Its because he decided to lead his men through "shortcuts" through swamps and forests which actually slowed them down.

Answer:

General John Burgoyne, led the British Forces through 2 battles in the American Revolutionary war, but surrendered due American forces were superior and his army was tired due to the long journey to the battle field going through swamps and deep forests believing they were taking shortcuts, which made them take so long for that meeting.
