(Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone eat, drink and have fun, don't think about anything, enjoy the New Year.) ）

As expected, when the bandits in the city gave a warning, the more than 80 bandits in the city immediately became vigilant. The Qingjiao Dharma Protector on the other side also immediately realized that something was wrong, and he pointed at Ma Bin and the others and shouted, "Who are you? Stop, stop, don't come. ”

Where did Ma Bin care about him, not only did he not stop, but his pace accelerated, and he began to trot up with more than 20 people, rushing to the entrance of the city tower.

"Stop, you're welcome if you don't stop." The Dharma Protector shouted.

"Shoot the arrows!" Ma Bin roared.

Whoosh! The repeater crossbows in the hands of the soldiers began to fire. A large number of crossbow arrows were fired towards the crowd in front of them. Suddenly, the crowd in front of them turned on their backs, screaming again and again. More than a dozen people bore the brunt of the attack and were killed by crossbow arrows. The Dharma protector was already alert, and at the same time as he shouted, his body had already retreated under the pillars of the tower, hiding behind the pillars to avoid a few arrows that would kill him. Loud shouting in the mouth.

"They are enemies, let go of arrows, let go of arrows. Stop them and kill them. ”

Buzzing, a dozen arrows shot sporadically, grazing the heads of the crowd and flying past. The arrow was crooked, without power or crosshairs. This can't be blamed on the bandits in the city tower, in order to guard the city wall of the west city, the holy prince transferred all the bows and arrows to the west city wall, leaving only a dozen tattered bows and arrows here. Some bows and arrows have been moth-eaten and cannot be pulled too hard. Some don't have arrow strings at all, and they are temporarily replaced with fine twine. Originally, it was just for a look, but who knew it would really be used. So the arrows shot were crooked, and two of the arrows even flew in circles in the air. Even if this arrow is shot at a person, it will not be able to hurt the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who are wearing armor inside.

On the other hand, although there were only twenty of the forbidden army's crossbows, they shot like a salvo of a hundred people. The arrows rained down on the pillars and side walls of the tower. Shooting at an unequipped bandit is basically going straight through.

The distance of more than 20 steps was very short, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 people rushed to the entrance of the cloister of the city tower. In a short period of time, the crossbow has killed and wounded more than 30 people. The dense barrage of crossbow arrows forced the opponent to retreat into the entrance of the cloister.

"Stop them. They were few, but we were many, and slaughtered them. The Holy Father will be seriously wounded. The city protector shouted loudly.

Seven or eight bandits armed with spears rushed to the entrance of the cloister, and seven or eight spears stabbed indiscriminately at the entrance of the cloister. They were huddled in the flaps on either side, but their spears were able to reach the entrance, hoping to keep them from rushing in. But how can this stop Ma Bin and others. Ma Bin roared a tiger, and even a person rolled in with a long knife, and after cutting off several spear heads, the long knife cut when he saw someone, killing two people in a row. The bandits at the gate shouted and hid back, and the soldiers in the rear swarmed in, each with a long knife, and began to fight with the bandits in the narrow corridor and the room of the city tower.

At this moment, the role of selecting elite personnel before is fully reflected. Although there are still more than 50 bandits, it is more than twice as many as their own. But Ma Bin, who was armed to the teeth and had extraordinary skills, and his forbidden soldiers were powerless to resist the attack. Everyone slashed and slaughtered all the way, leaving corpses behind them, and finally forced more than thirty sect bandits and the Qingjiao protector into a tall room in the middle of the city tower.

The room was extraordinarily spacious, because in the middle was a huge wooden shaft. A large loop of thick rope was wrapped around a large reel, leading out of the city through two holes diagonally downward. Ma Bin naturally knew what this thing was, and this thing was the shaft that controlled the suspension bridge outside the city that was three or four zhang long and two or three zhang wide. The drawbridge was too heavy and had to be pulled up and lowered by such a device. Even with such an axle, it would take dozens of people to push the axle on both sides at the same time to lift. To control this drawbridge is to control most of the city gates. Without a drawbridge as a passage, it was impossible to cross a moat several feet wide to reach the city gate.

"Lay down your weapons and spare you from dying. Whoever dares to resist will be killed. Ma Bin shouted.

"Hehe, don't think about it. If you want to take the gates, don't even think about it. The Dharma Protector gasped and sneered. Suddenly shouted loudly: "Cut the rope and put down the broken dragon wood." ”

Hearing this, several bandits pounced on the side of the shaft and swung their knives at the position of one of the shafts. After just a few strokes, the thick rope was cut off. A huge disc shaft under the shaft rotated rapidly, and the thick rope severed end swung wildly towards the surroundings with a strong wind. One of the bandits couldn't dodge, was struck by a rope, and was immediately swung against the wall like a rag doll, and stuck to it like a lump of cow, spilling the blood of a wall.

Ma Bin was still a little puzzled at first, but soon he understood. In the general city, the shaft structure of the suspension bridge machine is simple, just a wheel disc connecting the rope to twist the suspension bridge and put it down. However, in large cities such as Beijing, Yingtianfu, Jiangningfu, and Hangzhou, the city gate suspension bridge device is by no means as simple as a small city, and there are often two machine shafts.

