sent reports of the victory along with a request for reinforcements. But help never came. Between May 11th and May 16th, the French and British batteries exchanged fire. Commodore Swanton's squadron arrived with reinforcements and supplies on May 16th. The British troops again advanced across the Plains, while their fleet attacked the French ships at Sillery. Lvis was forced to lift the siege. He was left no other choice but to fall back to Montreal. Crushed were the hopes of the brave Frenchmen and Canadians who fought here. They had won a hard battle, but lost a country. After the battle, the English losses were over one thousand killed, wounded and missing. The French losses were said to be, one thousand, thirty one killed and wounded. A Battle is only truly great or smallaccording to its results.Mark Twain...
