Why was it a mistake for General Cornwallis to move his troops to Yorktown?

Yorktown was located on a peninsula, so Cornwallis’s troops had limited ways to escape by land. French ships blocked the Chesapeake Bay, while American and French forces surrounded the town on land. This made it difficult for Cornwallis to receive supplies or retreat, which is why moving his troops there was a mistake.
