He was always thinking of ways to sneak or trick the British, examples are secret marches. He always getting his troops ready for war. He always knew when they needed to retreat if it really called for it. Meaning he didn’t risk more men getting killed than necessary.

For example Colonel Johann Rall had received warnings of colonial movement but his men were unprepared and were drunk from a Christmas celebration. This shows that his troops were unprepared and mirrored on how effective the leadership was.

He kept the march secret by extinguishing the torches and wagon wheels were muffled in heavy cloth. The British were not expecting them to disappear. The march was because Washington heard that Trenton did not have much security.
