Duels should be played with a smile.

After the barracks were completed, Leyou's first deployment was not of conscripted soldiers, but of two engineers and several police dogs.

Police dogs are much faster at scouting than conscripts, and they are also much more discreet. Leyou has learned from the second squad ahead that only enemy troops that appear in the field of vision will have a health bar displayed. Therefore, assigning some police dogs to various easily overlooked bushes can be used as "reconnaissance guards".

"The combat effectiveness of American soldiers after deployment far surpasses that of conscripts, and their advantage is overwhelming in defense. In such situations..."

As K's troops gradually withdrew, Leyou issued unified orders to the first detachment that had returned and all the conscripts in the base.

"Except for the second detachment, all conscripts will be incorporated into the first detachment and march toward the port!"

The police dogs following the enemy have detected K's deployment near the port. If most of the current conscripts are deployed, it will be enough to capture the port.

As Leyou predicted, the port was successfully captured after losing most of the conscripted soldiers.

K, who was at the first outpost, smiled smugly after seeing the heavy losses suffered by Leyou's troops on his tactics panel.

"Having already expended a large number of troops at the very beginning, it's already a pipe dream to try and capture my main base!"

"Not to mention, I've also prepared a special gift for you!"

K continued issuing orders to all barracks to train the police dogs, then returned to headquarters to begin planning for the second game—yes, he knew all three game options from the start, and with so many advantages, losing? Impossible!

On the other side, Leyou gathered all the remaining conscripts together and revealed a smug smile.

During the attack, he truly performed some micromanagement; his powerful mental fortitude allowed him to precisely control each soldier—otherwise, the casualties wouldn't have been so heavy.

In this kind of simple and unpretentious hedging, sometimes recklessness is indeed more effective.

The benefit of expending so much effort and losing most of the soldiers was that the remaining soldiers were all upgraded to level 3, which is elite level!

Combat units gain experience when they kill enemy soldiers, and the accumulation of experience naturally leads to leveling up. What Leyou painstakingly did was to have the soldiers in front stop attacking after bringing the enemy to low health, leaving the finishing blows to the "selected" soldiers in the back!

In this game, the difference between a unit level 0 and level 3 is a qualitative leap! Conscripts need special methods to overwhelm regular soldiers.

"And... the good things I've prepared for you aren't just this!"

The port has many buildings and many ships of various sizes docked, but these ships are neutral units and cannot be taken over to help. Moreover, the later battles are all land battles, so the ships are not of any use.

"So... the greatest use of these useless things is for destruction!"

"The best way to deal with infantry is naturally a tank horde... I didn't unlock tanks in this level, but that doesn't mean I don't have any armored vehicles!"

"My special forces, it's time to make their appearance!"

At a command, all the mining trucks that were still mining in the mine headed towards the port.

The full name of the mining truck in the Leyou faction is "Armed Mining Truck"!

Not only does it have extremely high armor and health, but it can also automatically regenerate health and has considerable firepower against infantry!

Here's a joke: one of the Allied tanks, the Prism Tank, when outnumbered, will be easily wiped out by an Elite Armored Mining Truck!

"Mining carts, go and dismantle all the ships in the port and upgrade them to elite level!"

"Then... let that guy really experience what the power of the working class is like!"

---

Completely letting loose, wondering who will watch.

The invincible mining site is truly etched into my memory; the time-traveling minecart? I'm really not familiar with that.

Looking at Yuri's slave mining factory, one can only say that the mine carts are brimming with martial prowess.

Chapter Five: The Power of the Class!

The flesh and blood body has the most instinctive fear of a torrent of steel.

Faced with an unstoppable torrent of steel, the strength of flesh and blood is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

After the armed mining operations cleared out all the ships in the port, most of the mines were upgraded to elite level. The remaining few also successfully upgraded to elite level after eating a box that suddenly appeared.

There weren't many mining trucks; only five were brought over. After all, without a heavy factory, the production of mining trucks could only be achieved by building them as an add-on.

Even so, it's more than enough.

With a limited number of conscripted soldiers and a limited number of mines, Leyou's current forces perfectly exemplify the principle that quality is more important than quantity.

"There's no time to waste, comrades!"

With Leyou's command, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The terrain and situation ahead have been thoroughly explored by Leyou using police dogs, and K's support, which had come from a detour, has also been discovered. There is only one thing to do next!

"Once you've learned my operational methods, all that's left is F2A!"

With steel tracks rolling forward, and under the shouts of the conscripts, the genuine elite troops marched from the port toward the enemy's first outpost in a not-so-large-scale operation.

In the game, the terrain of this level is very simple and straightforward. Not far to the northeast from the base is the first Allied outpost, and to the northwest is the second outpost. After that, if you continue to advance, you will arrive at the final destination, the Pentagon.

"To be fair, I might not be human, but you really are a dog..."

Through the vision gained by the police dogs, Leyou was able to observe the situation of part of the first outpost on the tactical panel. Most of the layout was the same as in the game, just a small outpost simply surrounded by a wall. The only difference was the number of troops stationed there.

In addition to the many deployed soldiers, the stronghold also has many units that do not exist in the original game, which is obviously K's doing.

If Leyou attacks without any preparation, they will most likely be wiped out here.

"This guy... he's got some skills, but unfortunately, it's still not enough."

He ordered most of the conscripts to wait outside the enemy's firing range, and then sent one conscript out of the ranks, preparing to launch a probing attack.

The main thing is to see how precise K can be in controlling his own troops.

