This ridge ended near <a href="/wiki/Meriam%27s_Corner" title="Meriam's Corner">Meriam's Corner</a>, a crossroads about a mile (2 km) outside the village of Concord, where the main road came to a bridge across a small stream. To cross the narrow bridge, the British had to pull the flankers back into the main column and close ranks to a mere three soldiers abreast. Colonial militia companies arriving from the north and east had converged at this point and presented a clear numerical advantage over the regulars.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The British were now witnessing once again what General <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Gage" title="Thomas Gage">Thomas Gage</a> had hoped to avoid by dispatching the expedition in secrecy and in the dark of night: the ability of the colonial militiamen to rise and converge by the thousands when British forces ventured out of Boston. As the last of the British column marched over the narrow bridge, the British rear guard wheeled and fired a volley at the colonial militiamen, who had been firing irregularly and ineffectively from a distance but now had closed to within musket range.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The colonists returned fire, this time with deadly effect. Two regulars were killed and perhaps six wounded, with no colonial casualties. Smith sent out his flanking troops again after crossing the small bridge.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On <a href="/wiki/Brooks_Hill" title="Brooks Hill">Brooks Hill</a> (also known as Hardy's Hill) about 1 mile (1.6 km) past Meriam's Corner, nearly 500 militiamen had assembled to the south of the road, awaiting an opportunity to fire down upon the British column on the road below.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Smith's leading forces charged up the hill to drive them off, but the colonists did not withdraw, inflicting significant casualties on the attackers. Smith withdrew his men from Brooks Hill, and the column continued on to another small bridge into Lincoln, at Brooks Tavern, where more militia companies intensified the attack from the north side of the road. </p><p>The regulars soon reached a point in the road, now referred to as the "<a href="/wiki/Bloody_Angle_(battle)" title="Bloody Angle (battle)">Bloody Angle</a>", where the road rises and curves sharply to the left through a lightly wooded area.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At this place, the militia company from <a href="/wiki/Woburn,_Massachusetts" title="Woburn, Massachusetts">Woburn</a> had positioned themselves on the southeast side of the bend in the road in a rocky, lightly wooded field. Additional militia flowing parallel to the road from the engagement at Meriam's Corner positioned themselves on the northwest side of the road, catching the British in a crossfire, while other militia companies on the road closed from behind to attack. Some 500 yards (460 m) further along, the road took another sharp curve, this time to the right, and again the British column was caught by another large force of militiamen firing from both sides. In passing through these two sharp curves, the British force lost thirty soldiers killed or wounded, and four colonial militia were also killed, including Captain Jonathan Wilson of <a href="/wiki/Bedford,_Massachusetts" title="Bedford, Massachusetts">Bedford</a>, Captain Nathan Wyman of <a href="/wiki/Billerica,_Massachusetts" title="Billerica, Massachusetts">Billerica</a>, Lt. John Bacon of <a href="/wiki/Natick,_Massachusetts" title="Natick, Massachusetts">Natick</a>, and Daniel Thompson of <a href="/wiki/Woburn,_Massachusetts" title="Woburn, Massachusetts">Woburn</a>. The British soldiers escaped by breaking into a trot, a pace that the colonials could not maintain through the woods and swampy terrain. Colonial forces on the road itself behind the British were too densely packed and disorganized to mount more than a harassing attack from the rear.<sup id="cite_ref-Fischer226227_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fischer226227-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As militia forces from other towns continued to arrive, the colonial forces had risen to about 2,000 men. The road now straightened to the east, with cleared fields and orchards along the sides. Lt. Col. Smith sent out flankers again, who succeeded in trapping some militia from behind and inflicting casualties. British casualties were also mounting from these engagements and from persistent long-range fire from the militiamen, and the exhausted British were running out of ammunition.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Battle_of_Concord,_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_(NBY_22339).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/The_Battle_of_Concord%2C_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_%28NBY_22339%29.jpg/300px-The_Battle_of_Concord%2C_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_%28NBY_22339%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="300" height="190" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/The_Battle_of_Concord%2C_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_%28NBY_22339%29.jpg/450px-The_Battle_of_Concord%2C_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_%28NBY_22339%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/The_Battle_of_Concord%2C_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_%28NBY_22339%29.jpg/600px-The_Battle_of_Concord%2C_Milwaukee_Public_Museum_%28NBY_22339%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="828" data-file-height="525" /></a><figcaption><i>The Battle of Concord</i> (unknown date)</figcaption></figure> <p>When the British column neared the boundary between Lincoln and Lexington, it encountered another ambush from a hill overlooking the road, set by Captain <a href="/wiki/John_Parker_(captain)" title="John Parker (captain)">John Parker</a>'s Lexington militiamen, including some of them bandaged up from the encounter in Lexington earlier in the day.

There is no record that any soldiers on either side were armed with longer-range, more accurate rifles. Dr. Benjamin Church, a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and the Committee of Safety, informed General Gage in March 1775, that the colonial militiamen "from their adroitness in the habitual use of the firelock suppose themselves sure of their mark at a distance of 200 rods". Even if Church meant yards rather than rods (600 feet versus 3300 feet), it is unclear whether he was profoundly ignorant of the capabilities of a musket, was exaggerating in order to mislead Gage (as Church later claimed when accused of being a spy), or was ridiculing the American militiamen. See <a href="#Philbrick">Philbrick</a>, p. 92, and <a href="#French">French</a>, p. 57-58.

It has been used uncritically by many historians of the battle and is perpetuated by the National Park Service." The Interim Report of the Boston National Historic Sites Commission, submitted to Congress in 1958 in support of legislation that established the Minute Man National Historical Park, asserted that: "Fittingly, this curving section of the road was <i>soon to be named</i> 'The Bloody Angle'." (p. 47; emphasis added). However, there is no evidence that the term Bloody Angle was ever used by the battle participants or local residents following April 19, 1775, nor did historians use the term prior to the mid-20th century.
