(Today is New Year’s Eve. Eat, drink and have fun. Don’t think about anything and enjoy the New Year.)
The facts were as expected. When the cult bandits under the city gave the warning, more than 80 cult bandits at the top of the city immediately became vigilant. The Qing Cult protector on the opposite side also immediately realized that something was wrong. He pointed at Ma Bin and others and shouted loudly: "You guys
Who is he? Stop, stop, don't come over."
Ma Bin didn't care about him. Not only did he not stop, but he quickened his pace and began to trot with more than 20 people, rushing towards the entrance of the city tower.
"Stop, if you don't stop you'll be rude." The protector shouted loudly.
"Fire the arrow!" Ma Bin shouted.
Whoosh whoosh! The repeating crossbows in the hands of the soldiers began to fire. A large number of crossbow arrows were fired at the crowd in front. Suddenly the crowd in front fell on their backs and screamed. A dozen people were the first to bear the brunt and were shot and fell by the crossbow arrows. The protector had been alert for a long time.
While shouting, he retreated back under the pillars of the tower and hid behind the pillars to avoid several killing arrows. He shouted loudly.
"They are enemies, shoot arrows, shoot arrows. Stop them and kill them."
Buzzing, a dozen arrows shot over sporadically, grazing everyone's heads and flying over. The arrows were crooked and had no power or aim. This cannot be blamed on the bandits in the city tower. In order to defend the wall of the West City, the Holy Duke sent all the arrows
All the bows and arrows were transferred to the west city wall, leaving only a dozen tattered bows and arrows. Some bows and arrows were infested by insects and could not be pulled too hard. Some had no arrow strings at all and had to be temporarily replaced with fine twine. Originally
It was just a show, who knew it would actually be used. Therefore, the arrows shot were crooked, and two of them even flew in circles in the air. Even if these arrows were shot at a person, I am afraid they would not be able to damage the inner clothing.
Armored Guardsmen soldiers.
On the other hand, although there were only twenty repeating crossbows of the Forbidden Army, they fired in succession like a hundred people firing in volley. The arrows were as fast as a rainstorm, hitting the pillars of the tower and the side walls with a clanging sound. The arrows hit the unequipped people.
Basically, it penetrates directly through the bandit's body.
The distance of more than twenty steps was very short. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty people rushed to the entrance of the corridor of the tower. In a short period of time, the crossbows had killed and injured more than thirty people. The dense crossbow arrows forced the opponent to retreat into the corridor.
Within the entrance.
"Stop them. They are few and we are many. Kill them. The Holy Duke will be seriously injured." The guardian of the city shouted loudly.
Seven or eight religious bandits armed with spears rushed to the entrance of the corridor, and seven or eight spears were stabbed at the entrance of the corridor. They huddled in the baffles on both sides, but the spears could reach the entrance, hoping to block it.
The other party rushed in. But how could they stop Ma Bin and the others? Ma Bin roared and rolled in with his long knife. After cutting off several gun heads, he slashed at people with his long knife, killing two people in a row.
People. The religious bandits at the door shouted and hid behind. The soldiers from behind swarmed in. Each of them had a sharp long sword and started fighting with the religious bandits in the narrow corridors and rooms of the tower.
At this moment, the effect of selecting elite manpower was fully reflected. Although there are still more than fifty religious bandits, more than twice as many as our own. However, Ma Bin, who is armed to the teeth and has extraordinary skills, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army under his command are
They were unable to withstand the attack. Everyone slashed at them all the way, leaving bodies one after another. Finally, more than thirty religious bandits and the Green Cult protector were forced into a tall room in the middle of the tower.
The room was extraordinarily spacious, because there was a huge wooden turbine shaft in the middle. A large circle of thick ropes was wrapped around a huge windlass, leading to the outside of the city through two holes diagonally downwards. Ma Bin naturally knew that this was
What, this thing is the crankshaft that controls the three to four feet long and two to three feet wide suspension bridge outside the city. The suspension bridge is too heavy and must be pulled up and lowered by such a device. Even with such a crankshaft
, it also requires dozens of people to push the shafts on both sides at the same time to lift it up. Controlling this suspension bridge means controlling most of the city gate. Without the suspension bridge as a passage, it is impossible to cross the several-foot-wide moat and reach the city gate.
"Put down your weapons and spare your life. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death." Ma Bin shouted sternly.
"Hey, don't even think about it. If you want to seize the city gate, don't even think about it." The protector gasped and sneered. Suddenly he shouted loudly: "Cut the rope and put down the dragon-breaking tree."
Hearing this, several cult bandits swooped towards the side of the crankshaft, swung their knives and slashed at a position of the crankshaft. In just a few strokes, the thick rope was cut off. A huge disc underneath the crankshaft quickly
Turning around, the thick broken end of the rope was swung wildly around with strong winds. One of the bandits was unable to dodge and was hit by the rope. He was suddenly swung against the wall like a rag doll and like a lump of cow dung.
Usually it's stuck on top and the blood is sprinkled all over the wall.
Ma Bin was still a little confused at first, but he soon understood. In ordinary cities, the suspension bridge shaft structure is simple, just a roulette connected to the rope to winch the suspension bridge down. But in cities like Jingcheng, Yingtianfu, Jiangningfu, and Hangzhoufu
In such a large city, the gate suspension bridge device is by no means as simple as in a small city, and often has two crankshafts.
