“So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.”
So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands. — The timing at 'the beginning of the middle watch' indicates a coordinated midnight attack. The action 'blew the trumpets and smashed the jars' produces a sudden cacophony of sound and light.
