In addition to being equipped with armor normally, the two thousand cattle infantrymen have all replaced their weapons with newly built flintlock rifles. The 35 mm caliber is thick enough. Once the lead bullet hits the target, it will bring terrible damage to the opponent that is no less than that of traditional cold weapons.

The secrets of Jeju Island and sulfur have been made public to the great master. The reason why he brought two thousand musketeers to Heiko City was, on the one hand, because of logistics supply considerations, and also showed the world his strength. The Lei Niu tribe is stronger than imagined, especially in the special period when the new king of the Niu tribe has not yet been determined. No matter who wants to do anything, he must place the Lei Niu tribe in an extremely important and cannot be ignored.

Liao Qiu rode a horse and walked with Tianhao in parallel. He was exquisite in riding skills and could maintain balance with his legs alone. Because of this, he was appointed by Tianhao as the newly built cavalry commander, who was specifically responsible for riding and shooting (musket).

"Why did the great master suddenly summon us to Heijiao City to discuss matters?" Liao Qiu thought about this question for a long time, but still couldn't help but say it.

"It should be about the grand dynasty meeting." Tianhao looked at the mountains in the distance, with a serious expression: "According to normal circumstances, the grand dynasty meeting should be held in half a month. Now I have received the convening order, and it is estimated that something happened in Heijiao City."

Liao Qiu poked him with his elbow and laughed in a low voice: "I didn't expect there are things you don't know. I always thought you knew everything and everything."

Tianhao shook his head with a wry smile. Of course he understood that Liao Qiu was referring to the intelligence department, but although Ping Jun and his men were excellent, they could not detect secrets in all corners at any time.

After thinking about it, he said seriously: "I think there may be a problem between the two princes. The throne is the biggest conflict between them, and a dispute arises."

Liao Qiu reached out and held the reins: "I know, you are standing on the side of His Highness."

Tianhao shrugged without much explanation and said, "He is a pretty good person. At least he has contacted me for the feeling that he feels good."

Liao Qiu smiled in a slight smile: "Don't hide it, I know that the second prince has taken a fancy to Tianshuang. Why? This is the reason why you support him?"

Tianhao didn't want to argue: "I said no, do you believe it?"

"Believe! Why don't you?" Liao Qiu explained this in his own way: "You are the patriarch and my immediate boss. If you don't even believe what you say, then there will be no real existence in this world."

Tianhao smiled faintly.

Suddenly, he saw a knight in a tit-robed whip at the end of the dense team in front of him, running over all the way. The man started to slow down about a hundred meters away from Tianhao, tightened the reins hard. When the horses gathered their feet and stood still, he immediately turned over and got off the horse, ran to Tianhao's car and knelt down on one knee, panting, saying, "Report... Your Highness, Heikko City... the situation is different."

Tianhao stared at the nervous-looking knight, recognized that it was the guard he appointed, frowned slightly, and asked, "Don't panic, what's going on?"

The knight adjusted his breath and continued: "The scout team ahead has arrived at Black Point City, but found that the gate of Black Point City is closed. He got news from the city guards that the martial law level has been strengthened since last night and no one is allowed to enter and exit without the permission of His Highness the Princess."

"My daughter?" Tian Hao frowned even deeper, and Niu Yanfang's arrogant and cold face subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"Have people from other tribes arrived?" He decided to put this matter aside first and turn the problem to other aspects.

"The Mad Bulls and the Buffalo Division are said to have arrived this morning. They also did not obtain permission to enter the city and are currently camping on the east side of Black Point City. The total military strength of the two tribes is about 10,000. According to your order, the whistle guard team has sent people to contact, and news will soon come."

"The Bulls and Bulls are stationed in the north of Blackhorn City, with a total force of about 10,000. Detailed information is being collected."

Regardless of the direction of the ethnic group stationing or the number of troops under the leadership of the leaders of each ethnic group is normal. Tianhao's focus is on Heijiao City.

"Why don't you open the city gate?" Liao Qiu asked in confusion, "Does the great national master have other ideas?"

Tianhao concentrates his mind and thinks quietly.

A bad premonition slowly arose in his mind, but what is specific is elusive. He recalled the meetings with the great master again and again, the other party's words and behaviors, and the modifications and changes of common ideas between them... Although time has passed for a long time, everything is vivid in my mind, as if it only happened yesterday.

