The French were in their fort on the Plains of Abraham, waiting for the British to arrive. They knew the British were coming, from rumours and spies. But when the British arrived in June, the French were not prepared, and they did not have all their troops with them. The siege lasted three months. The French attacked; each side had about 4500 troops in the battle. Many of the French troops were not trained as well as the British troops. Montcalm and Wolfe both died.
