How did the Trojan horse help the Trojans defeat the Greeks?
It didn't. The Trojan Horse was used by the Greeks to trick the Trojans, allowing the Greeks to breach the walls of Troy and sack the city. After a long series of battles around and in front of the city of Troy, the Greeks were unable to breach Troy's defenses, and were low on morale. The suggestion (attributed to Ulysses) was to use trickery rather than force to break into Troy. Thus, playing on the superstitions and beliefs of the Trojans, the Greeks built a large wooden sculpture in the shape of a horse, and left it on the beach, before sailing away, apparently abandoning the fight with Troy. According to legend, the Trojans saw this mighty horse as an offering by the Greeks to their Gods for a safe trip home. Counseled by priests that the best way to bring the Gods' favor to Troy instead of the Greeks was to bring the Horse into Troy for a celebration, the Trojans did so, and held a huge party. What they didn't know was that the Greeks had merely pretended to leave, sailing but a short distance away (a few dozen leagues). They had left a small band of soldiers hidden inside a secret compartment of the Horse. Late at night, when all the Trojans were asleep after their huge celebratory party, these soldiers slipped out, and overwhelmed the few city guards still awake. They then opened Troy's main city gates, where the entire rest of the Greek army had returned from the fake retreat, and was waiting for the gates to open. Thus, the Greeks gained access to Troy while it slept, and quickly massacred everyone they could. Now, of course, this whole tale is brought to us by (primarily) Homer, and is unknown if (or how much of) it is true. We know Troy existed, and that there was indeed a Trojan war, but how Troy was defeated is not known for a fact.

What did Achilles have to do with the Trojan war?
Achilles was the Greek champion and king of the Myrmidons, a warrior tribe known for its efficiency and ruthlessness. Achilles rage over the death of his friend Patroklos caused him to fight so violently that the Trojans, who had been near victory, were pushed back to the walls of their city. There, Achilles called out Hector, who at first stood to fight, then ran at the sight of Achilles. Eventually, Achilles caught Hector, killed him, and dragged his body behind his chariot for 12 days. Hectors death was a tremendous factor in the defeat of Troy, since without him, the Trojan army was far less effective. He, also, would likely have not fallen for the ploy of the Trojan horse.
