General Cornwallis's troops were bombarded with artillery fire during the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. The American and French forces, led by General George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau, used heavy cannon fire to weaken the British defenses and demoralize the troops. This relentless bombardment, combined with a blockade, ultimately forced Cornwallis to surrender, marking a decisive victory in the American Revolutionary War.
