On the plateau, British and American forces met for battle, with the British forming a line on the right and the Americans on the left. General Sheaffe formed a British counter-offensive force of 900 men in a line shoulder to shoulder. The Americans were slightly greater in number but had not been reinforced with troops or arms since the arrival of the Indians. Forced to fight with their backs to the river precipice, they faced a British advance with fixed bayonets and, with no route of escape available, were forced to surrender.
