Chapter 472 The Restoration Army Enters Nanjing Road
After the short rest, Zhang Yuejing ordered the three armies of the Trapped Army, the Defeated Army and the You Yi Army to move quickly.

In a very short time, the three armies had arrived at the attack site in Shanzhou, ready to attack.

Su Yonglin increased the number of troops to each of these three armies to 2, and the attack launched was an attack of 6. It is not difficult to capture Kaifeng and Nanjing Road with such troops. Judging from the current situation, the entire Jin Army on Nanjing Road The number of people is also less than this number.

Unless they urgently expand the army and recruit a large group of Meng An Moke households who have no fighting power into the army, it can indeed bring some trouble to Zhang Yuejing.

But it's just some trouble.

Learning from the experience and lessons of Zhao Kaishan's previous attack on Kaifeng by the Jin Army's cavalry who copied the back road of his hometown, the action of the Restoration Army this time is to fight steadily.

Su Yonglin also sent troops to Xuzhou and Pizhou to monitor the movement of the Jin army in the direction of Suzhou, which was further south, so that the Jin army in the direction of Suzhou and Sizhou could not be chaotic.

And there is a particularly good assistant in this battle - the Southern Song Dynasty, who is training troops and preparing for the battle.

Because of the training and preparation of troops in the Southern Song Dynasty, Kong Yanzhou had a very bad life these days.

Kong Yanzhou, Wan Yanliang's Southern Expedition, is not worried. From Kong Yanzhou's point of view, although the Guangfu Army is more capable of fighting and is different from ordinary rebels, it is not a challenge at all when facing Wan Yanliang's nearly 50 Southern Expedition. thing.

The Restoration Army must be destroyed.

But whether the Southern Song Dynasty would suddenly attack Kaifeng while Wanyanliang and the Restoration Army were fighting fiercely, that's hard to say.

In the past ten years, I heard that the Southern Song Dynasty had never prepared for war in this area of ​​the border, and had always been a filial son of the Great Jin Kingdom. Since Kong Yanzhou himself took office, the Southern Song Dynasty has never carried out any military operations in this area.

Everyone has been having a good time.

But this time was different. This time, the Southern Song Dynasty really began to prepare for war.

Haozhou, Anfeng Army, Gwangju, Xinyang Army, Zaoyang Army, Gwanghwa Army and other places along Nanjing Road have really started to prepare for war. Every Song Army is practicing and fighting. Get ready, it looks like it's going to be a big fight.

And at the end of the first month, the exact news came.

It is said that Wanyanliang's army's southward expedition to conquer the Restoration Army caused great anxiety in the Southern Song Dynasty. On the one hand, the decision-makers of the Southern Song Dynasty court inspected the armaments of various places and forced the troops to exercise in various places. The soul figure Zhang Jun recalled to Lin'an.

This caused Kong Yanzhou to be extremely nervous.

Zhang Jun, the old guy, can be called the most rigid civil servant in the Southern Song Dynasty. He has led troops to fight against the peak Jin army many times, and he is not afraid.

Despite his repeated defeats, Naihe really dared to fight, and his head was very iron. The Wanyan group who defeated him still spoke highly of Zhang Jun and called him [Zhang Shumi] with respect.

The Southern Song Dynasty was originally a big country. Although it was a vassal to the Jin country, it was still a big country. The background and strength of a big country still existed. If it really wanted to be mobilized, it was not impossible to use hundreds of thousands of troops.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jun's stinky and hard old stone, the entire Nanjing Road with insufficient troops will really be stabbed into a sieve.

Although the previous battle of Zhao Kaishan did not hurt the vitality of the Nanjing Road Jin Army, it did consume a lot of war reserves. Also, because the expansion and reconstruction of Kaifeng Mansion was still in progress, Kong Yanzhou had very limited resources.

Not to mention resources, but only the army, most of the army in his hands is also used to guard and monitor the movements of the Song army on the Jin-Song border, so that the mobile force that he can mobilize is very limited.

Now that the Song army is aggressive, Kong Yanzhou is really too nervous, for fear that the Song army will send troops north before Wanyanliang defeats the Restoration Army, fight with the Restoration Army and annex Nanjing Road.

At that time, the troops in his hands were simply not enough to resist the attack of the Song Army and the Restoration Army at the same time, and Nanjing Road would definitely not be guaranteed.

