The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 172 Success and Destruction

under night.

Gurgling.

The heavy sound of grinding the ground, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, spread everywhere.

Among these sounds, there is occasionally the sound of metal colliding.

Soon, the sound stopped at Jingtao Pier.

The crowd made way for them without saying a word, and four women with their hands tied walked out of the road slowly, trembling all over.

People found them in a house in the outer city. At first, no one had left the house, and a thief wanted to break in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the thief entered, a shrill scream was heard.

The people who followed the sound and kicked the door open were frightened by two black dogs as big as cows that jumped out of the door.

After the two black dogs bit several people to death, they were beaten to death by the crowd with sharp weapons.

Then, people found four girls with haggard faces due to hunger in the house. They claimed that they were captured and brought into the house by an evildoer.

However, the county town is now in a state of panic, with every tree and grass looking like an enemy.

No one was willing to believe them, and some even thought they were related to monsters.

Therefore, they had to force these four girls to enter Jingtao Tower first and lure out the terrifying child from last time.

Memories flashed through her mind, and one of the four girls was about to turn around.

Bang! The bowstring exploded, her body leaped forward, and then she fell to the ground with her eyes wide open.

"Go! If you stop you will die!"

Hearing the low growl behind them, the three girls with tears streaming down their faces started walking towards the Jingtao Tower not far away.

At this moment, there was darkness in the open door of Jingtao Tower, like the open mouth of a giant beast, waiting for food to enter.

Not long after, the three girls walked to the front door. They looked at each other and stepped over the threshold.

After a while, there was no movement in Jingtao Tower.

After a while, there was still no sound in Jingtao Tower.

"No more waiting! Push the things over here and let the people behind me listen to my orders."

Cui Jingshan’s low roar was heard from the armor.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd pushed three sturdy machines to the front.

Those three machines turned out to be siege crossbows mounted on wheels.

Everyone picked up the hammers and ropes in their hands and nailed the siege crossbow aimed at Jingtao Tower firmly to the ground.

Several people took up the oil bag and punctured it, pouring it on the huge arrow flashing with cold light.

"Ready! Cum!"

Bang! ! !
With three overlapping thunderous noises, the siege crossbow trembled, raising a circle of smoke and dust, and a huge flaming crossbow arrow shot out.

boom! ! !
The gate was broken, smoke and flames rose from inside.

"Master Cui, the height is not enough."

"Then raise it! Let me play the ones at the back!!!"

After the roar, buzz! bang!!!

Flying rocks from the sky hit Jingtao Tower like raindrops, and Jingtao Tower was followed by crackling sounds.

"Get on the rock! Keep pulling!"

"Get on the rock! Keep pulling!"

The crowd carried Cui Jingshan's roar to the back.

I saw a tall machine at the back.

On the four wheels, there is a huge heavy wooden pillar placed on a wooden frame.

At the long end of the wooden frame was a huge leather basket, and at the short end were hundreds of ropes tied to it.

Dozens of civilians who were not wearing armor heard the order and hurriedly used ropes to restore the long end that was raised high.

As soon as it was restored, someone poured all the sharp stones in the backpack into the leather frame at the long end.

"pull!"

A dozen people filled with stones roared at the same time.

Hundreds of civilians who were also not wearing armor heard the order and pulled the ropes at the same time.

The short end was under force, the lever principle took effect, and the long end suddenly rose up again. Countless stones turned into raindrops, flew over the crowd, and fell towards the Jingtao Tower.

Crash! The smoke and dust that enveloped Jingtao Tower expanded several times.

"Add kerosene! Wait for orders!"

Cui Jingshan glanced at the siege crossbow that was being strung with a windlass.

"Listen to my orders! Don't act rashly!"

After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated, and everyone was able to see Jingtao Tower clearly.

The fire on the first floor was spreading to the second floor, and the windows, tiles and even walls on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors were all broken.

The seventh, eighth and ninth floors were even more seriously damaged. Half of the side close to the flow of people had collapsed. At this time, someone exclaimed:
"Is there anyone there?!" "Yes, I saw it too!"

Through the damaged area on the ninth floor, several figures can be seen in the shadows.

Three figures were shaking, and one of them was sitting cross-legged.

However, due to the obstruction of view from the remaining buildings and the dim moonlight, the figure could not be seen clearly.

But, it was enough to get the crowd excited.

After so much effort and so many sacrifices, they finally broke into Jingtao Tower.

The next step is to force Chang An to take action.

The figure sitting cross-legged must be Chang Anhe.

With this thought in mind, countless people looked at Cui Jingshan, waiting for his next order.

Because he was wearing a mask, only his two eyes were exposed, and others could not see his expression clearly.

Only those standing next to him could hear that his breathing was becoming more rapid.

"Crossbow! Shoot!"

Bang! ! !
The Jingtao Tower shook, and smoke and dust rose from the fifth floor.

"Raise the crossbow higher! Throw in the kerosene!"

"Throw kerosene!"

"Throw kerosene!"

As soon as the order reached the back of the crowd, the catapult was raised and net bags filled with countless balls flew out.

The net bag hit Jingtao Tower, the ball burst, and thick liquid flowed everywhere.

Unexpectedly, the crowd sighed one after another, and the kerosene did not hit the ninth floor.

The kerosene on the seventh floor quickly flowed to the second floor.

Swish! A drop of kerosene dripped into the flame, and the flame instantly used the kerosene as a rope to climb upwards.

The billowing black smoke was like a black snake swaying into the sky, wreaking havoc on Jingtao Tower.

"Master Cui, the upgrade is ready!"

Cui Jingshan looked towards the siege crossbow following the sound:

"Where can I shoot?"

"Ninth floor!"

"Sure?"

"I guarantee it with my life!"

"Shoot first! Shoot!"

As everyone was looking forward to it, a huge crossbow arrow pierced through the night and shot into the ninth floor.

Unfortunately, it hit the outermost part of the ninth floor.

"One more shot! Shoot!"

Bang! ! ! !

Alas, with a sigh, the crossbow arrows suddenly stopped.

Amid the astonished gaze of the crowd, the figure who was sitting cross-legged with his hand outstretched slowly stood up.

Crack! The huge crossbow arrow disintegrated and broke, fragments fell from the ninth floor, and a figure stepped into the fire.

He wore a long robe, had gray hair in a bun, a goatee, a hooked nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

“Shield!!!”

Seeing this, Cui Jingshan shouted with all his might, his voice becoming a little distorted.

When everyone raised their shields, Chang Anhe glanced at the broken iron pieces in his hand that were left from the crossbow arrow he had just crushed.

As he raised his left hand, Cui Jingshan simply laid on the ground with his hands covering his head.

boom! ! ! !

A disc-shaped shock wave exploded on the ninth floor, directly extinguishing the flames on the seventh floor.

The next moment, countless holes appeared on the heavy shields in people's hands that were used to block powerful crossbows.

Puff! The people holding shields in front of the crowd vomited blood and suddenly crashed into the crowd behind them.

Seeing that the people in front were in the last row, a man next to the siege crossbow hurriedly fired crossbow arrows, completely forgetting what Cui Jingshan had said before not to act rashly.

The crossbow arrow shot out like a branch fluttering in the wind and was caught by Chang Anhe.

He kicked the thick arrow shaft in two and waved his hands lightly.

Two siege crossbows exploded with overlapping shock waves.

The flying pieces of wood and iron created a cloud of blood among the people near the siege crossbow.

Chang Anhe, who witnessed everything, murmured to himself:
"Cry, shout, scream, and then die."
