The battle of Lexington. Indeed the British troops engaged at Lexington were the same who had to carry on the march to Concord.
British soldiers secretly began their march from Boston to Concord on the night of April 18, 1775. Their mission was to seize colonial military supplies stored in Concord and arrest revolutionaries. This movement ultimately led to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, marking the start of armed conflict in the American Revolutionary War.

After Lexington, the British went to Concord, Massachusetts.
Only Lexington!!
They were actually marching to Concord, but Lexington was on the way. They wanted to get from Boston to Concord MA to seize the ammunition stored there, so the colonial militia wouldn't use it against the British. In that time, there were really only a few routes from Boston to Concord because everything was forest or farmland. The route ran through Lexington, and the militia there were alerted to the British approach, so they came out to delay the British from getting to Concord. This delay, which became the "Shot Heard Round the World" when a skirmish broke out, gave the Concord militia enough time to remove a lot of ammunition and gave revolutionary leaders time to escape capture. The "battle" on Lexington Green was the first actual battle of the American Revolution.