"Send the order!" Suddenly, Tianhao issued an order in an extremely cold tone: "The Fifth Strike Team immediately returned to Leijiao City and mobilized 20,000 city guards to rush to Heijiao City. At the same time, the message to Panshi City is that the entire First and Second Corps gathered and must arrive at Heijiao City in the shortest time."

Liao Qiu was startled by this sudden order and asked quickly: "Why did you mobilize so many troops at once? Do you know what?"

Tianhao frowned: "I'm not sure, but all this is extremely abnormal. The princess...why isn't the person who issued martial law in Black Point City not the great master?"

After following Tianhao for a long time, Liao Qiu knew his intentions: "It's better to speed up the marching! Hurry to Heijiao City as soon as possible and see what happened."

Tianhao nodded calmly and said, "Transfer the order, run and move forward."

...

A few hours later, Tianhao met Yuan Meng and Zongyu, Lei Niu, Kuang Niu and Wild Bison, and camped on the empty wilderness outside Heijiao City.

Both of them are acquaintances, Tianhao saved himself from being polite and asked bluntly: "What's going on in the city? Why don't you open the city gate?"

Yuan Meng spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "I came the earliest and arrived yesterday afternoon. The city gate has been closed since then. I sent people to contact each other continuously, but the news I got was asking me to wait."

"This is not in accordance with the rules." Zong Yu was also confused. He took out the letter he had received before: "You see, this is not an ordinary messenger, but a convening order issued by the great national master. According to the clan rules, this means that something big happened, and all the convening people can lead troops within 10,000 yuan to the destination. There was an example when the former king was in power. Someone rebelled, but in the end it was resolved peacefully. I guess this time it was very likely that the conflict between the two princes caused the dispute, so the great national master issued a convening order to let us come as soon as possible. On the one hand, it was shocked with military strength, and on the other hand, it was held a grand court meeting in advance to select a new king."

Tianhao carefully sorted out all the information he had so far and asked: "How is the situation in the fierce bull division and the bull division?"

Yuan Meng shook his head: "I didn't have contact with them. You know, Niu Lingxiao and Zhenfeng have never been able to get along with us."

"Can't wait any longer." Tianhao said his conclusion seriously: "The situation in the city should be very serious, otherwise the Grand Master will not issue an emergency call."

Zongyu tentatively said: "Ahao, what do you mean, let's rush in?"

Tianhao nodded calmly: "Old rules, send someone to spread the word first. If the people in the city refuse, then attack."

Yuan Meng was startled: "This... this is Heijiao City, the capital of our cattle tribe!"

Tianhao was extremely calm: "It is not normal for the princess to issue orders. I guess the great master has been under house arrest. In short, we must speed up the entry into the city. If someone uses this as an excuse to hold him accountable, let him come to me."

Yuan Meng and Zongyu looked at each other, thought for a few seconds, and nodded slowly.

...

The heavy shield infantry of the Crazy Bull Division were lined up in the field, followed by the Thunder Bull Division soldiers holding flintlock rifles. The two wings were under the Bison Division. They followed the huge attacking team to form a half-moon-shaped convex defensive surface.

Time was tight and there was no time to cook. Everyone had a random meal with dry food. They had a rest. Under the orders of the officers and commanders of each team, they slowly moved towards Black Point City.

The level of ordnance manufacturing in Jeju Island is constantly improving. With the reference of drawings, Tianhao has completed the comprehensive replacement of old muskets in the past few months. The reference object is the famous "Dresse Rifle" in history, and its advancedness lies in the renewal of bullets.

The manufacturing process of waterproof oily paper is not complicated. With this material as the shell, the emergence of "shelled fixed-loading ammunition" directly skips the musket that requires mercury to fire. It combines the bottom fire, bullet holder, launching medicine and warhead into a whole, greatly optimizing the cumbersomeness of loading ammunition.

Tianhao had a pistol stuck in his waist, and a spear behind him was on his back, staring at Liao Qiu who was walking towards the city gate.

He held the shield in his left hand and the iron microphone in his right hand. He shouted without any modification at all, and he was straightforward: "Open the city gate immediately, otherwise we will attack."

