Chapter 117 Exploded!

Zhao Sihai and Zhang Jingchao were not disciples of the Songshan School, but chose to join Songshan because they admired the character and strength of Alliance Leader Zuo.

The purpose is to become famous in the martial arts world and become a big figure.

Leader Zuo has indeed achieved this in recent years. The reputation of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan is so great that which hero in the world would not tremble upon hearing about it?
However, the two of them never imagined that they would one day serve the court when they reached middle age.

The two men led the team and slowly approached the gunpowder depot in the rain. Looking at the rows of guards standing there, they knew they couldn't get in by force.

Zhang Jingchao was very good at martial arts. He climbed to the roof of the nearest courtyard and observed from above for a while before returning to the team. He said solemnly, "Brother Zhao, these rebels value gunpowder very much. I found that they also hid three cannons on the side. If we force an attack, they will ignite the cannons and both of our teams may die here."

"We really can't attack head-on. We have to think of a way." Zhao Sihai frowned slightly and thought seriously about the solution.

Just then, the two men discovered that groups of rebels were constantly rushing towards this side. After communicating with the guards for a while, they stationed on the nearby streets.

When Zhao Sihai and Zhang Jingchao saw this scene, they deduced that it would not be long before a group of rebels would come to their hiding place.

The two men quickly led the team to a farther location and looked at the dark gunpowder depot, feeling helpless.

At the same time, the north city gate became the place where the fighting was most intense. Ding Mian, Lu Bai, Fei Bin and their subordinates were fighting with all their might against the influx of rebels. Gao Kexin, Zhong Zhen and Tang Ying'e were still fighting on the top of the city.

Le Hou and Sima De led two teams and wanted to attack the rebels from the outside. It would be best if they could form an encirclement with Ding Mian and the other two so that they could wipe out the rebels.

But what Le Hou did not expect was that the rebel reinforcements came so quickly and in such large numbers. His wrong judgment directly led to him and Sima De being surrounded.

As the soldiers around them fell one by one, Le Hou and Sima De had no choice but to lean against each other's backs to reduce their exposure to attack.

Feeling his fellow apprentice's trembling body, Le Hou said apologetically: "Brother Sima, I'm sorry. It was my misjudgment this time that put you in such a crisis."

As he spoke, Le Hou used palm techniques to wield his sword and forced back the rebels around him.

"Haha. Why do you say that, Senior Brother Le?! We are brothers. Shouldn't we live and die together?"

Sima De laughed and said, "Huhu. I once heard a story from an old beggar. Although Guan Yu died, his name will be recorded in history! If we die here, it will be considered as sacrificing our lives for the country. I believe that Lord Ou and Sect Leader Zuo will let us be recorded in history!"

"Good brother!" Le Hou couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Sima De was not a master trained by the Songshan School, but he joined later.

Originally, Le Hou had some prejudice against this kind of people, but at this moment, he truly recognized Le Hou from the bottom of his heart.

"With good brothers by my side, what joy is there in life, and what fear is there in death?!"

Just when Le Hou was preparing to desperately protect Sima De, dozens of arrows were suddenly shot out from the city wall, driving back a wave of rebels who were surrounding them.

The two looked back and saw that Gao Kexin, Zhong Zhen and Tang Ying'e had already gained the upper hand on the city wall, so they had sent out a dozen archers to support them from above.

Le Hou's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly and said, "Junior Brother Sima, try harder. We will rush in and join Senior Brother Ding and the other two. Only then will we have a chance of survival!"

"Okay!" Sima De responded loudly.

Le Hou immediately rushed in, swinging his two swords like wheels and cutting a bloody path.

Seeing Ding Mian and the other two just ahead, Le Hou laughed and said, "Junior Brother Sima! Senior Brother Ding is just ahead. Junior Brother?"

Le Hou did not hear Sima De's response. His heart trembled and he looked back. He saw Sima De holding a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, standing in place and blocking the rebels.

"Junior Brother Sima!"

Le Hou was startled, and when he was about to turn around to provide support, Fei Bin pulled him over and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, what are you doing?!"

"Fourth Senior Brother, Junior Brother Sima is still there!" Le Hou shouted while waving his sword, "I'm going to save him!"

"Look carefully, Junior Brother Sima's leg is injured and he can't walk!" Fei Bin shouted with tears.