So he sent people to Wanyanliang and the Zhongdu court to ask for reinforcements many times, but he didn't get any meaningful reply.

In the first ten days of February, Kong Yanzhou got the exact news again, saying that Zhang Jun had returned to Lin'an and was summoned by Song Emperor Zhao Gou to discuss the war in the north with him.

At present, he doesn't know what Zhang Jun's attitude is about this, but as Zhang Jun entered Lin'an City, the call for war in the entire Southern Song Dynasty was very high, and the war sentiment was also raised, and the border military drills rose from wave to wave.

Not to mention whether it is really going to enter the army, the momentum is still real, quite good, and it is also very effective as a deterrent. The border gold army is indeed very nervous.

It seems that the Southern Song Dynasty is really going to send troops north.

Kong Yanzhou was also extremely nervous. He focused all his energy on the southern border, and inquired about relevant information carefully, not intending to miss any information.

On the one hand, he really intends to stick to it and fight the Southern Song Dynasty. In any case, he can't rashly hand over Nanjing Road without doing anything. In that case, he is really sorry for Wanyanliang's entrustment.

On the other hand, he was also prepared to retreat north as soon as the war situation was irreversible - an army against a country's northern expedition army was impossible.

Therefore, he was defeated by a single army in the hands of the Northern Expedition in a country of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was not a capital crime anyway.

If the opponent is Zhang Jun, even more so, there is a high probability that nothing will happen, and at most he will be demoted and fined.

After calculating the stakes, Kong Yanzhou was not worried about his retreat, so he ordered the border states to enter the first-level combat readiness state. If there is any trouble, he can act on the camera without reporting to him in advance.

Of course, if the fight is really going to start, he must be told as soon as possible - he cannot delay his escape.

But people are not as good as the sky, Kong Yanzhou's energy is almost all on the Southern Song Dynasty, so that when the tens of thousands of troops of the Liberation Army crossed the Yellow River and entered the Guide Mansion, Kong Yanzhou still did not respond.

The fully prepared military operations of the Restoration Army were not taken seriously by Kong Yanzhou, and the control area bordering the Restoration Army did not have enough troops for defense, so they were quickly defeated like a mountain, and the captain of the Restoration Army drove straight in.

When the Guangfu Army split into two and entered Juzhou, Kong Yanzhou had just received the news that the Guangfu Army had approached Kaifeng Mansion, which frightened Kong Yanzhou quite a bit.

He didn't understand how the Restoration Army suddenly launched an attack and attacked so quickly in just a few days.

Zhang Yuejing sent troops into two groups. He was the main general all the way, and Zhou Zhi led You Yi's army as the main force. Zhang Yuejing was responsible for the main attack, and Zhou Zhi was responsible for quickly approaching and surrounding Kaifeng. Don't let Kong Yanzhou go.

Therefore, Zhang Yuejing also handed over almost all the cavalry that could be used to Zhou Zhi, and let Zhou Zhi take a better path, in order to achieve the effect of raiding Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible.

Zhang Yuejing, on the other hand, led the main force on the main road and conquered the four counties of Yucheng, Songcheng, Ningling and Xiangyi all the way. Get the news and hurry up, in short, there is no effective obstacle to the attack of the Restoration Army.

While fighting, the Restoration Army also continued to spread the news of Wanyan Liang's death and the annihilation of the Jin Army's southern expedition army, in order to shock and shake the fighting will and determination of the Jin Army on the Nanjing Road, in order to defeat them faster and expel them.

This approach is very effective. Anyway, Zhang Yuejing went all the way to the west, and he did not encounter any real obstacles. After conquering the prefectures and counties, he asked the local people and learned that the Jurchen bureaucrats and the army heard that the Guangfu Army was coming, and they all fled in embarrassment, leaving only behind local Chinese.

They didn't have the confidence to hold on at all. When they heard that the Restoration Army was coming, they immediately gave up their resistance and chose to flee. The posture was exactly the same as that of the Song Army back then.

At this moment, and at that time, it is so similar that history has gone around in a big circle and has come back.

Of course, the Restoration Army would not harm the local Han people. They lived in peace with the local Han people, so the local ruling power changed hands smoothly.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is whether Zhou Zhi can reach the besieged city of Kaifeng with the fastest speed and besiege all the Jinjun Center of Nanjing Road in the city, including the damn bastard Kong Yanzhou.