The so-called broken dragon wood is an emergency facility reserved when building a suspension bridge device. Cut the rope of the winch below, and a huge log weighing a thousand kilograms will fall into the reserved slot below. Once the slot is blocked
If it is stuck, not only the city gate axis will be locked, but also the suspension bridge's axis will be completely stuck. No matter how you twist the upper shaft, you will not be able to pull the rope to raise the suspension bridge. To put it bluntly, this broken dragon wood
The purpose is to keep the entire city gate suspension bridge in a locked state. Unless it is destroyed by violent means, there is nothing that can be done.
Once the Broken Dragon Wood falls, although it is not impossible to do anything, it will cost a lot of money. Since the traces have been discovered by the bandits, there is not much time to spend on these things. Therefore, this
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Ma Bin shouted loudly, and jumped up to the top of the huge wheel axle. Under his feet, the constantly rotating ropes made a whining sound and whipped the surrounding air under the pull of gravity. If he were not careful, he would be
His tendons were broken and fractured from the beating. But when he saw Ma Bin exerting force on his feet, he jumped over and landed directly on the other side of the group of bandits. The bandits were in a hurry and used their weapons to kill and chop at random. How could Ma Bin allow them to hit him?
The swords flashed and jingled loudly, blocking several weapons. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the clothes on the chest of a bandit.
"Leave it to me." Ma Bin cursed and threw the bandit with all his strength. The bandit danced with his hands and feet in the air, screamed, and was thrown onto the reel. His body fell from the space in the center of the reel.
Fall down.
"Ah!" The fallen cult bandit let out a shrill scream, followed by a rattling sound, and blood and flesh seeped out from under the shaft, and was whipped into pieces of flesh and blood all over the sky by the rotating and sweeping rope.
Everyone was stunned. Everyone knew that below was the rotating wooden gear of the machine shaft that was pulled by the gravity of the broken dragon wood after the rope was loosened. After the person fell in, he must have been crushed alive by the wooden gear rotating in opposite directions.
The bones were minced and the meat was minced.
The speed of the rotating thick rope, which had been dyed red, seemed to slow down slightly, which was exactly what Ma Bin wanted. With a cry, another instructor flew into the air, and Ma Bin grabbed him like a shooting master.
It was thrown into the big hole in the middle of the reel. Puff! The weird sound sounded again, and another stream of flesh and blood seeped out from under the reel. Another bandit was crushed between the two sets of wooden teeth. The rotation of the rope
The head slowed down a bit.
Ma Bin stood up and rushed towards the bandit protector who was huddled behind the wooden pillar. The protector had already understood Ma Bin's thoughts, and when he saw Ma Bin rushing towards him, he turned and ran away. But unfortunately, the range he could run was limited. One side
He was an enemy, with a whip-like rotating rope in the middle. He could only run towards the corner. Ma Bin caught up with him in two steps and reached out to grab his back. The protector roared and slashed at him with a knife.
The knife was swung out, and he blocked the scimitar with a clang. His left fingers had already grabbed the protector's robe, and with a strong tug, the bandit protector was dragged back half a step, and he screamed in panic.
Ma Bin raised his right hand again, pinched his armpit, and shouted: "Get up."
The protector's huge body lifted off the ground and was lifted above his head by Ma Bin.
"Fuck you." Ma Bin threw the person towards the hole in the middle of the scroll. The body of the protector fell on the scroll with a clang, and half of his body fell into the hole, but he held on to the edge of the scroll desperately.
Don't let go.
"Damn you, you are really stubborn." Ma Bin dodged the sweep of the rope and jumped onto the axis. He swung out his long knife and cut off his hands and wrists. Amidst the screams, the huge body of the protector fell into the hole.
In the middle, a shrill scream rang out, and a stream of blood spurted out like a fountain, covering Ma Bin's head and face, staining his whole body red.
"Crack, click, click." The whole winch shaft trembled and made a sound. The guardian was tall and had strong bones. He fell into the wooden teeth and was shattered in half. But in the end, the wooden gears did not rotate anymore, but were crushed.
His body was firmly stuck. The Broken Dragon Wood bounced underneath, causing the wooden gears to make a clicking sound as they clicked together with great effort. With only two feet left, the Broken Dragon Wood was about to fall into the slot.
Fortunately, the protector's bones were hard enough and acted as a perfect obstacle to prevent the Broken Dragon Wood from falling.
The remaining twenty or so cult bandits looked at Ma Bin standing on the roulette wheel in horror. The man was covered in blood and stood on a high place with a ferocious look, like a yaksha seeking his life.
"Abandon your weapons and surrender immediately." Then the soldiers rushed up and shouted loudly.
All the cult bandits dropped their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands. At this moment, they had no intention of resisting at all. They didn't know the current affairs at this time, and they were afraid that they would all be thrown into the meat grinder and crushed alive.
.
"Li Zheng, you lead ten brothers to guard the top of the city. I will lead the rest down to meet Sun Dayong. Let these grandsons work as coolies to raise the suspension bridge. Then you just have to guard the city tower." Ma Bin jumped off the scroll and shouted continuously.
commanded.
All the Forbidden Army soldiers had already expressed their admiration for Ma Bin. They had some feelings of contempt and neglect towards Ma Bin before, but now they all dissipated and they all agreed in unison.
Ma Bin rushed out of the city tower with ten brothers, but he heard that fighting was already starting in the square below. Sun Dayong had already led his people to the square and started fighting with the patrolling bandits who were warning. Ma Bin led his people and rushed down, and the three
Five divided by two, this group of bandits died in a short while and fled, scattering in a flurry.
