The Hungarians started to deploy their field artillery on the heights surrounding the castle: the Gellért Hill (one battery of six 6-pound cannon and one 7-pound howitzer), on Naphegy (half a rocket battery: 4 rocket stands), Kissváb Hill (one battery of three 12-pound cannon, two 7-pound cannon, and two 10-pound howitzers), Kálvária Hill and Kis-Rókus Hill (one battery of eleven 7-pound howitzers spread across the two).. The battery closest to the castle was the one on Naphegy, away. Altogether 5 batteries of artillery were deployed on the hills near the castle (25 cannon and howitzers and 4 rocket stands)..
