Chapter 128 Night raid on the enemy camp for the moon
This can't continue like this!
Chen Fu knew very well that once the water in the city was exhausted, Liu Zeqing would not be needed. Liu Liangzuo and two traitors attacked the city. The soldiers who were in despair and crazy might be killed by themselves.
In order to avoid this situation, Chen Fu must make a decision before the situation develops to the point where it is 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.
Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's army surrounded but did not attack, and were divided into relatively scattered ways. They could gain local advantages when launching night attacks. This was simply impossible to achieve during the day.
Once Chen Fu ordered people to open the city gate, the rebels led by Er Liu would flock to attack the city gate desperately.
There is another benefit of night attacks - it can create enemy panic to the greatest extent.
The soldiers lived in the military camp for a long time, and there was no woman to relieve loneliness. The pressure was very high. When there was a turmoil, this pressure might gather and explode.
Even the iron-blooded army like the Qi family army strictly prohibits soldiers from walking at night to prevent the whistle.
As for Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's army, they were just a group of mobs. If there was a riot, it would be possible that all of them would collapse overnight.
What Chen Fu had to do was to fan the flames, raid the camps at night, and rely on the two thieves' own army to destroy their camps as much as possible.
Chen Fu is the chief of the Xiaoguo Camp and the highest-level military general in Jiningzhou City. All the soldiers of the camp and the people in the city are in the life and death, so he naturally has to make decisive decisions and show a sense of ruthlessness.
Since we have decided to attack at night, the rest is to make specific plans.
Through his observations at the city walls over the past few days, Chen Fu found that the camp outside the east gate of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's troops were the farthest from the city wall.
Therefore, he decided to attack from the east gate.
After sunset, he dispatched his main force to Suihua Gate in the East Gate, and only waited for midnight before he broke out of the city.
Wang Fugui once suggested to him that he would leave five hundred people to defend the city, but Chen Fu refused without hesitation.
This night attack was a last resort, and for the soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp, there was only one chance.
If you win, you can reverse the decline and even defeat the two Liu rebels.
If it is defeated, it is impossible to defend Jining Prefecture by relying solely on the hundreds of soldiers left in the city. It is just a few days to push the day of the city to break down.
Now that Jiningzhou is surrounded, it is impossible to send messengers to send messages and ask for help.
Therefore, the only way to do this is to burn your boat and fight to the death with the two Lius.
In this battle, either you die or I die.
Xiaoguo Camp is not a cavalry camp, but an infantry camp.
This has a problem, Chen Fu cannot launch an attack as fast as possible.
If there are hundreds of cavalrymen here, you only need to rush into the camp for a few rounds, throw away the torches and burn the tent all at once, which can cause riots and cause the enemy to collapse without fighting.
But if it is an infantryman, it will be much more difficult to achieve this effect.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of speed.
Cavalry can enter the enemy camp at lightning speed and complete the task of burning the camp tent with lightning speed.
After doing this, the enemy soldiers may not have reacted.
Because the infantry advances slowly, the enemy soldiers may have reacted during the process of rushing to camp and burning tents.
If half of the soldiers in the enemy camp can dress neatly after the sentry blows the horn and line up to fight, the number of people in the Xiaoguo camp will no longer exist, and the night attack will be declared failure.
However, Chen Fu has no time to think about these things now. He can only give it a try.
There is still a glimmer of hope for a night attack when leaving the city. 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 it onto the camp tent when they rushed forward. Don’t be too fond of fighting, but ignite as many camp tents as possible.
Chen Fu was helpless to make this decision. No matter what, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing had 40,000 to 50,000 people together. Just relying on these two thousand people in Xiaoguo Camp, you can't make any big waves.
We must use the night to burn as many camp tents as possible to create panic in order to achieve better results.
The soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp were all recruits who had just been trained for less than two months. Although they had mastered the most basic moves and formation changes, their cooperation seemed unfamiliar and had no tacit understanding at all.
This is also a major reason why Chen Fu chose to attack at night. Night can cover up this defect well.
Wang Fugui naturally had no objection to Chen Fu's plan. However, he suggested that the position of the musketeer was in advance and placed behind the spearman.
In this way, once the rebels of the two Liu troops reacted and rushed out of the tent, the musketeers could line up on the top of the array and give the rebels firepower to suppress them.
This is very important. You should know that it is difficult for soldiers in the camp to unfold, and they often squeeze into groups. This is exactly what musketeers are most willing to see.
Because you can kill a person with just a single shot with your eyes closed.
The high-quality muskets are the reason why the Shence Army is different from other armies of the Ming Dynasty. If this advantage is not given, I would be sorry that the firearms department will manufacture and supply at all costs.
As for the spearmen, of course, they are the main force in the rushing formation.
A spear can kill a person's life, which is very efficient.
The sword and shield hand is placed behind the last hall, and the holes are filled at any time.
Make a general plan, and it depends on the actual situation.
Any emergencies may occur in a night attack. Anyway, soldiers come to block the water and soil, so there is nothing scary!
......
......
"call!"
Sun Youde took out the thing and burst into the corner of the tent, and felt very happy all over his body.
This urination really makes people suffocate to death. After a moment, even the urination can be suffocated!
After the water was cleaned, Sun Youde felt a sharp pain in his vest as soon as he was about to tie it up, and his whole body fell down like noodles.
He twitched a few times and then there was no movement.
Immediately afterwards a team of soldiers holding torches rushed over.
Some of them were holding spears, some held muskets, and some were in their hands, but without exception, they all held a torch in their other hand.
From a distance, the soldiers looked like a fire dragon, winding through this tiny gap.
These soldiers had obviously received unified orders before and threw the torches in their hands into the camp.
One tent was ignited one after another, and the fire became bigger and bigger. The black night reflected by the flames was like daylight.
Such a big noise naturally woke up many sleeping soldiers of Liu Zeqing and Liu Liang's army.
They rushed out of the camp in panic, some even bare butts and didn't even have time to wear their pants.
"The enemy attack is an enemy attack!"
A chanting rebel soldier was about to start greeting and was pierced through his chest by a spear.
Blood gushed out from his wound, splashing out a handful of blood mist.
Wang Fugui kicked him hard, pulled out his spear cleanly, stepped forward and stabbed him at a rebel soldier.
