Why did the French defeat the British at fort Duquesne?

When the English marched toward Fort Dusquesne in 1755, the French and their Indian allies hid in the woods. They attacked the English and the English had to retreat. The English lost that part of the battle because they were unfamiliar with Indian tactics. The Colonial Army led by Colonel George Washington was four miles back. He had placed 1/2 of his army in the woods on one side of the road and 1/2 in the woods on the other side of the road. When the French Army chased the British through the Colonial Army, the Americans started shooting from behind the trees. When French and Indians realized they were suddenly losing, the French ran back to their fort and the Indians ran back to their villages. So while the British lost, the Americans won.