No one answered on the city wall, and there was silence.

This was the first time Liao Qiu encountered this situation. Regardless of his enemies and friends, according to the rules of the northern barbarians, someone would have to agree to the call. He couldn't figure out the situation, so he continued to repeat the same words twice as Tianhao's previous instructions.

Still no one answered.

It seems that something has indeed happened in Heijiao City... Liao Qiu sighed secretly. He put down the microphone and planned to turn around and leave, and hand over the work behind to the army.

I can only attack hard.

Just as he turned around, the thick and tightly closed city gate suddenly opened a gap into it, and it was accompanied by the "squeaking" winch rotation.

They were more than a dozen strong men covered in blood, and they were all supported by the sides of the city gate. Their eyes were full of expectations and deep regret.

Liao Qiu was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Tianhao seized the opportunity and issued an order in a roar.

"Quick! Rush in!"

...

The inside of the open city gate was filled with dead people, and blood was everywhere on the ground and the walls on both sides. Judging from the clothes of the deceased, it was the two groups of people who had a conflict. Tianhao saw from his own experience that one side was the personal bodyguard belonging to the Great National Master, and the other side was the Black Kowloon City Guard.

A large number of three-tribe coalition forces quickly occupied the surrounding commanding heights, and they faced the city guards who rushed to hear the news. Liao Qiu, who was in charge of military affairs, was responsible for all this. Tian Hao strode to the wounded who opened the city gate, looked at their ragged and bloody armor, and asked in confusion: "Are you the great national masters?"

The man in the lead was stabbed on his face and bandaged it from his forehead with a bandage. The armor on his body was seriously damaged. He stood upside down with a battle axe in his hand, stared at the pattern of the ox horns on Tianhao's left arm for a long time, and finally confirmed his identity. He stood up straight with difficulty, saluted, and made a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, I am the Seventh Squadron of the National Division Guard and the Captain of the Second Team Monga."

Tian Hao suddenly felt a little relaxed. He jumped off the horse, pressed Mengga's shoulder, and asked with concern: "Where is the great master?"

This simple sentence completely destroyed the last psychological defense in Mengjia's heart. He was like a building that was crushed by the foundation, shaking and unable to maintain balance. If Tianhao had not helped him quickly, this burly man weighing more than a hundred kilograms would have fallen on the spot.

"Great Master...wow..." He burst into tears, threw away the battle axe in his hand, slammed his fist and slammed it into his chest, one after another.

The others gathered around, namely the soldiers who opened the city gate and let the coalition forces of the three tribes come over and stood with Mengga. They lowered their heads, some were crying, some were gloomy, some gritted their teeth tightly, and they said nothing.

The expression on Tianhao's face was frozen. He no longer had all the optimistic thoughts before. Looking at the guard members standing in front of him, he was stunned for a few seconds. He grabbed Mengga's collar and pulled him over. He asked fiercely in a trembling voice: "Say... the great master... what's wrong with him?"

Meng Jia's face was covered with tears. He felt deeply guilty and turned his head away, not daring to look at Tian Hao's fierce eyes, and his voice was also suppressed very low: "The great master... has passed away."

A terrible dizziness enveloped Tian Hao. He closed his eyes, but the power in his hands did not relax. He finally returned to normal in the darkness and shock. He slowly opened his eyes and felt that the whole world was filled with blood, and then turned pale, and no third color could be seen.

"When did this happen?" He spoke lightly, but he exuded a chilling murderous intent.

"Yesterday." Mengga blinked and twitched his nose, controlling his crying, adding: "Last night."

"... Let's talk more about it." Tianhao seemed to be a beast that was about to go to the edge of a rage, showing his sharp fangs: "Let me say it now, no word is allowed to be missed."

In Monga's story, Shaojie is the captain of the National Division Guard and the most critical protagonist.

Yesterday afternoon, Mengga saw the princess walking into the National Teacher's Mansion, and then Shaojie issued an order to let all the guards leave.

Faced with the doubts of Mengga and other officers, Shaojie made such an explanation——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

People, including Monga, believed and half-doubted about this order. Although they felt something was wrong, they chose to leave out due to the habit of obedience of superiors and subordinates.
