Regarding the information about the "Hojo Three Elders" and "Hojo Five Colors", the eight elders of Hojo, on the way to Izu and Sagami, Uesugi Wako once again focused on introducing Yang Rui.

However, because the names of the characters in the civilization area of the Wa Kingdom were too difficult to remember, Yang Rui only knew it in his heart, but he never remembered all their names.

There is no doubt that the Hojo clan was able to gain a firm foothold in the Kanto region and continued to expand the land, which has a lot to do with the strength of Hojo Hachiro, plus the Hojo clan members such as Hojo clan Yasu, the entire Hojo clan heritage can be seen.

Therefore, Yang Rui's action against the Hojo clan this time did not have the slightest intention of taking it lightly from the beginning, and made up his mind to go all out and subdue the Hojo clan's "strip" insect directly, leaving no possibility for the other party to turn over!

It took a little longer to clean up Nirayama Castle, after all, Nirayama Castle was still the old nest of the Hojo clan, although the Hojo clan had a tendency to transfer the old nest to Odawara Castle, but it was only in the early stages at this time.

It took about half an hour before and after, and Yang Rui's troops finally "looted" the entire Jiushan City, but what they got in the end still surprised Yang Rui.

In the entire Jiushan City Treasury, Yang Rui harvested less than 20,000 gold coins in total, and the food item was not as much as the Horikoshi Imperial Palace, only a few thousand catties, I don't know if it was the result of being mobilized because of the tight front, anyway, it seems that the various materials in the hands of the Hojo clan will not be too rich.

As for all kinds of soldiers' equipment and other items, like money and food, there is not much inventory, and it should also be the result of being transferred to the front of the war, while other items of more value are almost nowhere to be found.

Yang Rui just did it casually for the harvest of the war gains in the two places of Jiushan City and Horikoshi Imperial Palace, and he didn't care too much about the quantity. Through the situation in the previous two cities, Yang Rui also has a general understanding of the material reserves of the Hojo clan.

After gathering all the soldiers and soldiers, Yang Rui immediately used Sky City to continue northward, aiming directly at the direction of Odawara Castle, the core of the operation.

Regarding the strategic position of Odawara Castle, Uesugi Wazi attaches great importance to it, and reminds Yang Rui several times to take it as a key object of care. Showed keen insight.

After all, at this time, Odawara Castle has not been mastered for a short time, and the situation in its northwest direction is not stable enough, and the Hojo clan has not yet completely treated Odawara Castle as its main city.

As a player, Yang Rui understands the importance of Odawara Castle better, he knows very little about the Warring States of the Wa Kingdom, but he has heard of Odawara Castle, the strongest city of the Warring States of the Wa Kingdom!

Especially after doing some homework on the situation around the country of Yue and the country, Yang Rui's understanding of Odawara City became clearer.

Historically, after being controlled by the Hojo clan, Odawara Castle has been reinforced. It was regarded as a stable old nest of the Hojo clan, and it was crucial to the entire Hojo clan's strategy in the Kanto region.

Therefore, in fact, there is no need for Uesugi Wazi to remind him, Yang Rui is also very aware of the importance of Odawara Castle, and it can be said that the focus of consideration has been on Odawara Castle from the beginning.

At this time, Yang Rui hurried to Odawara Castle, firstly, to prevent the information that Horikoshi Imperial Palace and Nirayama Castle were captured from spreading too quickly to Odawara Castle, so that the other party was prepared, thereby increasing the difficulty of attacking the city.

On the other hand, Yang Rui also collaborated with the two Uesugi clans and the Ashikaga Haruki clan through Uesugi Wako. Prepare to launch an attack on Koeshi Castle and Odawara Castle at the same time.

Yang Rui's side was responsible for attacking Odawara Castle, and the other group of allied forces was responsible for attacking and recapturing Heyue Castle. So that they can't look at each other, so as to defeat the Hojo clan in one fell swoop.

The determination of the siege time was also carefully calculated by Yang Rui based on the speed of the Sky City and the difficulty of the siege of Horikoshi Imperial Palace and Jiushan Castle, and at the same time reserved a lot of leeway.

The timekeeping method of the Wa civilization region is almost plagiarized from the civilization region of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the timekeeping method of the twelve earthly branches, so there is no obstacle to the communication between the Wazi and the two Uesugi clans and the Ashikaga Haru clan.

It's just that I don't know if the situation of the night battle in Heyue, which broke out in advance due to Yang Rui's arrival, will change.

In fact, even if Yang Rui is not here to promote the war between the two sides. The two Uesugi clans and the Ashikaga Haruki clan had already reached an alliance and deployed part of the coalition forces not far from Kawagoe Castle, which is why Uesugi Wako was able to quickly coordinate with each other.

No matter what the outcome of the battle of Heyue City will be, Yang Rui has already made up his mind to invest all his troops in the next battle of Odawara City. Fortunately, the fortified city was taken down as soon as possible.

Among them, there are 9 driving tokens and 1 terracotta tiger talisman Yang Rui is also ready to use it for the first time, both tokens are valid for 12 hours, with the transfer of Sky City, I believe that within 12 hours, the summons of these two tokens will definitely not be limited to Odawara Castle only.

At the same time, since the time of the attack was chosen in the middle of the night, if the situation required it, Yang Rui did not mind using all the soldiers and siege equipment in the Sky City, and I believe that it would not be exposed much.

Yang Rui arrived near Odawara Castle more than two hours earlier than the agreed siege time, and it was not yet half of the night, so Yang Rui had plenty of time to prepare for the siege.

Before finally meeting with the same Sugi Wazi, Yang Rui had spent a lot of time exploring Odawara Castle in advance, and he had a very clear understanding of the situation in Odawara Castle.

As the first fortified castle in the Warring States civilization area, it has not yet reached the peak of construction under the current circumstances, but it seems to be extremely strong.

Built against the backdrop of Mt. Hachiman, Odawara Castle is surrounded by rivers, and the entire castle is divided into three tiers in height, each of which has a strong defensive effect.

In terms of layout, Odawara Castle is even more intricate, the entire city is planned into four or five pieces, almost each of which is separated by a river, which can not only take care of each other, but also be split into a unit at a critical moment, each unit can be independently defended.

In the historical facts, it took several months for the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi to capture it from the Hojo clan.

When Yang Rui explored before, he comprehensively inspected all directions of Odawara Castle from the air, and finally did not think of a very effective siege method. (To be continued.) )
