Gives clear instruction to militia to fire two or three rounds, pull back and regroup, circle back around and flank the British. Goes over plan several times. They know what is expected. The British don’t expect success.
Plan works. Morgan wins battle and takes a lot of prisoners. Patriot victory. |
