Chapter 193 Li Dingguo's confidence, discovering the ancient secret again
"Ha ha……"
"I didn't expect that I would also make the mistake of not seeing the best in the best light."
"They only think about asking people to go out and look for it at all costs, and ignore their own collections at home."
The headquarters of the Renaissance Army base, the island in the middle of the lake, and the huge backyard of the military building.
In the newly built library which was dozens of feet in radius, Li Dingguo looked at the three ancient secret books that he had accidentally flipped through and laughed.
He had a rare moment of free time today, so he came to the library alone. Unexpectedly, he got a surprise by accident.
The soldiers of the Fuxing Army had already started the synchronous rotation mode between the north and the south three days ago.
With the current foundation of the Fuxing Army and the combat effectiveness of the five major legions, there is no need for Li Dingguo to personally intervene in this round of sweeping operations against the small and medium-sized Tatar tribes unless there are special circumstances.
It has a well-established General Staff and Internal Affairs Department to carry out standardized command and supervision.
There is also a logistics department directly under the military, which sends secretaries at all levels to accompany the army to distribute military supplies and logistical materials, register military merits, count and compile records of spoils of war, etc., so there is no need to worry about any trouble.
The current military intelligence personnel of the Renaissance Army and the scout teams of each combat battalion have been fully trained and regularized.
The military clearly stipulates that before any future battle of the Renaissance Army begins, each combat battalion of the five major legions must first find out the general situation of the enemy, the number of personnel and supplies, whether there are any Qi Refining Realm masters, any abnormalities, etc.
The Restoration Army must maintain its fine tradition of never engaging in a direct battle with the enemy if it can gain an advantage in launching a surprise attack.
Li Dingguo doesn't have to worry about these independent combat battalions suffering losses.
Li Dingguo's previous life history has proved that the flexible and changeable guerrilla warfare mode is the most lethal and most helpless tactic for the enemy.
Especially when the enemy's strength apparently enjoys a huge advantage, going deep into the enemy's war zone and launching a flexible and changeable guerrilla warfare mode will cause great headaches for any enemy.
For example, in modern wars of later generations, as long as there is an elite force that breaks up into small groups and quietly penetrates into enemy-occupied areas or enemy large cities, launching an urban guerrilla warfare mode aimed at killing the enemy's manpower, even if the enemy has a large number of strategic weapons such as nuclear bombs and cruise missiles, it will be of no use.
Unless you are so cruel as to use nuclear bombs and other destructive weapons to launch cluster bombings, razing your own cities with tens of millions or even millions of soldiers and civilians to the ground along with the enemy.
Otherwise, they could only watch the enemy frantically killing officials, soldiers and civilians in the core cities in their territory, and thus had to engage in urban guerrilla warfare with the enemy with heavy casualties.
But don’t forget that the tactics that complement guerrilla warfare also include tunnel warfare.
Even if you are ruthless and launch a cluster bombing on the big cities inside your own territory, as long as the enemy has dug some tunnels in advance, even if you raze your big cities to the ground, you may not be able to kill the enemy who has sneaked into your own nest.
Li Dingguo, who had a vision that transcended his time, was not afraid of Huang Taiji, one of the world's current hegemons, after his own Fuxing Army had become powerful and regularized.
If Huang Taiji became aggressive and pushed him into a corner, Li Dingguo would just have to immediately abandon his current survival base, lead the Fuxing Army on a long-distance raid, and quietly penetrate into the vast Liaodong region.
Then, they launched an unlimited guerrilla warfare without any regard for military ethics, and indiscriminately slaughtered all the Later Jin Tartar soldiers and civilians encountered by the soldiers of the Fuxing Army!
They moved to another location after each shot, playing hide-and-seek with the Later Jin Tartars and avoiding a head-on collision with them. Their only goal was to kill the Later Jin Tartars' active forces.
Once Li Dingguo started this war mode that was ahead of its time, it would not take long for the Later Jin Tartars to fall into collapse and be left with no tears to cry.
However, Li Dingguo would not start this kind of war mode that would result in mutual destruction unless he had no other choice.
Because this kind of warfare mode will not only cause irreparable huge damage to the enemy, but also interrupt the development momentum of one's own forces, thus falling into an endless war of life and death with the enemy.
It won't stop until one side completely collapses.
Therefore, Li Dingguo would definitely not choose this mode of warfare unless he was absolutely helpless.
After all, as long as there is room for normal development and growth of one's own forces, of course one should focus on development.
There is not only one great enemy like the Later Jin Tartars in the world, there are also countless powerful white Hu people, who are the real mortal enemies of the Fuxing Army in the future.
The soldiers of the five major legions have already started the expedition rotation mode. Li Dingguo stays peacefully in his own base and is not worried about the safety of the soldiers.
Three days ago, Tang Guangqiang, Chang Liyun and Liang Hetang, three high-ranking generals of the Renaissance Army, were finally able to break through after being stuck at the peak of the Body Refining Realm for three months, and successfully broke through to the initial fourth level of the martial arts realm.
So far, in addition to Li Dingguo, there are already eight Qi Refining Realm generals in the Fuxing Army.
Under their leadership, the soldiers on the expedition formed military killing formations and dealt with the small and medium-sized Tatar tribes one by one, under the premise of not fighting a battle they were not sure of winning. Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem at all.
