▲The '''siege of Narva''' ({{lang-ru|Осада Нарвы}}, {{lang-sv|Belägringen av Narva}}), also known as the '''Second Battle of Narva''', was the second [[Tsardom of Russia|Russian]] siege of [[Swedish Empire|Swedish]] [[Narva]] during the [[Great Northern War]] from 27 June to 9 August 1704.<ref>{{cite book|last=Dupuy, Richard Ernest|author2=Dupuy, Trevor Nevitt|title=The encyclopedia of military history from 3500 B.C. to the present |publisher=Harper & Row|date=1986|edition=2|isbn=0-06-181235-8}}</ref>
The siege came four years after the [[Battle of Narva (1700)|first battle of Narva]], where the Russians were defeated by a much smaller Swedish force defending the city. Tsar Peter I marched to the area again with a reorganized army in an attempt to capture Narva and occupy [[Swedish Ingria]], previously a Swedish logistical center and territory ceded by Russia in 1617.<ref name=Tucker>Tucker, S.C., 2010, A Global Chronology of Conflict, Vol. Two, Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO, LLC, {{ISBN|9781851096671}}</ref>{{rp|697}} Marshal [[Boris Sheremetev]]'s force of 20,000 captured [[Tartu]] on 24 June and then Russian forces led by Georg Benedict von Ogilvy besieged Narva, with the garrison under the Commandant Major-General Henning Rudolf Horn af Ranzien and consisting of only 3,800 infantry and 1,300 cavalry.<ref name=Tucker/>{{rp|697}} After a long siege followed by a three-fronted attack, the Russians captured Narva on 20 August 1704, massacring hundreds of its Swedish garrison and inhabitants before Peter I stopped them.<ref name=Tucker/>{{rp|69}} General Horn, several officers and many Swedish soldiers were captured, after roughly 3,200 casualties in the siege and aftermath. The Russians lost up to 3,000 men in total, with some estimates being over 10,000.<ref name="Лексикон">Военный энциклопедический лексикон. Часть 9-я. СПб, 1845, с. 376</ref>