"Comrade! Go in peace! We are with you!" Leyou shouted and saluted the conscripted soldiers as they stepped forward, then gave them detailed instructions one by one.

The conscript's gaze was resolute. In Leyou's mind, he was just a good brother worth 100 yuan, but at this moment, he seemed to be a steel soldier forged by that red aura.

While Leyou was trying to probe the situation by controlling the conscripted soldiers alone, K had already noticed the anomaly. After looking at the small number of conscripted soldiers that Leyou had brought from a distance, he was somewhat puzzled, but he couldn't help but applaud to himself.

"As expected, that was just good luck. I managed to exchange a small number of soldiers for most of their army. Are they now planning a desperate last stand?"

K had witnessed Leyou's pre-battle pep talk, and he simply smiled dismissively at it.

"Ha, this is a game! There's no such thing as a one-man army king like in real life!"

"Let me show you the big gift I've prepared for you!"

"Close the door! Unleash the dogs!"

Just a second before Leyou's elite conscripts were about to enter the firing range of the American soldiers, the barking of dogs suddenly rose and fell throughout the stronghold. Immediately afterwards, a vast number of police dogs rushed out from around the deployed soldiers and charged toward Leyou's troops with unstoppable momentum.

In the real world, it's only a matter of probability for a well-trained police dog to subdue a soldier instantly, because the soldier is armed.

However, in this game... the police dog's health bar is the best guarantee of survival, and the police dog's ability to instantly kill biological units makes them almost invincible when dealing with infantry.

In the world of Red Alert, K ​​used a tactic that works exceptionally well in other games—mindless ganking!

The conscripts were far slower than the police dogs. Even though he had already started running back, the distance between him and the police dog army was rapidly closing. He had no time to turn around and fire a shot to stop them, because the vast sea of ​​dogs behind him was not something that could be dealt with by one or two bullets.

"To be honest... this tactic really took me by surprise." Leyou murmured, gazing at the sea of ​​dogs that outnumbered his own conscripts several times over.

He had considered that K might have various countermeasures, but he really didn't expect this move.

Honestly, in the game, his use of police dogs is limited to catching "spies." When it comes to dealing with infantry forces... Tanya and the Navy SEALs, special forces who can take down infantrymen with a single shot from a distance, are much more capable than your police dogs that need to run over to bite people.

So, unable to get his hands on Tanya and the Navy SEALs, he opted for the most basic tactic.

Compensating for quality with quantity!

"Conscription battalion! Change formation!"

Upon receiving the order, the elite conscripts quickly adjusted their positions, forming an arc before the horde of dogs arrived.

While spreading out as much as possible, avoid entering the enemy's firing range and expand the coverage of close-range firepower—the AI ​​in the game doesn't have this concept; often, a bunch of soldiers stand together, and only the ones in front can hit the enemy. Now, Leyou can control it itself.

A vast number of police dogs rushed into the "pocket formation" set up by Leyou. The first conscript, who was still running, lowered his body slightly after entering the range of fire.

Immediately afterwards, the police dog unit also entered the firing range, but Leyou remained unmoved.

Time ticked by, and the enemy forces drew ever closer.

Soon, the police dog unit at the forefront and on the outermost edge will approach the conscripted troops.

"3 seconds to go, prepare to fire—"

"Three...two..."

The next second—

"Give me a damn beating!"

"Da da da da da da—"

Fierce flames erupted continuously from the muzzle of the gun. There was no need to doubt the accuracy of the elite conscripts; every bullet they fired precisely avoided their teammates and hit the enemy!

The existence of health bars prevents conscripts from eliminating an enemy with a single bullet, but similarly, given enough firepower... nothing can withstand a hail of bullets for more than a few seconds!

If you can empty the health bar, even an aircraft carrier will be blown up by the conscripts' machine guns!

"Awooo—"

With each mournful whimper of the police dogs, it felt like stepping back into the battlefield of Dynasty Warriors, where the guns in the conscripts' hands were like the sickles used by those warriors who could take on a thousand men to harvest weeds.

The instant the sickle lightly sliced ​​across the neck of the police dog unit, the rapidly charging dogs lost sight of their surroundings, their bodies continuing their final sprint on the ground due to inertia.

It stopped right at the feet of the conscripts, leaving glaring streaks of blood on the asphalt road.

"What's going on?!"

K, who had been sitting calmly waiting to see the show, suddenly looked displeased and immediately ordered the entire police dog unit to return. He also stopped all plans to produce police dogs in the barracks and instead started training the most unassuming soldiers.

However, at the same time he ordered a retreat, Leyou also keenly noticed the movement of these police dogs and immediately issued an order for the mobilization troops to advance.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. As a casual gamer, Leyou could not have studied formal military theory, but some maxims that embody the wisdom of countless predecessors can help him make some accurate judgments by combining his own gaming experience.

After advancing to within striking distance of the enemy soldiers' firing range, very few of the fleeing enemy police dogs remained.

"How could this be?!" K cursed under his breath, his brows furrowed, as he pulled up the unit data he had obtained through back channels and began to examine it.

After quickly reviewing the information, K cursed again, "What trash troops! What a waste of my money!"

"Continue to garrison troops in the rear. The second outpost will mobilize some troops to support the first outpost. All police dog units will return to the rear base and be deployed in a dispersed manner!"

"Wait?! What's going on now?"

From K's tactical perspective, he saw that Leyou's conscripted troops had pulled out a group of new recruits who had just arrived on the battlefield from the barracks. After the recruits were formed into a unit, they charged towards the first outpost with the momentum of a suicide squad.