Li Dingguo, who finally had some free time, was sitting in the headquarters of the Fuxing Army when he suddenly remembered something. He then came to the library and carefully looked through the large number of ancient books that he had obtained through various means over the past six months.
In the past, he did not have enough time to carefully read the large number of ancient books here. Now that the Renaissance Army has initially got on the right track, he can finally satisfy his curiosity.
As it turned out, he was lucky enough, after reading a large number of ancient books here, he unexpectedly discovered one of the things he had always wanted: the secret of how those mysterious master craftsmen in today's world cultivated themselves.
"Overview of Primary Refiners." "Five Elements Basic Refining Techniques."
"Detailed explanation of the basic five elements formation."
Sitting beside the large thousand-year-old sandalwood desk near the window in the library, Li Dingguo looked at the three ancient secret books that he had just found by accident, with a gleam in his eyes.
He never imagined that this kind of ancient books that he had been searching for would be hidden among the large number of ancient books and cultural relics collected by the remnants of the Jiehu, and placed in a disorderly manner together with those antique cultural relics.
The characters used on these three strange ancient books are a special seal script used in the ancient Xian Qin period.
Obviously, the remnants of the Jiehu people do not recognize the ancient Qin characters of the Chinese people at all, which is why they are sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it.
Their ancestor Shi Hu once dominated most of the Central Plains region. He slaughtered and looted Han noble families, wealthy merchants, and indeed obtained many rare treasures of China.
For example, the sealed Human Emperor Cauldron, two sets of top-grade spiritual weapons of the Han Dynasty generals and the corresponding cultivation techniques.
Among the old scholars and teachers that Li Dingguo met in Dingbian City, there happened to be one who had a deep study of various ancient scripts.
Out of curiosity and his gift of photographic memory, he often went to ask the other party for advice, thinking that there was no harm in learning more culture. However, he did not recognize the characters used in the ancient Qin Dynasty.
Li Dingguo calmed down and carefully read through the three books with strange paper textures.
"The method of refining the natal spirit fire?"
"Sharp Formation, Solid Formation, Wind Formation, Gravity Formation, Streamer Formation... There are more than a dozen types of Five Elements basic weapon refining formations!"
"The processing and condensation of five elements spiritual materials, the engraving techniques of magic arrays and the principles of mutual generation and mutual restraint, the identification of various spiritual materials from ancient times to the present and an overview of their origins... Isn't this too comprehensive?"
Half an hour later, after carefully reading these three special ancient books written in the ancient Qin seal script, Li Dingguo was shocked.
These three priceless ancient books, essential for weapon refiners from the pre-Qin period, were looted by the Jiehu leader Shi Hu after he destroyed some Han family.
These uncivilized barbarians were sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it, causing these three extremely mysterious ancient Qin secret books to remain covered in dust until today, when they were accidentally discovered by Li Dingguo who was free.
"wrong!"
Li Dingguo thought of something again, and thought to himself, "This set of ancient books, which is specially used to train talents for special professions, did not train the great craftsmen of today, but the unique weapon refiners of the legendary ancient Qin Dynasty!"
It was not until now that he came to his senses and realized that something was wrong.
Judging from the literal meaning alone, the weapon refiners of the ancient Immortal Qin were far superior to the great craftsmen of today.
At least among the great craftsmen that Li Dingguo had heard of, no one had ever cultivated the ability to cultivate his own spiritual fire.
Although these three ancient books of Xian Qin only record how to train junior weapon refiners, they are also a huge secret.
Today’s great craftsmen are merely special Qi-refining warriors who know how to engrave various basic Five Elements magic arrays. They are not as mysterious as the ancient weapon refiners.
According to historical records, even today's two large special spiritual weapons: the treasure ship and the spiritual crossbow cart, are weapons of war developed by the great craftsmen of the imperial court in this world in the late Tang Dynasty.
Before that, this vast world did not have these two types of large spiritual weapons. There were only spiritual weapons such as city defense formations and the main combat weapons of warriors at all levels.
"According to the instructions in these three matching introductory manuals for weapon refiners, in order to become a junior weapon refiner, a practitioner must possess the two innate attributes of gold and fire. Only then can one condense one's own spiritual fire through special training methods, thus becoming qualified to become a junior weapon refiner."
"Otherwise, no matter how hard you practice, you will never become a magical weapon refiner."
"These three ancient books of Xian Qin also specifically emphasized that during the mysterious Xian Qin Dynasty, there were very few junior weapon refiners. At that time, there were no more than ten known weapon refiners."
"This was simply incredible for the Xian Qin Dynasty, which had a population of billions at the time."
Li Dingguo was shocked for a while, then he said to himself, "Never mind, I'll try to see if I can condense my own spiritual fire."
“If I cannot successfully condense my own spiritual fire according to the method recorded in the secret book, I can only blame my bad luck.”
"If I can really condense my own spiritual fire, it means I have the qualifications to become a weapon refiner."
He immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and sat cross-legged on the ground. He first restored his mind to a calm state, and then began to practice according to the Five Elements Spirit Fire Refining Method he had just memorized.
His gift of photographic memory played a huge role at this time.
The texts and pictures in the three ancient books of Xian Qin have also been imprinted in his mind.
He put his five hearts toward the sky, and used a special ancient spell recorded in ancient books to begin refining his own life force. He soon fell into a state of selfless retreat...
