Narva River
The Swedes and the Russians together repaired the Kamperholm Bridge through which capitulated troops crossed to the right bank of the Narva River. The highest Russian commanders remained with the Swedes, initially as hostages, in order to ensure the fulfillment of the terms of surrender. But later, Charles violated the treaty and kept them as prisoners. The Swedes explained this act by not receiving the treasury of the army. Sheremetev with his cavalry marched to the south along the left bank of Narva river to "Syrensk", crossed the river on the bridge there and thus escaped captivity.
