At this moment, of course, Xiao Pingguo was not idle on the city gate, but at that time, no one expected that at the critical moment of the war, the tune sung by thousands of people in the distance actually stimulated the musical talent of Xiao Da musician, so that he suddenly felt that the tune floating in the distance was very beautiful---- and slightly desolate, so he unconsciously began to follow the rhythm in his heart.

Of course, Xiao Pingguo did not forget his duty, and after a while, he beckoned to He Sizhi, who was standing behind him, and handed him the telescope in his hand, asking him to identify what that black and thick guy was.

He Sizhi held the telescope and only identified it for a moment, the assistant to the governor, who has a good understanding of the customs and customs of the indigenous tribes, told Xiao Pingguo that it was "blood wood", which is a hard mahogany about three people hugging together, this wood is very famous in the southern drop area of the mountain, counting the age of the tree, it should be at least a thousand years, the legend in the jungle tribe is that the blood wood was born on the top of the sacred mountain of Tata Mailao, and then moved to the plain below the mountain after being cut down by a tribal hero several generations ago, and it is said that whenever there will be a big war between the tribes, Once a red liquid appears, the tribe with the bloodwood will be blessed by the mountain god in battle - for example, it will be invulnerable, and even after dying in battle, it will rise to heaven and become a warrior of the mountain god, immortal.

Xiao Pingguo couldn't help sneering when he heard this, saying that Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil and is invulnerable? Then let's let these turtles see and see, is it your invulnerability or Lao Tzu's machine guns!

At this time, Wei Hong's call suddenly came out from the walkie-talkie hanging on his waist:

"Brother Xiao, you are the closest to the gathering place of the enemy brigade, do you want to shoot it? We can't just watch the enemy mobilize before the war under our noses, right? How about we fire together to interrupt the enemy's priestly activities? This might even shake the enemy's morale......"

Xiao Pingguo immediately nodded in agreement when he heard this, saying that this is a good idea, I will fight the black guy, you hit the bronze artillery team next to him, and then looked up at the sky, at this time the sun in the eastern sky was already hanging high, covering the wilderness in the distance with a piece of gold, I saw Xiao Pingguo suddenly lift the canvas covering the machine gun, skillfully open the lock, and use his arms and shoulders to stabilize the gun base, after aiming for a while, his face showed a fierce color, looking at the dancing crowd in the distance and the colorful feathers jumping happily, muttered in his mouth: Okay, labor and management are going to kill people with their own hands today......

Then, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger......

Later, there was a copy of Xiao Pingguo's adjutant in the archives of the Xin'ancheng Governor's Mansion - He Sizhi, who was specially assigned by Hou Xianglin to be his lieutenant to be the governor's follower, recorded the battle process on this day in the battle log with a goose feather ink pen, and on that day, he was asked by Xiao Pingguo to write a combat diary after the war, and said that it would be the official record of the battle.

It's just that He Sizhi's official record is very simple:

"In the morning, the governor himself led four hundred quick guns, and all the spear archers assisted them, and confronted the mountain chieftain at the south gate, first, fifteen thousand chiefs roared and gathered outside the hundred battles, gathered blood and wood and sacrificed, or looked up to the sky and sang and danced, and then lined up, and it was obvious that they wanted to strike the wooden wall with a large array of shield spears, and when the governor commanded Ruoding, the Australian fast cannon suddenly fired, and the blood spattered in all directions, and the chief hurriedly called for a strong advance, and hundreds of muskets on the wooden walls and towers fired rapidly, and a little nearer, the chiefs fell into the pit, and the barefoot or the staked of the ground stumbled, and could not help but stagger, but the enemy was still not afraid, struggling to move forward to a hundred steps away from the wooden wall, and hand @ grenade @ bullet to Yan, so far, the chiefs have not attacked half an arrow, and the loss is nearly half ......"

However, Hunter, a black teenager who followed Han Letian, wrote more specifically in his memoirs many years later, in which Hunter wrote:

"On the 15th of February, the weather was fine, and although our side was also attacked by the enemy because the enemy's main attack direction was in the southern section of the city wall, it was evident that after several rounds of high-explosive @ medicine @ bag bombardment by our mortars, the enemy, who had suffered heavy losses, quickly shifted the target of attack to the southwest corner tower farther away from the coast......

Apparently this was only a small perspective of the battle that took place that day, and in fact, the fighting that took place that morning was extremely fierce, especially near the south gate and inside and outside the wooden walls near the west bank of the Xin'an River.

Moreover, it only took one round of attacks for the attackers for the frenzied tribal warriors to break through the wooden wall of the riverside - although both sides realized that it was the weak link in the whole of Sin'an, but at that time, it only took one round of attacks to break through the wooden wall! This situation caught both the offensive and defensive sides a little off guard, which was too unexpected on both sides!

Later investigations made the defenders finally understand that the reason for the tribe warriors' frenzied attack at any cost was Xiao Pingguo's attack on Bloodwood.

Xiao Pingguo was very accurate at that time, he knew that the blood wood was definitely a kind of spiritual pillar in the hearts of the tribal warriors, Xiao Pingguo and believed that as long as the heavy hard mahogany was destroyed, the enemy's military spirit might be shaken, and the enemy might lose morale.

However, what neither Xiao Pingguo nor Wei Hong expected was that the act of attacking the blood wood not only did not hit the enemy's morale, but instead backfired and inspired tens of thousands of soldiers to attack almost frantically.

At that time, Xiao Pingguo shot a long shot, in addition to beating the indigenous warriors around the blood wood, the bullets of the twenty-millimeter machine gun undoubtedly hit the blood wood, so under the attention of tens of thousands of people, the blood wood appeared an incredible spectacle - the column of the blood wood really flowed blood!

This scene first stunned the tribal warriors, and then everyone let out a crazy cheer - you can say that it is a crazy howl, it is the howl of tens of thousands of people, at this moment, the tribal warriors believe that this is the will of the mountain god to his warriors to fight, attack the enemy in front of them, and achieve victory is the will of the gods!

This means that the warriors under the sacred tree will surely win the battle under the protection of the gods, and for every warrior, if they are fortunate enough to die for the gods in this battle, then they will go to heaven and become the messengers of the gods, and become gods.

And then all the warriors began to go crazy, because they were indoctrinated in this way since childhood, and they lived to one day fight for God and sacrifice everything they had - this holy day is today! It's right in front of you! Because they have witnessed the miracle of the bleeding of the Divine Tree!

So, when the tribal leaders brandished their shiny Dutch waist knives and pointed at the city gate tower standing in front of them, tens of thousands of tribal warriors immediately let out a deafening howl from their throats to the sky, and the strange patterns depicted on the faces of the tribal warriors were immediately smeared with a layer of gold by the morning sun. As the strange patterns and human faces painted on the bloodwood were washed more and more distorted by the gushing blood, the warriors let out a final battle cry and began to rush into the distance—the target was the South Gate Tower where Xiao Pingguo was located.
