Can't go on like this Chen Fu knew very well that once the water in the city was exhausted, there would be no need for the two rebels Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo to attack the city.
The desperate and crazy soldiers would probably kill each other.
In order to avoid this situation from happening, Chen Fu must make a decision before the situation develops out of control, so that the soldiers can see hope.
After thinking about it, Chen Fu still felt that it would be better to launch a night attack.
The armies of Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing were surrounded but not attacked, and were relatively scattered.
They could gain a local advantage by launching a night attack.
And this is simply impossible to achieve during the day.
Once Chen Fu ordered his men to open the city gate, the rebels led by Er Liu would swarm in and attack the city gate with all their might.
Night attacks also have the advantage of creating panic in the enemy to the greatest extent.
Soldiers live in military camps for a long time, without women to relieve their loneliness, and they are under great pressure.
If there is any trouble, this pressure may gather and explode.
Even an iron-blooded army like the Qi Jiajun strictly prohibits soldiers from moving around at night, just to prevent the occurrence of camp roars.
As for the troops under Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, they were just a bunch of rabble.
If a riot really breaks out, it could all collapse overnight.
What Chen Fu had to do was to fan the flames, attack the camp at night, and try his best to overwhelm the two thieves' camp with his own troops.
Chen Fu is the commander-in-chief of Xiaoguo Camp and the highest-ranking general in Jining Prefecture City.
The whole battalion of soldiers and the whole city's people were in a life-and-death situation, so he naturally had to make decisive decisions and show a ruthless force.
Now that the night attack has been decided, all that's left is to formulate a specific plan.
Through observations at the top of the city in the past few days, Chen Fu discovered that the camp of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo outside the east gate was the farthest away from the city wall.
So he decided to attack from the east gate.
After sunset, he mobilized his main force to the east gate, Suihua Gate, and left the city only at ten minutes after midnight.
Wang Fugui once suggested to him that five hundred men should be left to defend the city, but Chen Fu refused without hesitation.
This night attack was really out of necessity.
For the soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp, this was the only chance.
If they win, they can reverse the situation and even defeat the two Liu rebels.
If defeated, it would be impossible to defend Jining Prefecture with just a few hundred soldiers left in the city.
It would only postpone the day when the city was broken by a few days.
Now that Jining Prefecture is surrounded by people, it is impossible to send a messenger to deliver a letter asking for help.
Therefore, the only solution for now is to fight to the death with the two Liu rebels.
In this battle, either you die or I die.
The Xiaoguo Battalion is not a cavalry battalion, but an infantry battalion.
There was a problem: Chen Fu could not launch the attack as quickly as possible.
If there are hundreds of cavalry, they only need to rush through the camp for a few rounds and burn all the tents with torches to cause a commotion and cause the enemy to collapse without a fight.
But if it is infantry, it will be much more difficult to achieve this effect.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of speed.
The cavalry can rush into the enemy camp at lightning speed and complete the task of burning the camp with lightning speed.
After doing this, the enemy soldiers may not react yet.
Because the infantry advances slowly, the enemy soldiers may have already reacted when they rushed to the camp and burned accounts.
If half of the soldiers in the enemy camp can dress up and line up to fight after the sentry blows the horn, the Xiaoguo camp's numerical advantage will no longer exist, and the night attack will fail.
But Chen Fu has no time to think about this now.
He could only give it a try.
There is still a glimmer of hope for a night attack outside the city, but if you are trapped in the city, you are waiting for death.
Every soldier in the Xiaoguo camp was assigned a torch, and they were told to throw the torch into the camp tent when charging into the formation.
Don't be too war-loving, but set as many tents on fire as possible.
Chen Fu made this decision out of frustration.

After all, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's combined troops numbered 40,000 to 50,000.
The two thousand men from Xiaoguo camp alone could not make any big waves.
You must take advantage of the darkness to burn as many camps as possible to create panic in order to achieve better results.
The soldiers in Xiaoguo Camp are all new recruits who have just been trained for no more than two months.
Although they have mastered the most basic moves and formations, their cooperation with each other is still very unfamiliar, and there is no tacit understanding at all.
This was also a major reason why Chen Fu chose to attack at night.
Night can hide this flaw very well.
Wang Fugui naturally had no objection to Chen Fu's plan.
However, he suggested that the position of the gunman should be moved forward and placed behind the pikemen.
In this way, once the rebels of the Erliu tribe react and rush out of the tent, the fire gunners can line up on top to suppress the rebels with firepower.
This is important.
You know, it is difficult for the soldiers to spread out in the camp and they are often huddled together.
This is what the gunman wants to see most.
Because a casual shot with your eyes closed can kill someone.
The high-quality fireguns are what distinguishes the Shence Army from other armies of the Ming Dynasty.
If this advantage is not taken advantage of, it will really be a shame for the Firearms Department's manufacturing and supply regardless of the cost.
As for the pikemen, they are of course the main force in the battle.
One stab of the spear can kill a person, which is very efficient.
The sword and shield bearers were placed at the back of the last hall to provide reinforcements to fill holes at any time.
After making a general plan, the next step is to see the actual combat.
Any emergency situation may occur during a night attack.
Anyway, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"call"
Sun Youde took out the thing and pumped it into the corner of the tent, feeling refreshed all over his body.
This bubble of urine is really suffocating people to death.
After a while, even the bubble of urine will explode.
After draining the water, Sun Youde was about to tie his trouser pockets when he felt a sharp pain in his vest, and his whole body fell down like a noodle.
He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Followed by a group of soldiers holding torches rushed over.
Some of them were holding spears, some were holding firecrackers, and some were holding single swords in their hands, but without exception, they all held a torch in their other hand.
From a distance, this group of soldiers looked like a fire dragon, rushing in through this small gap.
These soldiers had obviously received unified orders before, and they threw their torches towards the camp.
The tents were set ablaze one after another, and the fire became more and more intense.
For a moment, the dark night illuminated by the fire seemed like day.
Such a big movement naturally woke up many sleeping soldiers of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo.
They rushed out of the tent in panic, and some even had their buttocks bare and didn't even have time to put on their pants.
"An enemy attack is an enemy attack."
As soon as a shouting rebel soldier began to greet him, a spear pierced his chest.
Blood spurted out from his wounds, splashing out a handful of blood mist.
Wang Fugui kicked him hard, pulled out his spear neatly, stood up and stabbed another rebel soldier
