Yang Rui naturally didn't say anything. He knocked the general unconscious with the hilt of his sword and tossed him into his storage ring.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the entire Tenshou Pavilion was now under the complete control of Yang Rui's Terracotta Army. Surprisingly, there was no second Houjo general guarding the Tenshou Pavilion.
It was only now that Yang Rui began to suspect that the general who captured the Terracotta Army from the Tenshou Pavilion could be Houjo Yasu!
This was because Yang Rui noticed that the general's attire seemed to be a little exaggerated. Although the attire of the generals in the Nihon civilization was very exaggerated, Yang Rui had only seen Takeda Shingen in a similar attire before.
The general's attire was extremely bright, and his attire was very loose. His helmet, or rather, hat, was extremely tall, almost the same as the tall hats of Dou Dizhu players. No matter how one looked at him, he looked very strange.
Perhaps this was the popular attire of the Nihon civilization's House Governors or Guardians. Therefore, the possibility that the general Yang Rui captured in his storage ring earlier was Houjo Yasu was even greater.
From the very beginning, Yang Rui had the intention of subduing the Houjo Clan. Although Wako Uesugi had warned the Houjo Clan that they wouldn't dare to submit, and at the same time, they might have a close relationship with the shogunate. If he could subdue Houjo Yasu and use the Houjo Clan's strength for his own use, that would obviously be the most ideal situation.
However, the general was still unconscious. Moreover, even if he was awake, it wouldn't be that easy to subdue him. At the same time, the current situation in Heyue City wouldn't be resolved by subduing the Houjo Clan.
At the very least, the allied forces of the Uesugi Clan and the Ashikaga Sei Clan outside the city might not agree to the Houjo Clan's compromise. This was because they had the initiative in the current situation, although this advantage wasn't something they fought for themselves.
However, a person's ability to weigh their gains and losses was very realistic. Under different circumstances, one's thoughts and choices would differ greatly. If Yang Rui didn't participate in this battle, the Allied Army's outcome wouldn't be too good. However, they definitely wouldn't consider that at this point.
Currently, Yang Rui's army of terracotta soldiers had a time limit. Up until now, there were still very few casualties. Even the nine terracotta generals only had a time limit of 24 hours. At this moment, there were still more than two hours left. Therefore, Yang Rui did not mind unleashing all of its power.
If he chose to completely destroy the Hōjō Clan, it would be a good choice for Wako Uesugi's future situation. Without the Hōjō Clan's interference, Wako Uesugi's main opponent would be the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen.
As for the Rima clan further away on the Anfang Peninsula. They could only be considered as a potential opponent. In the entire northeastern region of the Nihon civilization, Wako Uesugi's situation would be much smoother.
Under the current circumstances, Yang Rui could only go with the flow. After taking down Tenshou Pavilion, Yang Rui gathered the terracotta soldiers. He was preparing to clear out the rest of the Hōjō Clan in Heyue City.
At this time, three batches of Hōjō Clan reinforcements arrived at Tenshou Pavilion one after another. It seemed like they were here to provide reinforcements. However, they were still a little late.
The three batches of Hōjō Clan troops were each led by a Nihon general. Each batch had about ten thousand soldiers. To Yang Rui, they didn't pose any threat. On the contrary, it saved him a lot of time to search for them.
"Yi Yi!"
"Keng! Keng! Keng … "
"…"
The Hōjō Clan troops seemed to be very loyal. As soon as the three batches of Hōjō Clan troops arrived, they charged forward without any hesitation and clashed with Yang Rui's terracotta soldiers.
If one were to observe from the outside, it wouldn't be easy to see that Yang Rui had already taken control of the entire Tenshou Pavilion. After all, Yang Rui hadn't been here for long. The Hōjō Clan troops only treated it as reinforcements.
However, as soon as they clashed, the other party obviously realized that something was wrong. Especially the three Hōjō generals who came in three batches. As soon as they came in contact, they were entangled by two or three terracotta soldiers and were quickly defeated.
Even though they were all extremely loyal and brave, when they saw the terracotta warriors, they were all secretly shocked. Most importantly, the strength of these terracotta warriors was extraordinary. Every single terracotta warrior was enough to deal with the Houjo Clan's generals. Not to mention the fact that two or three terracotta soldiers were working together.
"Pata!"
"Pata!"
"Pata!"
"…"
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the three Hōjō generals were defeated by the nine terracotta soldiers and lost their ability to fight. They were dragged over one by one and thrown in front of Yang Rui. Then, they were knocked unconscious by Yang Rui. He directly threw them into the storage ring.
The remaining Hōjō soldiers naturally couldn't do much. Facing Yang Rui's terracotta soldiers who were several times their number, and with their generals captured one after another, the Hōjō soldiers were also quickly reaped.
At this moment, Yang Rui couldn't help but acknowledge that even when their generals were captured, the Hōjō soldiers still didn't scatter. Instead, they didn't stop charging towards Tenshou Pavilion. From this, it could be seen that the Hōjō Clan's ability to command an army was very good.
Not only were the three waves of reinforcements rushing over, the Hōjō soldiers were still rushing over from all directions of Heyue City. It was just that there weren't any powerful generals that appeared. Although the terracotta soldiers held the advantage in terms of numbers, it still took some time to clear out the Hōjō soldiers.
During this time, Yang Rui didn't stay idle. While the nine terracotta soldiers were fighting with the three Hōjō generals, Yang Rui had been observing the strength and techniques of the Hōjō generals in the Wo Nation's territory. From this, he gained quite a bit of insight.
Although the Hōjō reinforcements were still rushing over, they were gradually losing their numbers. In fact, the Hōjō soldiers in Heyue City were already at a disadvantage compared to the reinforcements. At this moment, the allied army outside the city was still feigning an attack, so there weren't many soldiers left in the city that could be mobilized.
In the time it took to eat a meal, Yang Rui's terracotta soldiers had cleared out the Hōjō soldiers near Tianshou Pavilion. Then, he split up with Wako Uesugi, each of them leading over forty thousand terracotta soldiers and four or five terracotta generals, respectively towards the north and west gates of Heyue City.
Counting the eight Hōjō elders, there weren't many of them left. If nothing unexpected happened, the remaining generals should be participating in the defense of the various gates, just like the general Yang Rui encountered when he first broke through the east gate.
If it wasn't for the fact that the roads in Heyue City were too winding, and that the terracotta soldiers' ability to discern was inferior to ordinary people, Yang Rui could have just split his troops into three different directions and not have to worry about facing a difficult situation. At this moment, he could only temporarily abandon the south gate of Heyue City for last.
