NARVA FORTRESS

Another map showing the Russian siege of Narva, then held by the Sweds, in 1704. Note that this time instead of deploying most of their artillery and army on the 'Swedish side - in front of the powerful Narva bastions in a location that was vulnerable to Charles' counter attack, they placed their artillery on the Russian side around Ivangorod fortress .From these heights they could make the city largelly vulnerable to bombardment.
