2. THEY TRIED TO LOOK LIKE THEY HAD MORE SOLDIERS
To add to the illusion that the Americans were facing more enemy troops than they actually were, Isaac Brock had his men create individual campfires instead of one per unit. It's a very old trick, used often in major battles throughout history.
Plus, the Canadian militia would march across the American field of view, then duck under their defenses, then run back to the end of the line, reform and march past again. They did this as they were going to camp meals as well, picking up rations, then marching out of sight, dumping their food and repeating the same action.
