These newly acquired soldiers from the Instance Dungeon were quite different from the current soldiers in the Three Kingdoms Civilization area. At this time, they were all armed by Yang Rui with the equipment of the Nihon civilization area. They were also told not to shout and expose their true identities.
Therefore, even if someone was paying attention, it would be difficult to discover the true identity of Yang Rui's soldiers.
Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi also hid their identities. Because the cooldown of the Shapeshifting Mask was not up yet, Yang Rui could only choose the War Mask and hide among the soldiers to avoid exposing his identity.
Wako Uesugi was good at changing his image. He dressed up as a young and handsome general in the Nihon style. Even Yang Rui could not see any trace of him. With the strength of the child, there was basically no need to worry about being discovered by other people.
The Horikoshi Imperial Residence was equivalent to an office. It was the place where the Horikoshi family handled official business. It was not a city in the ordinary sense. It looked more like a courtyard close to the structure of a mountain city. The number of soldiers stationed in it was only twenty to thirty thousand.
In addition, the appearance of Yang Rui's troops was too sudden. Therefore, after Yang Rui's troops surrounded the Horikoshi Imperial Residence, under the command of Wako Uesugi, it only took them half an hour to completely control the Horikoshi Imperial Residence. The casualties in the process were also very small.
At this time, Wako Uesugi's talent secret techniques and attack secret techniques were secondary. They were not suitable for Yang Rui's troops. However, during the process of capturing the Horikoshi Imperial Residence, the child still showed an extremely high command talent. He commanded from front to back without missing a single detail. He did not give the defending troops any chance to counterattack.
The Horikoshi Imperial Residence was currently just a symbolic administrative residence of the Horikoshi. In fact, they did not put too much effort into it. They did not even put in a decent general. There were not many valuable items in the Horikoshi Imperial Residence. Therefore, after Yang Rui took it, he only emptied the treasury and did not waste any more time.
From the treasury of the Horikoshi Imperial Residence, Yang Rui obtained a total of several thousand gold coins, ten thousand kilograms of food, and a thousand sets of ordinary soldier equipment. The various resources obtained could be said to be very limited. From this, it could be seen that the Horikoshi did not care about this place. Or perhaps the Horikoshi was lacking in resources.
After that, Yang Rui immediately used Sky City in a short building similar to Tenshou Pavilion in the center of the Imperial Palace. He quickly gathered the soldiers and left Horikoshi's Imperial Palace. He hurriedly headed towards his next target, Hiruyama city.
In the process of gathering his troops, Yang Rui chose to do it in a sealed space in order to minimize the possibility of Sky City being discovered.
Hiruyama city was not far from the Horikoshi Imperial Residence. If he sent a message on horseback, it would only take about an hour. However, Yang Rui had the advantage of Sky City. He did not waste too much time at the Horikoshi Imperial Residence. Therefore, before the news reached Hiruyama city, Yang Rui had already led his troops to the city.
At this time, it was still early. Yang Rui released all his troops from a forest somewhere in the Hiruyama Mountains and immediately launched an attack on Hiruyama city.
Unlike the Horikoshi Imperial Residence, although the number of guards in Hiruyama city did not increase by much, still only thirty to forty thousand people, there was an old general stationed in the city. At the same time, Hiruyama city's defenses were much higher than the Horikoshi Imperial Residence.
However, before the attack, Wako Uesugi actually succeeded in luring the city's general out and entered into a one on one battle with Yang Rui. This reduced the difficulty of the attack by quite a bit.
The old general's technique was very strange. With Yang Rui's strength as a level two historical general, he could usually fight on par with a level one historical general. However, when he first met the old general, he almost suffered a loss.
The old general's technique emphasized the word "fast". Moreover, it was not just fast. When he attacked with his katana, there would be a small portion of its trajectory that could not be grasped. It was like teleportation!
It was indeed teleportation. One moment the blade was still in the air, the next moment it would appear in front of the opponent. The technique looked very strange. Yang Rui almost suffered a loss because of this secret technique of the old general.
Fortunately, Yang Rui's Scarlet Emperor Swordsmanship was not ordinary and did not reveal many flaws. Therefore, when the katana "teleported" and appeared above his left shoulder. Yang Rui managed to block the attack in the nick of time.
At the same time, the old general's "teleportation" secret technique did not seem to be able to be used all the time. Especially after Yang Rui increased the intensity of his attacks, the old general did not have a chance to attack again. This meant that there were prerequisites to use the "teleportation" secret technique.
If it was not for the fact that time was tight, Yang Rui wanted the old general to use it a few more times so that he could understand the characteristics of this type of opponent.
From the previous attack, Ye Zichen could see that. Actually, Yang Rui had already grasped something. If the old general used the "teleportation" secret technique again, Yang Rui felt that he would not be as passive as before.
Due to the limitations of the battlefield, he could not afford to fail in taking down the old general. After Yang Rui completely grasped the initiative, he suppressed the old general and took the opportunity to block the old general's path of retreat, preventing the old general from escaping into the city again.
After more than ten moves, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of his opponent's strength. If this old general were to be classified according to the strength of the three civilizations, he would only be at the level of a Grade 3 historical general. After Yang Rui took the initiative, it was not difficult to deal with him.
"Huo!"
"Pu!"
"…"
Yang Rui grasped the opportunity and killed the old general in two or three moves. Then, with a slash of his sword, he removed half of the old general's head. Both sides of the battle fell silent.
The City Lord General died in a one-on-one battle, so the rest was simple. Before Yang Rui could say anything, the Uesugi kid had already taken the chance to lead Yang Rui's soldiers to attack Onion Mountain City.
The Hōjō Clan troops inside the city were like a group of dragons without a leader. At the same time, the Uesugi brat was leading the charge and commanding the troops calmly. In less than two hours, the city was already under the control of Yang Rui's troops.
Yang Rui ordered a group of soldiers to clean up the battlefield and search for supplies everywhere in the city. Only then did he have time to check the items dropped by the old general he killed earlier.
According to Wako Uesugi's judgment, the old general should not be one of the "Hōjō Hōjō". Based on his age, he should be a vassal of the Hōjō clan.
