Soldiers, merchants, exiles, peasants, all devoted themselves to the common safety. A week before the Tartars appeared on the Angara, earth-works had been raised. A fosse, flooded by the waters of the Angara, was dug between the scarp and counterscarp.
Soldaduak, merkatariak, atzerriratuak, nekazariak, den-denak hiriaren salbazioaren alde aritu ziren eginahalean. Tatariarrak Angaran agertu baino zortzi egun lehenago, lurrezko hesiak eraikiak zeuden.
