Yes I believe you can connect it to your USB-C port. It will not charge the laptop but through DisplayLink you should get video output from the HDMI port. Not sure you will also get it from the DP ports so you might be limited to one external monitor but you can hook the other to the HDMI port on the laptop.

You have a USB-C port but it is data only so does not carry a display signal. Nor can you charge the laptop via USB-C. So your best option is for a USB 3.0 port replicator with Display Link technology. You will still have to connect the laptop charger to keep the laptop powered up but can connect mouse, keyboard, 2 external HDMI monitor (might have to use DVI to HDMI adapter for one), ethernet, etc. 

 

Example only you can find many more generally like this one:

Post back with any questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thank-you for the reply.  Would something like this be all right:

I believe it's both USB 3 and USB-C (future proof if I change my latop in the future with a compatible  USB-C that carries display signal and provide power).
