Washington knew he was out numbered by the British. The king had sent thousands to fight. One observer reported that the number of ships was so "vast that it looked like all of London were in the ships." Washington played a trick to save his men as the British camped in Brooklyn. He set up a camp and left a thousand men to make the campfires and make it seem as if an large army was there. Then, through the night he moved 10,000 men, cannons, and supplies across the river to escape the British. When the battle of New York did take place the British were better prepared and routed the Americans. They shot cannons with chains and other pieces of metal to rain down on the colonists to hurt them with shrapnel.
