The countryside to a distance of some ten miles [16 km] around the city was stripped of trees, and the palisade, which proved to be about four and a half miles [7 km] long, took a mere three days to complete.
Apmēram 15 kilometru rādiusā ap pilsētu tika nocirsti visi koki, un vairāk nekā 7 kilometrus garā palisāde tika uzcelta trijās dienās.
