Some history: At Bannockburn
"Bruce was a skilled tactician who knew that there was no way his men could defeat Edward’s army on the open field. Instead, he concocted a plan to use the landscape around Stirling to his advantage."

I started looking at your Robert the Bruce query and came across something else (as usually happens).
Fact #3: West Point is the site of Benedict Arnold’s infamous betrayal.
As soon as it became clear to Arnold that the colonial forces were going to grant him command of West Point, he began to discuss deals to give up the fort to the British. He even sent his British contacts detailed drawings of West Point during his first visit to the fort. Finally, Arnold and the British decided that when Arnold had been placed in command of West Point, he would give up the fort and the American position for 20,000 pounds and British command.
On August 3, 1780, Arnold was given the command at West Point. After establishing himself, he started to weaken its defenses and started planning the downfall of West Point. He met with British Major John Andre on September 21, 1780, to discuss Arnold’s plans to give up the position. However, American forces fired upon the ship Andre planned on taking back to the British position in New York, forcing the ship back downstream. Andre was forced to return over land. Despite Arnold providing him with documents to pass through American lines, Andre was captured, and the plot was revealed. Arnold escaped to the British and American forces hanged Andre.
