It is said that someone in the woods fire their gun three times hide until all the soldiers came toward them then surprised attacked the soldiers that came to the woods to check where the firing came from. Then again this is just a rumor, I don't necessarily know what exactly happened but you should get at least an idea of what happened. --source Abeka history of the world 12th edition senior level.
The defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown was due to a successful combined siege by American and French forces, led by General Washington and Rochambeau, trapping the British on a peninsula. This prevented Cornwallis from escaping or receiving reinforcements, ultimately leading to his surrender on October 19, 1781. The victory was pivotal in securing American independence from Britain.