The so-called broken dragon wood is an emergency facility reserved for the construction of the suspension bridge installation. Cut the rope of the winch below, and a huge log weighing 1,000 pounds will fall into the reserved card slot below. Once the card slot is stuck, not only will the gate axle be locked, but also the axle of the suspension bridge will be completely stuck. No matter how much you twist the reel above, you can't pull the rope to lift the drawbridge. To put it bluntly, the purpose of this broken dragon wood is to keep the entire city gate drawbridge in a locked state, and there is no way unless it is destroyed by violent means.

Once the Broken Dragon Wood falls, although it is not impossible, it will take a lot of effort in that case. Having already been discovered by the bandits, there is not much time to spend on these things. So, this is categorically impermissible.

Ma Bin let out a loud shout, and his body jumped up and jumped on top of the huge axle. Under his feet, the constantly rotating ropes whined at the air around him with the sound of whining wind, and if he was not careful, he would be broken by the whipped tendons. But seeing Ma Bin's feet, he jumped over, and his body fell directly into the group of bandits on the other side. The bandits used their blades to kill and slash in a hurry, and Ma Bin didn't allow them to be hit, the knife flashed, and the clanging sound was loud, blocking several blades. At the same time, he reached out with his left hand and grabbed the clothes on the chest of one of the bandits.

"Give it to Lao Tzu." Ma Bin scolded loudly, and threw the bandit out with his hand, and the bandit danced in the air, wah, wah, wah, screaming, and was thrown onto the scroll, and his body fell from the empty space in the middle of the scroll.

"Ahh The fallen bandit let out a terrible scream, followed by the sound of Karakala, and the flesh seeped out from under the scroll, whipped into a sky of flesh and flesh by the swirling and sweeping ropes.

Everyone was stunned, everyone knew that below was the rotating shaft wooden teeth that were pulled by the gravity of the broken dragon wood after the rope was loosened, and this person must have been crushed alive by the wooden gears that rotated in the opposite direction.

The speed of the thick rope, which had been dyed red, seemed to slow down slightly, which was exactly what Ma Bin was aiming for. With a snort, another bandit flew in the air, and Ma Bin grabbed him like a shooting master and threw him into the big hole in the middle of the shaft. Poof, Kerra! The strange sound sounded again, and another stream of flesh oozed from under the scroll, and another bandit was crushed between the two wooden teeth. The rope turned a little slower.

Ma Bin straightened up and rushed towards the bandit protector who was cowering behind the wooden pillar. The Dharma protector had already understood Ma Bin's thoughts, and when he saw Ma Bin rushing towards him, he turned around and ran. But unfortunately he has a limited range of runs. With the enemy on one side and the whip-like rope in the middle, he could only run into the corner. Ma Bin caught up in two steps and reached out to grab him by the heart. The Dharma Protector roared and slashed at him. Ma Bin swung out his long knife, and when he blocked the scimitar with a loud sound, he had already grabbed the Dharma Protector's robe between his left fingers, and pulled it hard, and the bandit Dharma Protector was dragged back half a step, and screamed in panic.

Ma Bin went up with his right hand again, grabbed his armpit, and yelled: "Get up." ”

The huge body of the Dharma Protector 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 shaft, and the body of the protector fell on the shaft with a clatter, and half of his body fell into the hole, but he desperately grabbed the edge of the shaft and did not let go.

"You're fucking stubborn." Ma Bin dodged the sweep of the rope and jumped onto the scroll, swinging his long knife, cutting off his hands and wrists, and in the scream, the huge body of the Dharma protector fell into the hole. A terrible scream sounded, and a stream of blood splattered out like a fountain, spraying Ma Bin's head and face, staining his whole body with blood red.

"Click". The entire shaft of the winch shuddered and made a sound. The protector's body was tall and his bones were strong, and he fell between the wooden teeth and was half shattered, but in the end, the wooden gear did not turn again, but was firmly stuck in his corpse. The Broken Dragon Wood bounced underneath, causing the wooden gears to snap together with a strained snap. There were only two feet left, and the broken dragon wood was about to fall into the card slot. Thankfully, the protector's bones were hard enough to be the perfect obstacle to prevent the Broken Dragon Wood from falling.

The remaining twenty or so bandits looked at Ma Bin standing on the roulette wheel in horror, and the man was covered in blood and stood on a high place like a vicious god, like a yaksha asking for his life.

"Abandon the blade and surrender at once." Only then did the soldiers rush forward and shout and curse.

All the bandits threw down their swords and crouched down with their heads in their hands. At this moment, where do they still have the slightest heart to resist. At this time, I don't know the current affairs, and I'm afraid that I will be thrown into that meat grinder and crushed alive.

"Li Zheng, you take ten brothers to guard the city, and I will take the rest down to meet Sun Dayong. Let these grandsons work as coolies and lift the suspension bridge. Then you just have to guard the tower. Ma Bin jumped off the reel and commanded continuously.

The soldiers of the forbidden army had already thrown themselves to the ground for the five bodies that Ma Bin admired, and they still had some contempt and neglect for Ma Bin before, but now they all dissipated and agreed in unison.

Ma Bin rushed out of the city tower with ten brothers, but heard that there was already a fight in the square below. Sun Dayong had already led people to rush to the square and fight with the patrol bandits who were warning them. Ma Bin led people to rush down, three strikes and five divided by two, and the gang of bandits died and fled after a while, and scattered in a hurry.
