They were not expected to win the battle due to the fact that they were in conflict with one of the strongest armies. General Montgomery and General Arnold wanted to surround the city of Quebec from the east and west. However, by the time that they had gotten there, the British army had nearly double the troops and they had already fortified the city. Instead of attacking head-on through the walls of the city, General Montgomery decided to go through the less secured shores of the river. But many aspects caused the attack to be ineffective.
