Burgoyne wanted three British armies to march to Albany,New York form diffrent directions.So they are surrounded and then they would crush American forces there. Once they controlled the Hudson River the British could stop the flow of soldiers and supplies from New England to Washington's army.

general burgoyne wanted power so badly
British General "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne surrendered his army of 6,200 soldiers to the Americans at the Battle of Saratoga. He was tasked to split the New England states away from the 13 colonies, but after the British forces in New York City marched south to Philadelphia instead of reinforcing Burgoyne, his forces were surrounded by superior American troops. He unsuccessfully fought two small battles in order to break out before surrendering.

General John Burgoyne
There were two battles involved, one on September 17th the other on October 9th. The Colonists won both of the Battles and had surrounded him with a superior force. General John Burgoyne surrendered over 16,000 troops.
He helped the British conquer Fort Ticonderoga, and at first his plan worked, but then the Rebels surrounded him and he was forced to surrender.
