On October 9, 1781, 52 siege guns opened fire on Cornwallis's British troops in Yorktown from the first parallel of the Allied siege lines.
After failing to prevent the closer emplacement of the besieger's heavy artillery from a second parallel, the British were subjected to a stronger bombardment on October 17th, which led Cornwallis to ask for an armistice, followed by the surrendering of his army on October 19, 1781.