"What?" Le Hou was shocked. When he looked again, he found that a large piece of flesh had been cut off from Sima De's leg, and he didn't know how much blood had been shed.

The next moment, two spears pierced through Sima De's sword net and stabbed straight into his abdomen.

“Woo!”

Sima De suddenly swung his sword and cut off the heads of the two traitors, then roared: "Remember, I am Sima De, the Ninth Guardian of Songshan!"

"Junior Brother Sima!" Le Hou's eyes widened, blood and tears on his face gathered together, looking terrifying and ferocious. The Songshan Thirteen Guardians have been established for many years, and this is the first time someone has gone offline
Zuo Lengchan followed Ou Zanghua and lurked in a courtyard not far from the government office. He rubbed his eyes uncomfortably and subconsciously looked up towards the north gate.

At this moment, outside the gunpowder depot, Zhao Sihai had learned the art of disguise when he was traveling around the country, but after joining Songshan, he never used this skill again.

But I didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

After disguising himself as a black-faced general, he gestured to Zhang Jingchao who was not far away.

The reason why they chose this person is because his appearance shows that he is the kind of person with strong limbs but a simple mind. There are too many such people in the world, and the two of them can tell which one they are talking about.

After receiving the confirmation, Zhang Jingchao decisively rushed into the street where the black-faced general was. After a round of fighting, he pretended to be defeated and turned around to run away, not forgetting to throw out a few sarcastic remarks:

"You ballless charcoal-faced bastard over there, if you have the guts, come out and fight me!"

When the black-faced general heard this, he chased after him with a group of men, holding a long sword in hand: "You bastard, don't run if you have the guts! Who the hell are you?!"

Zhao Sihai waited for a while, and when he was sure that he had gone far away, he came out from the other side, holding a torch and cursing: "That filthy bastard, he only knows how to show off his eloquence, but he ran quite fast!"

While cursing, he walked to the door of the gunpowder magazine and shouted, "Is there any food? I'm hungry after running all over the place!"

"General Niu, this is a gunpowder depot. Where's the food? You have to go to the granary." The rebel guard smiled, obviously very familiar with this ruffian.

"There's no food, so why are you guarding this bird place? We might as well burn it all down with fire." Zhao Sihai said pretending to be angry.

The rebel guard pointed inside and said, "General Niu, don't say that. We can't burn here. If we encounter a little flame, we will all be doomed!"

"So powerful?" Zhao Sihai widened his eyes and estimated the distance from the door to the inside of the yard. It was about ten feet.

"So awesome!" The rebel guard gave a thumbs up.

"Oh" Zhao Sihai nodded, and suddenly threw the torch in his hand in as if it were a spear.

With the help of internal strength, the torch was as fast as lightning and directly pierced through one of the large cages woven with bamboo.

Because only the big cage had the word "explosion" pasted on it.

The rebel guard was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Sihai running away seven or eight feet in shock.

"I do it"

"boom!"

There was a loud bang on the ground, and the shock wave spread out in all directions. Zhao Sihai was directly knocked unconscious by the shock wave.

Then, a huge fireball rose into the sky, illuminating half of the city.

Ou Zanghua and Zuo Lengchan looked towards the gunpowder depot with mixed expressions.

Inside the government office, Luo Guangquan heard the noise. He looked up suddenly and had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, military advisor Chen Fu walked in quickly and said solemnly, "Chief, a group of soldiers sneaked in during the rainy night and are wreaking havoc in the city. They are probably planning to open the north gate."

After hearing this, Luo Guangquan suddenly looked at Chen Fu and asked, "Why didn't I receive the message?!"

Chen Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "The leader didn't know? No wonder he didn't take any action. I thought the leader had other plans. So, there must be a group of soldiers lurking outside us and killed the brothers who reported the news!"

"Then why do you know?"

"Because I was just observing from the observation platform and found that the fire at the north gate was more chaotic than usual, so I made this guess."

Luo Guangquan felt relieved only after hearing this.

He thought for a while and said decisively: "Send a team of troops to the north gate. Never let the soldiers open the city gate, otherwise the imperial army will enter the city, and you and I will have no choice but to return to Hualin."

Chen Fu nodded, then moved closer and whispered, "That's true, but we must also be prepared for the second case. If the imperial army enters the city, the leader must not fight to the death! As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this is the truth."

"Don't worry, Military Advisor. I know what to do."
