I am no expert but...
Pulling on one guy and cutting the other guys will let it go sideways. If
you cut two legs, I think it will probably go sideways.
I would cut the back half of the legs you want it to fall toward, fully cut
the opposite leg, then that guy. A slight pull on both of the other guys
should start it down between them.
That is assuming the guy anchors are further from the tower than the height
of the tower. Otherwise I would pull with a couple of longer ropes.
BUT as I said, I have no experience destroying towers. I have always used
hinged bases and brought them down in a controlled fashion.
