The calculation of military achievements within the army has a very complicated algorithm, which varies with position.
For a common soldier, beheading enemies of the Third Level is counted as a great achievement and warrants a promotion by one rank. However, for a Commander, even if he killed hundreds of ordinary soldiers, it might not even count as a minor achievement. This shows the strictness of the calculation of military achievements.
Even under such a strict system of calculation, Ye Zhen undeniably earned the greatest military achievement in the Eastern Expedition.
No one could question this, not even Gu Zhaoge, the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition Army.
For this reason, the second greatest military achievement of this Eastern Expedition still went to the Left Army, to its Vice Commander Zhou Zhen.
There was no helping it. The Left Army had taken the lead in breakthroughs and captured the most cities, granting them an innate advantage in terms of military achievements.
