the Monkey on New Year's Day, Sōzaemon and I brothers prepared ourselves, and taking twenty-five dōshin and our men with portable shields, we went out to the approach works. The guards on duty had also returned to prepare, and not one person was present. Behind the bamboo shields there was only one person who appeared to be a rōnin. After a while, one group came pressing forward. We coordinated with Itō Hanemon and one of the same name, Sōzaemon, advanced to the very front, pressed forward to a position fifteen or sixteen ken from the wall, concealed our matchlocks and crept forward stealthily. At that point, the forces of Arima Genba-dono suffered defeat while it was still night. The vanguard held out for a while, but the castle...
