Wellington had marched from Portugal to France. He had been successful. His men were accustomed to defeating 'frenchies' on the battlefield. They were relatively well trained & for that time relatively well cared for (in most, not all, cases). They said the 'Sepoy General' couldn't attack, just like he didn't at Salamanca & Vittoria. (Wellingtons attacks were devastating in both instances)
Britain essentially won the war (taking the series of wars as one) because France could not break the power of the Royal Navy. The British control of the seas meant that they could move supplies, troops, etc wherever and whenever they liked. It also enabled them to support other continental allies who had armies more suited to opposing Napoleon's.
Perhaps you could say that Napoleon could not defeat Britain, so the British won by default?
